Impacted Bones: Can Extant Primates Help Identify Tool Use in Early Hominins?
Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.ABSTRACT Despite recent advances pushing back the earliest record of tool use, how and when it first emerged in hominins, and the extent to which it featured amongst the numerous co‐existing species, remain critical questions in paleoanthropology. In addition to analyzing fossils and lithic toolkits, novel strides in understanding this might be made by

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 5, September 2026.Potentially toxic metal(loid)s (PTMs) bioaccumulated across a plant‐herbivore‐predator food chain. Irrespective of soil concentrations, female crickets actively selected PTM‐enriched leaves, while predatory mantids showed no developmental impairment. Trophic transfer of PTMs was rather influenced more by a function of intrinsic species traits than by ...

Tradition Itaparica and early lithic industry of Lapa do Boquete (Minas Gerais, Brazil)
Revista do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia, 1995 Some archaeogists have grouped the early holocenic lithic industries of central Brazil in a wide paleo-indian horizon named Tradition Itaparica, which remains are mostly found in rockshelters.

Kunara Lithic Industry: A Preliminary Report
, 2020 Kunara is located in Suleymanieh Province, in the North-Eastern part of Iraqi Kurdistan and excavated since 2012 by the Peramagron Project headed since 2015 by Dr. Aline Tenu. The lithic industry is composed of 102 artifacts made in both flint and obsidian. Flakes, blades and bladelets (unretouched and retouched) were found in all areas (A, B, C, D and

LITHIC TECHNOLOGY OF THE SOSRUKO ROCKSHELTER EARLY HOLOCENE INDUSTRIES
History, Archeology and Ethnography of the Caucasus, 2023 The paper discusses the emergence and spread of pressure blademaking in the Elbrus region of the North Caucasus. The results of the lithic technology analysis of the key stratified site of the Mesolithic Layers M-1 and M-2 of the Sosruko Rockshelter are presented. The materials from the excavations of 1955-1957, conducted by S.N.

Facilitation influences when trees grow, but not growth rate in a dry temperate forest
Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 2668-2684, August 2026.Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Accurately predicting the role of forests in the global carbon cycle requires a detailed understanding of the factors mediating the timing and magnitude of radial stem growth. While weather conditions and topo‐edaphic factors play a critical role in mediating short‐term

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 674-686, August 2026.ABSTRACT Investigating why hominins adopted particular flake technologies during the Mid‐to‐Late Pleistocene is essential to understanding patterns of lithic innovation. This period witnessed the emergence of Levallois technologies (~350–250 ka) and later blades, each “replacing” earlier forms.

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 250-277, August 2026.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 ...
