Changing food webs before and during the Last Glacial Maximum based on stable isotopes of animal bone collagen from Lower Austria

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 8, Page 1337-1356, November 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT We investigated palaeofood web structures using stable isotope analyses on animal bone collagen from four Upper Palaeolithic sites dated to the Early Gravettian (Krems‐Hundssteig and Krems‐Wachtberg: 33–31k cal a bp, Langenlois: 31–29k cal a bp) and to the Early Epigravettian (Kammern‐Grubgraben: 24–20k cal a bp).

Neanderthal use of animal bones as retouchers at the Level XV of the Sopeña rock shelter (Asturias, northern Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 33, Issue 6, Page 1064-1079, November/December 2023., 2023
Abstract Bone retouchers are a technological appliance used to perfect lithic tools efficiently. They are most frequently found in Middle Palaeolithic contexts. In this paper, we present a group of bone retouchers from the Mousterian Level XV of the Sopeña rock shelter (Asturias, Spain).

L’Atelier aurignacien découvert à Bușag (Nord-Ouest de la Roumanie). Données préliminaires.

Materiale și Cercetări Arheologice, 2021
Rescue excavations carried out on the Bușag Hill in 2019 (the Palaeolithic site had been identified and excavated by Maria Bitiri in the 1960s and 1970s) allowed for new stratigraphic observations required by a future re-evaluation of the chronology ...

Autism, the Integrations of 'Difference' and the Origins of Modern Human Behaviour [PDF]

, 2009
It is proposed here that the archaeological evidence for the emergence of 'modern behaviour' (160,000-40,000 bp) can best be explained as the rise of cognitive variation within populations through social mechanisms for integrating 'different minds ...

A step back to move forward: a geological re‐evaluation of the El Castillo Cave Middle Palaeolithic lithostratigraphic units (Cantabria, northern Iberia)

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 ...

The timing of Aurignacian occupation of the British Peninsula [PDF]

, 2012
Unlike regions farther south, the timing of the appearance of the Aurignacian in the far northwest of Europe is very poorly defined. This is the result of a less abundant archaeological record and problems associated with its early excavation.
