New research on the Middle Paleolithic of the Middle Prut Basin

Materiale și Cercetări Arheologice, 2021
In 2015– 2017 the Prut-Dniester expedition from the Institute for the History of Material Culture of the Russian Academy of Sciences carried out field research at a number of Paleolithic localities in the middle reaches of the Prut and Dniester in the north-west of Moldova.

The Origins of Fashion

Evolutionary Anthropology: Issues, News, and Reviews, Volume 35, Issue 3, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper reconceptualizes fashion as a deep‐time system of bodily communication rather than a byproduct of modern consumer societies. We define fashion as a socially transmitted system of bodily display in which patterned variation occurs within shared conventions of appearance.

Stone tool use as an adaptive technology: A meta-analysis of functional estimates on use-wear traces from early, middle, and late Upper Paleolithic industries in the northeastern Japanese Archipelago

Quaternary Environments and Humans
Since the 1980s, the development of experimental traceological studies has enabled archaeologists to estimate the intended use of Paleolithic stone tools whose functions were unclear.

Population Genomics Insights into Pharmacogenomic Differentiation Between East Asians and Europeans

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 510-519, August 2026.
Genetic variation contributes substantially to interindividual and interpopulation differences in drug response, yet most pharmacogenomic studies remain biased toward European populations. Here, we systematically assessed pharmacogenomic variation across East Asians (EAS) and Europeans (EUR) using public genomic datasets and investigated the potential ...

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Mobility and Settlement Pattern of Middle Paleolithic Assemblage in Hatay

Ankara Üniversitesi Dil ve Tarih-Coğrafya Fakültesi Dergisi, 2017
With the increasing ethnological research, many models are created about hunter-gatherers in lifestyles and daily activities. From the beginning of the 1980s, these models were applied on prehistoric communities.

Edge Sharpness Does Not Vary Between Palaeolithic Flake Technologies, With the Possible Exception of Levallois Débitage

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 674-686, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Investigating why hominins adopted particular flake technologies during the Mid‐to‐Late Pleistocene is essential to understanding patterns of lithic innovation. This period witnessed the emergence of Levallois technologies (~350–250 ka) and later blades, each “replacing” earlier forms.

The Impact of Climate Change and Human Habitation on Long‐Term Ecological Stability

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Direct human impacts and climate change jeopardise the stability of ecological systems. Recent trends are built atop a long history of vegetation change from the Pleistocene deglaciation and Holocene human population expansion. We aimed to model a long‐term measure of ecological stability over the last 20,000 years, a period that includes ...

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

Oxford 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). Recycling scrapers into the same Quina and demi‐Quina types offers a rare, controlled opportunity to ...
