The first Neanderthal remains from an open-air Middle Palaeolithic site in the Levant

Scientific Reports, 2017
The late Middle Palaeolithic (MP) settlement patterns in the Levant included the repeated use of caves and open landscape sites. The fossil record shows that two types of hominins occupied the region during this period—Neandertals and Homo sapiens. Until

A Middle Palaeolithic wooden digging stick from Aranbaltza III, Spain.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Aranbaltza is an archaeological complex formed by at least three open-air sites. Between 2014 and 2015 a test excavation carried out in Aranbaltza III revealed the presence of a sand and clay sedimentary sequence formed in floodplain environments, within

Procurement of Senonian Flint for Bladelets Production at the Early PPNB Site of Nahal Zahal in the Northern Negev Established for the First Time Using Chemical Composition Analysis

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The hypotheses of Senonian flint to be a prime source of prehistoric “chalcedony” flint artefacts from the Negev Desert (Israel) was not investigated in detail thus far. By combining trace‐element profiling with statistical interpretation, ten flint items from Nahal Zahal, an Early Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B site in the northern Negev, were ...

Upper Palaeolithic and Late Stone Age Human Diet

Journal of PHYSIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY and Applied Human Science, 2005
Undoubtedly modern mankind is an omnivorous species. Nevertheless, types of diet changed at the time of anthropogenesis. The Upper Palaeolithic period is the crucial time because of the appearance of anatomically modern humans in Europe. The main goal in this period investigation is to find the Neanderthal man-Upper Palaeolithic man diet distinction. A

Modern Fire Safety Protocols in the Archeological Contexts: A New Tool for Studying the Health and Behavioral Effects of Fire Use in Semi‐Closed Spaces

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, integrated with controlled fire experiments, to investigate combustion processes in semi‐closed spaces. The framework enables systematic modeling of smoke dispersal, particulate transport, and hearth performance under variable morphologies and ventilation ...

Detecting human presence at the border of the Northeastern Italian Pre-Alps. 14C dating at Rio Secco cave as expression of the first Gravettian and the late mousterian in the Northern Adriatic Region.

PLoS ONE, 2014
In the northern Adriatic regions, which include the Venetian region and the Dalmatian coast, late Neanderthal settlements are recorded in few sites and even more ephemeral are remains of the Mid-Upper Palaeolithic occupations.

Artists on the edge of the world: An integrated approach to the study of Magdalenian engraved stone plaquettes from Jersey (Channel Islands).

PLoS ONE, 2020
The Upper Palaeolithic is characterised by the appearance of iconographic expressions most often depicting animals, including anthropomorphic forms, and geometric signs.

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over
