BRINGING BACK FAMILIAR FORMS: RECYCLING QUINA SCRAPERS AT THE LATE LOWER PALAEOLITHIC QESEM CAVE, ISRAEL

open access: yesOxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 250-277, August 2026.
Summary This study presents a technological analysis of 18 old patinated scrapers and spalls, mostly of Quina technology, that were recycled into new scrapers of the same type at the Late Lower Palaeolithic site of Qesem Cave, Israel (420–200 kyr).

Mid‐infrared spectroscopy applied to a multi‐level cave system (Montmaurin, SW France): An innovative method for assessing sediment provenance

open access: yesSedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1722-1749, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...

Les changements climatiques du Paléolithique Supérieur. Enquête sur le rapport entre Paléoclimatologie et Préhistoire

open access: yesZephyrus, 2009
: This article discusses the contribution of sedimentology, palynology and palaeontology from archaeological sequences in caves to palaeoclimatic reconstruction. The chronoclimatic framework traditionally accepted for the upper Palaeolithic is questioned.
