Seasonal Exploitation of Migratory Waterfowl at Natufian el‐Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel, Israel

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Increased avian exploitation is a hallmark of broad‐spectrum subsistence strategies in the Levantine Natufian culture (15,000–11,700 cal. BP). 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 ...

The First of Their Kind—The Significance of Sheep and Goat in the Neolithization Process of Northern Central Europe

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Coastal‐oriented communities of the Ertebølle culture co‐existed in southern Scandinavia 6000–7000 years ago in relative proximity to farming communities. Despite many years of research, it is still unclear what role individual domestic animals played in this context, mainly due to a lack of dating and identification issues.

Lions as Bone Accumulators? Exploring Multi‐Predator Contributions to the Olduvai Carnivore Site (OCS) (Tanzania) Through AI and Metric Analyses

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
