Climate-driven habitat shifts of high-ranked prey species structure Late Upper Paleolithic hunting

Scientific Reports, 2023
Changing climates in the past affected both human and faunal population distributions, thereby structuring human diets, demography, and cultural evolution. Yet, separating the effects of climate-driven and human-induced changes in prey species abundances

Dynamics of Climate and Human Settlement During the Middle and Upper Paleolithic in the Northwestern Caucasus

PaleoAnthropology, 2022
Recent studies of the Middle and Upper Paleolithic in the northwestern Caucasus are focused on the research of relations between natural (climate and environment) and social (behavior and adaptations) factors that governed settlement dynamics of ...

Luminescence chronology of the key-Middle Paleolithic site Khotylevo I (Western Russia) - Implications for the timing of occupation, site formation and landscape evolution

Quaternary Science Advances, 2020
Here we present the luminescence chronology for the Middle Paleolithic open-air site of Khotylevo I, area I-6-2, in Western Russia. Even with a sizable number of such sites available on the Russian Plain, to our knowledge, no successful corresponding ...

Lower Paleolithic Winds of Change: Prepared Core Technologies and the Onset of the Levallois Method in the Levantine Late Acheulian

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
The life cycle of a successful technological innovation usually follows a well-known path: a slow inception, gradual assimilation of the technology, an increase in its frequency up to a certain peak, and then a decline.

Flint Type Analysis at Late Acheulian Jaljulia (Israel), and Implications for the Origins of Prepared Core Technologies

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Prepared Core Technologies, often considered a hallmark of the Middle Paleolithic Mousterian, have recently been observed, to some extent, in many late Lower Paleolithic Acheulian sites.

The reliability of late radiocarbon dates from the Paleolithic of southern China [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021
We have concerns over the reliability of the radiocarbon data used to support a later arrival of Homo sapiens in southern China (1). The pretreatment chemistry methods used to derive their accelerator mass spectrometry dates are not reported, they fail to define the nature of the dated material, and the limited analytical data fall almost completely ...

L’exploitation des cétacés au Paléolithique récent

Les Nouvelles de l’Archéologie, 2019
The archeology of the foreshore in the Late Paleolithic is difficult to approach, because most of the current seashore lines are far removed from the position they had at that times.

The Wadi Madamagh (Petra Region, Jordan) Late Upper Paleolithic and Initial/Early Epipaleolithic Lithic Components

PaleoAnthropology, 2022
Wadi Madamagh is a key site for the Late Upper Paleolithic and the Initial/Early Epipaleolithic in the Petra region of Jordan. First excavated in 1956 by Diana Kirkbride, it was subsequently tested in 1983, and excavated by two separate teams in the ...
