Arturo Palma di Cesnola (14 March 1928 – 9 July 2019)Firenze[1][2][3] is an Italian archaeologist. He has worked extensively on the Italian Upper Palaeolithic.
Palma di Cesnola defined the Uluzzien, one of the earliest modern human traditions in Europe,[1] and is responsible for popularising the term Epigravettian for describing Upper Palaeolithic assemblages in Italy after the Last Glacial Maximum,[4] a term coined by Georges Laplace in 1958.[5] He was also among the first Italian researchers to popularise in Italy Laplace's "analytical typology" for describing stone tools.[6]
