Exploitation of radiolarites at the Milovice I Gravettian site

Archeologické Rozhledy
The lithic assemblage from the Gravettian site at Milovice I was predominantly composed of radiolarite. To reconstruct the mobility patterns of the Gravettian population, we addressed the question of whether the radiolarites were imported from the ...

The Early Upper Palaeolithic open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg, Germany, in the context of the northern central European Aurignacian

Boreas, EarlyView.
Our knowledge of the Early Upper Palaeolithic occupation in northern central Europe is very limited, and recent research at the open‐air site of Friedrichsdorf‐Seulberg in Hesse, Germany, provides important new information on the Aurignacian. The site is rather small (26.5 m2) and spatial analysis identified a central hearth with two associated ...

A bifacial paradise—The site of Ochtmissen, Germany, and its lithic assemblage in the context of the last glacial (early MIS 4) in the north‐central European Lowland

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Palaeolithic site of Ochtmissen (Lower Saxony, Germany) was excavated in fluvial terrace deposits during the winter of 1993/1994. The current study presents, for the first time, a thorough analysis of the lithic assemblage, encompassing its primary technological and typological characteristics, as well as the type and age of the fluvial deposits ...

Lithic technology of an Itaparica industry archaeological site: the Gruta das Araras rockshelter, Midwest of Brazil

, 2016
The Itaparica tradition is a lithic industry largely known with evidences of its presence in sites all over Brazil’s Central Plateau. Its main characteristic is the overwhelming presence of unifacially retouched artifacts (limaces) in these sites during ...

Ariadnema polymorpha gen. et sp. nov. (Scytonemataceae, Cyanobacteria): A new heterocytous cyanobacterium with true and false branching from ruins in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract A novel heterocytous Cyanobacterium, Ariadnema polymorpha gen. et sp. nov., was observed in the northern Brazilian Atlantic Forest (BAF), a globally significant biodiversity hotspot that has microbiome diversity yet to be explored. Isolated from ancient sugarcane mill ruins within the BAF, the new genus (strain CCAPE130) exhibits a unique ...

Inferential communication: The primacy of external representations

Mind &Language, EarlyView.
We argue that intentionalist accounts of ostensive‐inferential communication fail to adequately explain the role of external representations in human communication. We propose that the contents of a specific form of representational communication, symbolic depictions via spatio‐temporal arrangements of objects, can be inferred without attributing ...

Alternative approaches to dryland reclamation enhance vegetation cover and soil stability at a former uranium mine

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Conventional reclamation methods to recover dryland ecosystems after mineral extraction often have low success. Alternative reclamation techniques may help overcome the many challenges to establishing persistent native vegetation and stable soils.

Re-thinking the evolution of microblade technology in East Asia: Techno-functional understanding of the lithic assemblage from Shizitan 29 (Shanxi, China)

PLoS ONE, 2019
The lithic assemblage from Shizitan 29, a late Upper Paleolithic open-air site in Shanxi, China, provides evidence for the earliest, well-dated microblade production in East Asia, ca. 26/24 Ka cal BP.

Evidence for the continental origin of Pliocene deposits in the central Baja California peninsula, Mexico, and implications for controls on biodiversity

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Previous studies have documented genetic divergence within the last few million years between northern and southern populations of terrestrial plants and animals along the Baja California peninsula, with many studies hypothesising that the divergence is due to an ancient seaway that crossed the central peninsula and created a physical barrier ...
