abstract = {{The Uluzzian techno-complex is commonly considered to be a {\textquotedblleft}transitional industry{\textquotedblright} mostly {\textless}br{\textgreater}on the basis of some inferred characteristics such as a chiefly flake-based production, a small amount of {\textless}br{\textgreater}Upper Palaeolithic-like tools and a combination of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic elements both in the {\textless}br{\textgreater}toolkit and in the technical systems. Following its discovery, the Uluzzian was identified as the Italian {\textless}br{\textgreater}counterpart of the French Ch{\^a}telperronian and attributed to Neandertals. However, a study issued in 2011 {\textless}br{\textgreater}has established the modern character of the two deciduous teeth found in 1964 in the Uluzzian deposit {\textless}br{\textgreater}of Grotta del Cavallo, fostering renewed interests to the Uluzzian culture, which real nature is almost {\textless}br{\textgreater}unknown to the international scientific community. Here we provide preliminary results of the study on the {\textless}br{\textgreater}lithic assemblage from the earliest Uluzzian layer and on backed pieces from the whole Uluzzian sequence {\textless}br{\textgreater}of Grotta del Cavallo (Apulia, Italy), the type site of the Uluzzian. Moreover, besides a thorough review {\textless}br{\textgreater}on the stratigraphy of Grotta del Cavallo (Supplementary Materials), we provide updated information on {\textless}br{\textgreater}the human remains by presenting two unpublished teeth from the reworked deposit of the same cave. We {\textless}br{\textgreater}conclude that the early Uluzzians demonstrate original technological behavior and innovations devoid of {\textless}br{\textgreater}any features deriving or directly linked with the late Mousterian of Southern Italy. Therefore, the novelty {\textless}br{\textgreater}nature of the Uluzzian techno-complex (with respect to the preceding Mousterian) complies with the recent {\textless}br{\textgreater}reassessment of the two deciduous teeth from Grotta del Cavallo in suggesting an earliest migration of {\textless}br{\textgreater}modern humans in southern Europe around 45,000 years ago.}},
