Late Middle Paleolithic Adaptations and Their Possible Consequences

BioScience, 1970
I proposed a model based on certain empirical generalizations drawn from the extant lithic and paleontological data of the early Wiirm of the Levant-a model which, it was hoped, could explain the distributions observed. Means were proposed for testing the adequacy of the sample on which the generalizations were made, although testing the model itself ...

Journal of Field Archaeology, 1995
Abstract A multi-year program of subsurface surveys and excavations in a peat bog was carried out to investigate subsistence and settlement patterns of prehistoric hunter-gatherers in Central Europe. The Federsee of SW Germany has long been known for its rich archaeological record for the Neolithic and Bronze Age, due largely to the exceptional ...

Regional variation in the postcranial robusticity of late upper paleolithic humans

American Journal of Physical Anthropology, 2007
AbstractEarly modern humans from the European Upper Paleolithic (UP) demonstrate trends in postcranial biomechanical features that coincide with the last glacial maximum (LGM). These features have been interpreted as evidence that ecological changes of the LGM played a critical role in cultural and biological adaptation in European UP populations.

Hunting in Late Upper Paleolithic Western Europe

1987
Three papers in this volume (Fisher, Frison, Morlan) deal with the prey and hunting practices of the terminal Pleistocene/initial Holocene Paleoindians and four authors (Behrensmeyer, Trinkaus, Binford, Klein) debate the crucial issue of hunting by early (“proto-human”) hominids.

Climate and Environment in Late Paleolithic Southwest Europe

2016
Although the Broad Spectrum Revolution model focuses primarily on human population pressure, environmental variables also contribute to the carrying capacity of any particular landscape. For this reason, understanding environmental change is critical to any test of the Broad Spectrum Revolution.

North Africa, the Nile Valley, and the Problem of the Late Paleolithic

Current Anthropology, 1972
Chicago, Ill., U.S.A. 30 vi 70 Prior to the initiation of the Nubian campaign in 1961, it was widely accepted that during the terminal Pleistocene the Nile Valley was occupied by conservative groups with an essentially Mousterian technology. Blade and bladelet industries were unknown except for the Helwan, which was thought to be a late intrusion ...

Radiocarbon Dating of a Late Paleolithic Culture from Egypt

Science, 1964
Two radiocarbon dates of about 12,000 B.C. for a new prehistoric culture from a stratified site at Kom Ombo, Upper Egypt, throw light on a deposition phase of the late Pleistocene Nile. The dates reveal that the associated blade industry is coeval with at least the later part of the Upper Paleolithic in Europe and Southwestern Asia.
