International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 555-570, November/December 2025.

However, detailed publications of bird remains from the Natufian are scant, especially regarding the Early Natufian, and the available evidence shows high inter‐site variability that begs explanation ...

ABSTRACT Coastal‐oriented communities of the Ertebølle culture co‐existed in southern Scandinavia 6000–7000 years ago in relative proximity to farming communities.
