Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.Recent years have seen landmark progress in our understanding of early Homo sapiens occupation of Europe, owing to new excavations and the application of new analytical methods. Research on British sites, however, continues to lag. This is because of limitations inherent in existing cave collections, and limited options for new fieldwork at known sites.

Geoarchaeology, Volume 41, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT The Pyrenees have been considered a natural barrier for prehistoric populations. However, in recent years, Palaeolithic research has established connections between the two sides through the analysis of cherts. Among others, the presence of Chalosse cherts in sites on the southern slopes of the Pyrenees has proven the mobility of objects and ...

Radiocarbon dating the Aurignacian sequence at Isturitz (France): Implications for the timing and development of the Protoaurignacian and Early Aurignacian in western Europe [PDF]
Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 2018 Abstract The site of Isturitz is clearly important to discussions of the emergence and development of the Aurignacian. It bears a long stratigraphic sequence of this period and has benefited from recent excavation and analysis. In this paper we present 18 new AMS radiocarbon dates (Normand excavation), covering the majority of the Aurignacian ...
