Dating of the Upper Pleistocene Lithic Industry of Sardinia [PDF]

Radiocarbon, 1989
During an excavation of 1986 and 1987, a joint team from Utrecht, Siena and the Soprintendenza di Sassari e Nuoro, found a pre-Neolithic lithic industry in Corbeddu Cave, Oliena, Sardinia, which was dated to 8000–17,000 bp. The artifact typology is different from that of the mainland of the same period.

Edge Sharpness Does Not Vary Between Palaeolithic Flake Technologies, With the Possible Exception of Levallois Débitage

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
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.

What Do Lithics Tell Us About Cultural Evolution? Insights From the Central African Record

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While Western historical narratives often incorporate a biased vision of human evolution—driven by a progressive view tied to a progressively evolving state of culture—this paper proposes combining archaeological lithic data with epistemological reflections to critique the modern regime of historicity, where progress is assumed as rational ...

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.

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.
