Dwarfism in an adolescent from the Italian late Upper Palaeolithic

Nature, 1987
There have been numerous reports of pathological conditions in the hominid fossils, but these have only involved trauma or age-related deterioration in the health of otherwise normal individuals. Here we describe a skeleton of a young male from Riparo del Romito in Calabria, dated to the Epi-Gravettian of southern Italy. The preserved skeletal elements

Isotope evidence for the intensive use of marine foods by Late Upper Palaeolithic humans

Journal of Human Evolution, 2005
We report here on direct evidence for the intensive consumption of marine foods by anatomically modern humans at approximately 12,000 years ago. We undertook isotopic analysis of bone collagen from three humans, dating to the late Palaeolithic, from the site of Kendrick's Cave in North Wales, UK.

Porotic hyperostosis in a Late Upper Palaeolithic skeleton (Villabruna 1, Italy)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2009
AbstractPorotic hyperostosis (PH) is a well‐recognised skeletal indicator of physiological stress occurring during the early years of childhood growth. Although frequently found starting from the Neolithic, PH is poorly documented among earlier Palaeolithic hunter–gatherers.

Filling the gaps: Late Upper Palaeolithic settlement in Gvardjilas Klde, Georgia

Quaternary International, 2021
Abstract The paper presents the newly established radiocarbon dates of the Late Upper Palaeolithic (LUP) settlement in Gvardjilas Klde in the Imereti region in Georgia. The analysed samples were collected by Stefan Krukowski in 1916 during his fieldwork in the cave. Krukowski identified two separate UP cultural horizons.

The Late Upper Palaeolithic Occupation of the Moroccan Northwest Maghreb During the Last Glacial Maximum

African Archaeological Review, 2005
New work at Kehf el Hammar Cave provides the first well-dated palaeoenvironmental sequence for the Late Upper Palaeolithic in this region of the northwest Maghreb. The archaeological layers are dated via a combination of AMS radiocarbon and luminescence dating methods.

The Population of Late Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Britain

Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 1992
In the absence of direct evidence, archaeologists interested in the demography of stone age hunter-gatherer societies are forced to turn their attention to sites as the unit of analysis. The distribution of sites and their varying density across space and through time have been considered to be acceptable, proxy, population records (see for example ...

First evidence of a Late Upper Palaeolithic human presence in Ireland

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2016
Abstract The colonisation of North West Europe by humans and fauna following the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) has been the subject of considerable discussion in recent decades and within multiple disciplines. Here we present new evidence that pushes back the date of human footfall in Ireland by up to 2500 cal BP to the Upper Palaeolithic. An assemblage

Ritual use of Romito Cave During the Late Upper Palaeolithic:

2016
Grotta del Romito is one of the most significant Upper Palaeolithic sites on the Italian peninsula. The site comprises a rock shelter and a cave which would have been connected during the Palaeolithic to form a large living space. The imposing figure of an urus (Bos primigenius) and numerous linear signs are featured on two large boulders located under
