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

Archaeometry, 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.

Burins du Chasséen méridional [PDF]

, 2003
The lithic industries of the end of the fifth and beginning of the fourth millennium B.C. in south of France and Catalogne (Chasseen, Montbolo, Molinot, Sepulcros de Fosa cultures) rely for the most part on the importation of blades, and bladelet cores ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta 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.

Evolution of systems for obtaining resources between the end of the upper Magdalenian and the geometric Epipaleolithic of El Parco Cave (Alòs de Balaguer, La Noguera, Lleida)

Zephyrus, 2013
In this paper we analyze the changes in the way of obtaining lithic raw materials and eating ressources in the Upper Magdalenian and the Epipalaeolithic in El Parco Cave (Alòs de Balaguer, Lleida, Spain).

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

THE LITHIC INDUSTRY OF OBI-RAKHMAT GROTTO, UZBEKISTAN

Bulletin of the Indo-Pacific Prehistory Association, 2007
The analysis of the Obi-Rakhmat archaeological materials provides us with data suggesting a process of gradual transition from the Middle to Upper Paleolithic occurring in western Central Asia. The chronometric dates available for the site indicate that the developmental processes described above occurred prior to 50,000 years ago.

Towards an ‘absolute’ timing of biostratigraphic and environmental phases from the Saalian late glacial to the Weichselian pleniglacial in central Europe—Insights from a lacustrine succession in Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Palynological records are central to the biostratigraphic subdivision of the Late Pleistocene in central Europe. Yet many interglacial and interstadial phases—such as the Eemian, Brörup and Odderade—remain only poorly constrained in time due to limited numerical dating.

Lithic Industry in Khairkhan Cave, Mongolia

Problems 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.

BRINGING BACK FAMILIAR FORMS: RECYCLING QUINA SCRAPERS AT THE LATE LOWER PALAEOLITHIC QESEM CAVE, ISRAEL

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 ...
