Mapping Palaeolithic Imprints: Spatial Analysis of Hand Stencils in El Castillo Cave (Spain) Through Geomatic Techniques

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 943-959, October 2026.
ABSTRACT We present the application of a new quantitative approach to space study in Palaeolithic cave art. Using GIS, we analysed the distribution and position of hand stencils in El Castillo cave to track the gestures and behaviours of Palaeolithic societies.

Acta Zoologica, Volume 107, Issue 4, Page 409-431, October 2026.
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.

Biogeochemical, sedimentological and dinoflagellate‐based reconstruction of the Holocene palaeoenvironment of the east Limfjord, Denmark

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 1055-1072, October 2026.
To assess how the eastern part of the Limfjord system has changed over the Holocene, relative to the wider Limfjord and western Baltic region, a sedimentary succession spanning c. 9600–150 cal. a BP was collected from Nibe Bredning, near Sebbersund, from a shallow coastal inlet along the eastern connection between the Limfjord and the Kattegat (north ...

Changes in land‐snail communities and steppe environments in the lower Rhône valley during the Lateglacial–Holocene transition

Boreas, Volume 55, Issue 4, Page 1160-1186, October 2026.
Land snail successions in the lower Rhône valley allow us to reconstruct the postglacial recolonization. From the Lateglacial period onwards, Mediterranean steppe communities appeared. The arrival of forest taxa was significantly delayed by aridity. The question of glacial refugia, both local and distant, primarily concerned Mediterranean species of ...

Lifestyle Impacts the Oral Microbiome of Classical and Post‐Classical Societies in Italy

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 191, Issue 1, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Objectives The fall of the Roman Empire (476 CE) profoundly affected the lives of its peoples due to the political, administrative, and territorial changes that occurred. The majority of written records of the time focus on the social élite, leaving larger parts of the population understudied.

From Highlands to Henge: Refining the Provenance and Transport Pathways of Stonehenge's Altar Stone

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 888-895, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Altar Stone, the 6000 kg central sandstone megalith at Stonehenge in southern England, is suggested to have originated from the Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, some 700 km away. However, its source location within this large basin remains unresolved and its mode of transport uncertain.
