The Late Paleolithic industries of southern China (Lingnan region)

Quaternary International, 2020
Abstract Late Paleolithic sites are widely distributed in southern China (the Lingnan region), which mainly includes Guangxi, Guangdong and Hainan Provinces. Although the pebble-tool industry continued to exist in this region during the late Pleistocene and Holocene, small flake-tool assemblages also occurred and coexisted with the pebble-tool ...

The late Middle Paleolithic and earliest Upper Paleolithic in Central Europe and their relevance for the Out of Africa hypothesis

Quaternary International, 2001
Abstract The available data from Central Europe is consistent with the hypothesis that Homo sapiens sapiens evolved initially outside Europe and colonized the different regions of the continent previously occupied by Neanderthals between roughly 50 and 30 kyr BP.

Current observations of the early Late Paleolithic in Korea

Quaternary International, 2013
Abstract Material evidence from the Korean early Late Paleolithic, dating between the end of MIS 3 and the beginning of MIS 2, shows that Paleolithic tools were primarily comprised of simply made cores and flakes and a small number of blades. The blade toolkits were introduced, but did not immediately replace coexisting simplified forms of tools ...

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 ...

Two Late Paleolithic Sites on the Federsee, Germany

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.
