Boreas, EarlyView.Our knowledge of the Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation in northern central Europe is very limited, and recent research at the open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg in Hesse, Germany, provides important new information on the Aurignacian. The site is rather small (26.5 m2) and spatial analysis identified a central hearth with two associated ...

The Late Paleolithic of Northeast Africa in the Light of Recent Research [PDF]
American Anthropologist, 1966 N THE past decade a considerable amount of new research in the Paleolithic range of prehistory has been accomplished in Northeast Africa, and particularly in the lower Nile Valley of Upper Egypt, Nubia, and Northern Sudan as a result of the salvage archeology program brought about by the construction of the High Dam at Aswan.

Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT On the occasion of SAFN's 50th anniversary I reflect on the development of biocultural and human evolutionary approaches to human diet and nutrition. I maintain that SAFN and its predecessors the Committee (1974–1987) and then Council on Nutritional Anthropology (1987–2004) have modeled, fostered, and advanced biocultural work in anthropology ...

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Excess adiposity is not a recently developed problem but has existed since at least the upper Paleolithic, allowing evolutionary selection pressures to adapt the physiology of the pregnant woman and the feto‐placental unit for maternal and fetal protection.

Oxford 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 ...

Sedimentology, 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 ...

Genomic Diversity of Aurochs From a Mediterranean Ice‐Age Refugium
Molecular Ecology, Volume 35, Issue 13, July 2026.ABSTRACT The aurochs, the wild ancestor of domestic cattle, was a keystone herbivore in Late Pleistocene Eurasian ecosystems and a major prey species for Palaeolithic hunter‐gatherers. Despite its significance, the genetic structure of aurochs populations that survived the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) remains poorly understood, especially in southeastern

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 190, Issue 2, June 2026.ABSTRACT Objectives Rib cross‐sectional mineralized area provides valuable insights into mechanical loading and bone growth and remodeling. Given the scarcity of Early Pleistocene costal remains in the context of human evolution, we aimed to study the cross‐sectional anatomy of fossil ribs from that period and compare them to a modern human ontogenetic

The use of bones as tools in Late Lower Paleolithic of Central Italy
Scientific ReportsAbstractThe Latium area in Italy has yielded rich evidence of Lower Paleolithic sites with both faunal remains, artefacts, and human fossil remains, such as the Ceprano human skull. Many are the sites where lithic industry has been found in association with bone industry.
