The Function(s) of Archaic Aurignacian Bladelets: Data and Thoughts Based on Examples from Isturitz Cave (Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France) [PDF]
Palethnologie, 2009 Very early on, prehistoric groups in the western Pyrenees benefitted from the favorable geographic situation and vast dimensions of Isturitz Cave. The excavations conducted there in the beginning of the 20th century revealed evidence of frequent occupations during the Middle, and especially Upper Paleolithic. Starting in 1999, new research in the Saint-

The first Homo sapiens in Catalonia, hunters and gatherers from the old Upper Palaeolithic [PDF]
Catalan Historical Review, 2016 At the end of the Middle Palaeolithic around 40,000 years ago, a population of archaic humans, Neanderthal men descended from the earliest settlers, lived in Europe. They were perfectly adapted to the land and its resources.

Palethnologie, 2015 Recent excavations at Isturitz Cave by Christian Normand have yielded a rich assemblage of Aurignacian personal ornaments in chronostratigraphic context. Here, we present the first study of this corpus, focusing on the techniques used for perforating teeth; the chronological variation in the selection of animal teeth (and one human tooth); the raw ...

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 2, Page 221-234, February 2023., 2023 Abstract El Castillo Cave is one of the most important sites for understanding the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic in Europe. Despite its importance, the absence of a widely used stratigraphic section with detailed lithostratigraphic descriptions and correlations between the different geological and archaeological interpretations has led to confusion in ...

Iberian Neanderthals in forests and savannahs
Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 335-362, February 2022., 2022 Abstract This article aims to delve into the reality of glacial refuges of forests and tree species (including conifers, mesothermophilous angiosperms and xerothermic scrub) during the cold dry phases of the Iberian Pleistocene in which there is evidence of occupation of Middle Palaeolithic people.

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 235-256, February 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT The Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition, between 50 000 and 40 000 years ago, is a period of important ecological and cultural changes. In this framework, the Rock Shelter of Uluzzo C (Apulia, southern Italy) represents an important site due to Late Mousterian and Uluzzian evidence preserved in its stratigraphic sequence.

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 37, Issue 2, Page 181-193, February 2022., 2022 ABSTRACT It has long been proposed that during Pleistocene climatic perturbations the Balkan peninsula sustained refugial areas for fauna, flora, and potentially, hominins. In this study, we explore Middle Palaeolithic subsistence at the peninsula's southern end, Greece, and discuss how the evidence contributes to our understanding of the region's ...
