Preliminary Starch Grain Evidence of Ancient Stone Tool Use at the Early Archaic (9,000 B.P.) Site of Sandy Hill, Mashantucket, Connecticut

open access: yesEthnobiology Letters, 2013
Early Archaic subsistence strategies of New England remain poorly understood despite their importance in helping researchers understand how people adapt to changing landscapes following the end of the last glacial maximum (21,000-14,000 B.P ...

Neural Networks and Multivariate Analysis Based on Geochemical Data to Determine Stone Provenance From Ancient Calabrian Quarries (Southern Italy)

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study shows an innovative approach to determine the origin of some Calabrian rocks quarried used in ancient times. Twenty‐five quarries, distributed in all the Calabrian provinces (Southern Italy), were studied and sampled. Ten samples were taken from each quarry, for a total of 250 samples.

Analysis of Lithics from Bone Processing and Lithic Tool Production Units at Woodstock Farm (45WH0055)

open access: yes, 2017
This project analyzes lithics excavated from site 45WH0055, directly on Chuckanut Bay, Bellingham, Washington. The goal of our analysis was to determine if Ian Lewis’ 2013 thesis classification of activity areas was supported by type, quantity, and ...

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.

“ Le Vallier Ouest ”à Mainvilliers (Eure-et-Loir, 28) : indices d’un habitat du Néolithique ancien (Villeneuve-Saint-Germain) entre Loire et Seine

open access: yesRevue Archéologique du Centre de la France, 2010
Despite the delicate context owing to the nature of the substrate and to more recent structures, the excavation site of the Vallier Ouest (Mainvilliers, Eure-et-Loir, France) revealed indications of the presence of a settlement dated from the ancient ...

Butchering technology and metal adoption in the Bronze Age southern Levant: SEM evidence from Tell Aphek, Israel

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Archaeology
Recent zooarchaeological research suggests that the transition from stone to metal butchering tools in the southern Levant occurred during or after the Middle Bronze Age and was accompanied by changes in butchering practices.

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

Lithics Special Volume: Past Lives From Cold Stone: 30 Years Of The Lithic Studies Society [Editorship]

open access: yes, 2020
Taking on the editorship of Lithics in the aftermath of both Great Prehistorians and Rob Hosfield's ruthlessly efficient reign as editor has been something of a baptism of fire!

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

open access: yesBoreas, 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.
