BRINGING BACK FAMILIAR FORMS: RECYCLING QUINA SCRAPERS AT THE LATE LOWER PALAEOLITHIC QESEM CAVE, ISRAEL

open access: yesOxford Journal of Archaeology, EarlyView.
Summary This study presents a technological analysis of 18 old patinated scrapers and spalls, mostly of Quina technology, that were recycled into new scrapers of the same type at the Late Lower Palaeolithic site of Qesem Cave, Israel (420–200 kyr). Recycling scrapers into the same Quina and demi‐Quina types offers a rare, controlled opportunity to ...

The Neolithic transition in Europe: archaeological models and genetic evidence [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The major pattern in the European gene pool is a southeast-northwest frequency gradient of classic genetic markers such as blood groups, which population geneticists initially attributed to the demographic impact of Neolithic farmers dispersing from the ...

Mid‐infrared spectroscopy applied to a multi‐level cave system (Montmaurin, SW France): An innovative method for assessing sediment provenance

open access: yesSedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Proportions des tissus des dents déciduales chez deux individus de Dordogne (France) : l’enfant néanderthalien du Roc de Marsal et le spécimen du Paléolithique supérieur final de La Madeleine.

open access: yesBulletins et Mémoires de la Société d’Anthropologie de Paris, 2008
Recent advances in the application to the human fossil record of high-resolution microtomographic analytical techniques allow the noninvasive quantitative characterization of the inner dental structure. Compared to the extant human condition, Neanderthal

Reading hominin life history in fossil bones and teeth: methods to test hypotheses regarding its evolution

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1463-1478, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Human life history is derived compared to that of our closest living relatives, the great apes. It has been suggested that these derived traits are causally related to aspects of our ecology, social behaviour and cognitive abilities. However, resolving this requires that we know the evolutionary trajectory of our distinctive pattern of growth,

What Is the Acheulean?

open access: yesEvolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia ...

Dental Morphological Affinities Among Late-Pleistocene and Recent Humans

open access: yesDental Anthropology, 2000
The study uses analyses of Mean Measure of Divergence (MMD) to assess the affinities of ten populations representing early anatomically modern humans, Upper Paleolithic Europeans, recent modern humans, and Neandertals.
