New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

Unfused transverse foramen of the atlas vertebra in the Neandertal lineage fossils

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract In anatomically modern humans, the atlas can display an unfused transverse foramen (UTF) but currently the presence of UTF in the Neandertal lineage is uncertain due to a scarcity of prevalence studies and no exhaustive record of its presence throughout the entire hominin fossil record.

Raw Material Economisation in Aotearoa New Zealand: Evidence for Manufacture and Recycling of Adzes on Ahuahu Great Mercury Island

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Raw materials are used to characterise the early settlement of Aotearoa Te Wai Pounamu New Zealand by Māori. Current models suggest change in raw material use over time occurred in response to changing social organisation and reduced resource availability. However, few studies have examined spatial variation in raw material use.

The Manufacture of Rochia nilotica rings: The chaîne opératoire Identified for Lapita Sites in Vanuatu

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rings made on marine shell are a conspicuous artefact form found throughout cultural sequences for much of the Pacific over millennia. Despite their importance in both recent and ancient times, in‐depth consideration of the manufacturing processes involved in shell ring production are limited.

Fire Histories and Rainforest Aboriginal Archaeology in the Wet Tropics Bioregion, North Queensland

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unlike the dominant Australian savanna‐sclerophyll vegetation, tropical rainforests do not burn easily. Any evidence of fire in Australian rainforests therefore invites explanations of its source. Analysis of 187 radiocarbon dates that include selected charcoal fragments from 23 soil pits and 7 archaeological sites from the Wet Tropics ...
