Biometric Analysis of Giant and Large Murid Remains From Matja Kuru 2, Timor‐Leste

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Published research on Matja Kuru 2 (MK2) demonstrates its significance for understanding human lifestyle during the terminal Pleistocene and Holocene. Murids represent the most commonly identified taxa in the site, with specimens preliminarily classified as small, large and giant based on size comparisons.

Application of Multi‐Method Dating for Understanding the Gravettian North of Moravia, Central Europe

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article presents the results of integrating three methods to assess the age of the Upper Palaeolithic site of Pietraszyn 11 (SW Poland), close to the Moravian Gate. Sediment chronology determined using optically stimulated luminescence produced promising, yet ambiguous results (51.0 ± 3.7 to 20.3 ± 0.7 ka).

Investigating the Dietary, Economic, and Social Practices of a Neolithic Funnel Beaker Community in Wanna, Germany, Through Raw Material and Organic Residue Analyses of Pottery

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study details the analysis of an assemblage of Funnel Beaker pottery from Wanna in Northern Germany investigated using petrographic, geochemical, and organic residue analyses. The analyses revealed specialized production of pottery vessels for funerary contexts, but that domestic and funerary pottery were used intensively to process ...

Morphometric and Paleobiological Insights Into Pleistocene Sicilian Wolf Populations

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
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.
