The lower Palaeolithic record in the Philippines
Quaternary International, 2010The exploration of Palaeolithic sites has a rather long tradition in the Philippines. Commencing with H. Otley Beyer in the 1920s, the systematic study of prehistoric sites and lithic materials has become a major field of Philippine Archaeology. A number of open sites, rockshelters and caves have yielded prehistoric artefacts which can be characterized

The Lower Palaeolithic of Ukraine: Current evidence
Quaternary International, 2010Abstract For almost three decades, the only evidence of stratified and well-documented Lower Palaeolithic in Ukraine was reported for Korolevo, situated west of the Carpathian arch. This locality remains the most important in the country and provides four Lower Palaeolithic assemblages, of which two were recognised below the Brunhes–Matuyama boundary.

The British Lower Palaeolithic
2011Taking as its central theme the issue of whether early Hominins organized themselves into societies as we understand them, John McNabb looks at how modern researchers recognize such archaeological cultures. He examines the existence of a stone tool culture called the Clactonian to introduce the multidisciplinary nature of the subject.

Cognition and communication in the Levantine lower palaeolithic
World Archaeology, 1994Abstract The issue of tracing the mental abilities of prehistoric hominids is overwhelming in its complexity. Not only are there different schools of thought as regards the very feasibility of such an enterprise, but we are also facing difficulties in obtaining relevant data and their interpretation.

The Lower and Middle Paleolithic
2002Europe in the ice age was a very different place than today, or rather, it was many different places. During the vast time period examined in this chapter the continent underwent numerous, dramatic changes in habitat and climate. Studies of these changes have focused on the geological record of river gravels and soil deposition, on the evidence for ...

Estimating temperatures of heated Lower Palaeolithic flint artefacts
Nature Human Behaviour, 2020Production of stone artefacts using pyro-technology is known from the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic of Europe and the Levant, and the Middle Stone Age in Africa. However, determination of temperatures to which flint artefacts were exposed is impeded by the chemical and structural variability of flint.

Maritime navigation in the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic
Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Series IIA - Earth and Planetary Science, 1999Abstract The evidence for Pleistocene maritime colonisations in the Mediterranean and in eastern Asia is reviewed. On present indications, seafating may have begun in Indonesia about a million years ago, leading to the hominid settlement of several islands during the late part of the Early Pleistocene.

2022Drawing on archaeological and geological research, recent finds, museum collections and borehole evidence, this paper describes the changing local landscape and environment round the Cromerian-period Bytham river valley, possibly the major early entry route to Britain from Europe; the succeeding pro-glacial Lake Harrison and present-day post-glacial ...
