The Middle Paleolithic of Murcia [PDF]

Treballs d'Arqueologia, 2008
Hi ha 36 jaciments del paleolític mitjà coneguts a la regió de Múrcia. Els jaciments a l'aire lliure són tots de superfície. Una concentració en els altiplans de Yecla indica que, per al cas del sílex, la variabilitat industrial observada pot explicar-se a través d'un model senzill en el qual el grau de reducció està en funció de la distància a les ...

Y Chromosomes of 40% Chinese Are Descendants of Three Neolithic Super-grandfathers [PDF]

Plos ONE 9(8): e105691 (2014), 2013
Demographic change of human populations is one of the central questions for delving into the past of human beings. To identify major population expansions related to male lineages, we sequenced 78 East Asian Y chromosomes at 3.9 Mbp of the non-recombining region (NRY), discovered >4,000 new SNPs, and identified many new clades.

, 2021
Abstract The throwing capacity of Middle Paleolithic points has been an important issue since the discovery of the Neanderthal’s toolbox. Homos (Neanderthals or H. sapiens) made thrusting points with limited or no throwing capability in the Middle Paleolithic.

Geoarchaeological characterisation of a Younger Dryas site in the Alpine uplands: Cornafessa rock shelter (Italy)

Geoarchaeology, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 35-56, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract The effects of the Younger Dryas (YD) fluctuation on Late Pleistocene hunter‐gatherers' settlement and subsistence systems in the southern Alps are poorly known. This is primarily due to the scarcity of archaeological sites dating from the YD, in contrast with the extensive evidence available from the lateglacial interstadial and the early ...

Coherent changes in wood charcoals, site occupation and lithic technology across the MIS 4/3 transition at Klein Kliphuis rock shelter, South Africa

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 38-48, January 2023., 2023
Abstract We explore the correspondence between changing palaeoenvironments, patterns of site use, and lithic technology at the rock shelter site Klein Kliphuis (South Africa) across the interval 65–55 000 years before present. This period coincides with the termination of Marine Isotope Stage (MIS) 4, and the disappearance of an iconic late Pleistocene
