The Middle Palaeolithic of Northern France

open access: yes, 2014
The 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

The British Middle Palaeolithic

Quaternary International, 2016
Abstract The British Middle Palaeolithic record can be divided between an early period of occupation (EMP) mainly from late MIS 8 to early MIS 7 characterised by Levallois technology and a late phase of occupation (LMP) in early MIS 3 generally characterised by discoidal technology with flat-butted cordate and bout coupe handaxes.

A Middle Palaeolithic human hyoid bone

Nature, 1989
The origin of human language, and in particular the question of whether or not Neanderthal man was capable of language/speech, is of major interest to anthropologists but remains an area of great controversy. Despite palaeoneurological evidence to the contrary, many researchers hold to the view that Neanderthals were incapable of language/speech ...

Middle Palaeolithic Diets

2016
AbstractThis chapter examines the evidence for diet amongst Middle Palaeolithic foragers in Europe and south-west Asia from c. 300,000 to 40,000 years ago, concentrating on faunal and isotopic approaches. Published faunal evidence shows that Middle Palaeolithic hominins in both regions hunted a relatively narrow range of medium- to large-sized ...

A critique of the Chinese ‘Middle Palaeolithic’

Antiquity, 2002
The 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 ...

Radiocarbon calibration for the Middle/Upper Palaeolithic: a comment

Antiquity, 1999
Recently, 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.

The Lower and Middle Paleolithic

2002
Europe 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 ...
