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

open access: yesArchaeometry, 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 ...

Technological systems and style: the implications of this interrelationship in the study of lithic industries of southern Brazil.

open access: yesRevista do Museu de Arqueologia e Etnologia, 2001
Starting from the evaluation of the concepts of technological system and style, we will analyze the notion of technological style and its implications in the study of lithic industries.

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.

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

open access: yesBoreas, 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

Homo luzonensis and the role of homoplasy in the morphology of hominin insular species

open access: yesCladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Homo luzonensis lived during the upper Pleistocene in the northern Philippines, east of the Wallace line. The few specimens attributed to this species show a mosaic of plesiomorphies for the genus Homo and apomorphies found in upper Pleistocene Homo species.

Effects of nitrogen fertilizer rate on dry matter yield, nutritive values and nitrate nitrogen of Guineagrass (Panicum maximum Jacq.) extremely late cultivar “Umaku” as a summer annual grass in a warm temperate zone

open access: yesGrassland Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Cultivation as a summer annual grass in temperate regions of new extremely late‐maturing guineagrass cultivar “Umaku” without heading with fertilizer application entails risks of toxic nitrate nitrogen (nitrate‐N) concentration in the grass.
