The Aurignacian is an archaeological tradition of the Upper Paleolithic associated with European early modern humans lasting from 43,000 to 26,000 years ago.

The Gravettian was an archaeological industry of the European Upper Paleolithic that succeeded the Aurignacian circa 33,000 years BP. 

The Neolithic period is the final division of the Stone Age, with a wide-ranging set of developments that appear to have arisen independently in several parts of the world.
