Changes in human calcaneal morphology throughout the Pleistocene-Holocene Levant

Frontiers in Earth Science
The calcaneal morphology changed considerably during human evolution to enable efficient bipedal locomotion. However, little information exists regarding its adaptation to changes in habitual activities following the transition to a sedentary lifestyle ...

The Genetic Variability of Present‐Day Bulgarians Captures Ancient and Recent Ancestral Contributions

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 186, Issue 4, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Thanks to its pivotal crossroad position, Bulgaria played a fundamental key role during all the migration processes that interested the continent through time. While the genetic variability of the country has been deeply investigated using uniparental markers, previous genome‐wide autosomal‐based surveys mainly consisted of wider ...

Archaeobotany of el-Wad Terrace, Mount Carmel (Israel): insights into plant exploitation along the Natufian sequence

, 2023
International audienceThe Epipalaeolithic Natufian Culture (latest Pleistocene Levant, ca. 15,000–11,500 cal bp) represents relatively sedentary and complex foraging societies, but the plant communities near their most intensively occupied hamlets (in ...

A review on applications of fine particles integrated with fluidization technologies

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 103, Issue 4, Page 1474-1493, April 2025.
Abstract Fine particles possess remarkable characteristics including extensive surface‐to‐weight ratios and diverse morphologies. Consequently, through the use of fluidization techniques, they have become favoured in various industrial processes, especially with continuous production.

From Stone to Food: Foodways and Ground Stone Tools During the Natufian and Early Neolithic of Eastern Jordan

Open Archaeology
This study examines the use of ground stone tools in food processing in the Southern Levant during the Late Epipalaeolithic (Natufian) and the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA), analysing tools from the sites Shubayqa 1 and 6, in Northeast Jordan. Employing

The Neolithic Revolution in the Middle East

The Economic History Review, Volume 77, Issue 4, Page 1154-1196, November 2024.
Abstract This paper investigates the causes and the consequences of the emergence of agriculture in the Middle East. Agriculture has emerged in many parts of the world since the end of the last Ice Age about 15 000 years ago. The paper first surveys the Palaeolithic Period to understand why agriculture did not emerge earlier.

Early Neolithic avifaunal remains from southeast Anatolia provide insight into Early Holocene species distributions and long‐term shifts in their range

Ibis, Volume 166, Issue 4, Page 1264-1279, October 2024.
Based on the species‐rich avifaunas from Early Neolithic sites across Upper Mesopotamia (southeast Türkiye, northern Syria, northern Iraq), we compared seven species' Early Holocene distribution patterns with that of their modern species ranges.
