A critique of the Chinese ‘Middle Palaeolithic’
Antiquity, 2002The Chinese Palaeolithic has traditionally been divided into three distinct cultural periods: Lower, Middle, and Upper. Analysis of four stone tool criteria (raw material procurement, core reduction, retouch, and typology) to determine if a distinct Middle Palaeolithic stage existed in China suggests that very little change occurred in lithic ...

Middle Palaeolithic and Early Upper Palaeolithic Subsistence Practices at Vindija Cave, Croatia.
2006Vindija Cave contains important Middle and Early Upper Palaeolithic lithic and faunal assemblages associated with remains of Neandertals that span the period from ca. 45 – 25 ka. The association in level G1 of Neandertal remains (directly radiocarbon dated to ca. 29 ka) and Early Upper Palaeolithic artifacts (e.g.

Radiocarbon calibration for the Middle/Upper Palaeolithic: a comment
Antiquity, 1999Recently, ANTIQUITY published a new 14C calibration curve covering the last 45,000 years (van Andel 1998). This reply challenges the curve, suggesting it is too simple, and that there is need for caution in applying new datasets for the purposes of prehistoric and environmental calibration.

Middle palaeolithic hunting economies in the Rhineland
International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 2000Until the 1980s, archaeologists routinely assumed that faunal material found in association with Middle Palaeolithic artifacts represented the remains of animals hunted by Neanderthals. Over the last two decades, most researchers have come to the conclusion that diverse anthropogenic and non-anthropogenic agents can lead to the co-occurrence of lithic ...

The Middle Palaeolithic of Northern France
2014The Middle Palaeolithic begins around 300 ky ago, and ends around 40 ky. During more than 250 ky, the whole Europe was occupied by Neandertalpopulations, which were characterized by very weak density and demography. The aim of the communication is to focus on the identities of the different cultural groups peopling northern France and to try to discern

Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Leicestershire and Rutland
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 ...

The cultures of the Middle Palaeolithic/Middle Stone Age
1982The 'Middle Palaeolithic', or the 'Middle Stone Age', is part of the prehistoric cultural record that follows the Lower Palaeolithic or Earlier Stone Age, and precedes the Upper Palaeolithic or Later Stone Age. The Middle Palaeolithic/Middle Stone Age makes its first appearance more than 100000 years ago during the Last Interglacial, in Africa a time ...

British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Handaxe Groups
Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society, 1969In the Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society for 1964, the writer presented (Roe, 1964) an interim report on his programme of research on the British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic material, describing methods of studying assemblages of handaxes by metrical and statistical analysis, and outlining the first results obtained.

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 ...
