Wari Lithic Technology on the Northern Coast of the Andes: Geochemical, 2D Geometric Morphometric, and Technological Analyses of Obsidian Bifaces From San José de Moro

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines Wari obsidian production in a cache of 39 bifaces found at the Late Moche site of San José de Moro (Jequetepeque Valley, North Coast of Peru, 700–850 ad). Portable X‐ray fluorescence, geometric morphometric, and technological analyses were used to investigate raw material provenance and bifacial production.

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

open access: yesActa Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Pleistocene wolves (Canis lupus) from Sicily represent one of the few known insular populations of this species from that time period. Despite their potential relevance for understanding carnivore adaptations in insular contexts, no dedicated study has previously investigated their morphology and evolutionary significance.

Lithic Industry in Khairkhan Cave, Mongolia

open access: yesProblems of Archaeology, Ethnography, Anthropology of Siberia and Neighboring Territories
Discovered in 2022 in the southwest of the Khangai Mountains and located in a separate limestone massif, Khairkhan Cave is the only Paleolithic site in the area and the first cave site in the mountainous country in general. Less than 200 km away there is the Khoid-Tsenkheriyn-Agui Cave, known for its Paleolithic paintings.
