Neolithic settlement dynamics derived from archaeological data and colluvial deposits between the Baar region and the adjacent low mountain ranges, southwest Germany [PDF]

Eiszeitalter und Gegenwart, 2019
The present study combines archaeological data with archaeopedological data from colluvial deposits to infer Neolithic settlement dynamics between the Baar region, the Black Forest and the Swabian Jura.

Atypical Long Barrows in the Cöeby Neolithic Cemetery (Trédion, Morbihan, France)? The Contribution of Electrical Surveys

Archaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Coëby Neolithic cemetery, located in the commune of Trédion (Morbihan, France) and discovered in 1986, has been for several years the subject of a research programme focused on studying the various megalithic structures present. The spatial distribution of these remains highlights an unusual occupation of the territory, organized according

Integrating ZooMS and taphonomy further highlights differential processing of animal and Neandertal carcasses in the Quina Mousterian at Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, southwest France)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cave of Les Pradelles (Marillac‐le‐Franc, France) was repeatedly visited by Neandertals ~55 000 years ago and is a key site in discussions of Neandertal cannibalism. Excavations between 1967 and 1980 (Vandermeersch) and between 2001 and 2013 (Maureille/Mann) produced a rich faunal assemblage (>20 000 bones), alongside Quina Mousterian ...

Modeling the Neolithic Transition in Europe. Archaeobotanical Aspect of the Expansion of Neolithic Population in Europe. [PDF]

, 2013
Whether or not the spread of agriculture in Europe was accompanied by movements of people is a long-standing question in archaeology and anthropology, which has been frequently addressed with the help of population genetic data.

Holocene vegetation change and fire–plant diversity shifts in Mediterranean France

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Changes in fire activity are recognized as a major threat to biodiversity and vegetation communities across the Mediterranean Basin. However, long‐term fire–vegetation interactions remain poorly investigated. Here, we combine a high‐resolution charcoal record with pollen data from the “Étang des Aulnes” lake (southern France) to reconstruct ...

‘The most advanced outpost of cultivation’: palynological evidence for cereal agriculture and population resilience in a marginal upland environment

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Upland farming in Europe is frequently assumed to have been limited and precarious, despite relict spade‐dug ridges providing firm evidence of past crop growing. Direct evidence for crop types in post‑Medieval to Modern (~since 1500 CE) uplands is rare; yet, in Ireland, relict spade‐dug ridges that date to this period are commonly interpreted ...

Ancient mitochondrial diversity reveals population homogeneity in Neolithic Greece and identifies population dynamics along the Danubian expansion axis

Scientific Reports, 2022
The aim of the study is to investigate mitochondrial diversity in Neolithic Greece and its relation to hunter-gatherers and farmers who populated the Danubian Neolithic expansion axis.

Hunting Strategies and Game Exploitation Organization in the Magdalenian: An Integrated Approach Based on Mortality Profiles and Stable Isotopes at Chaves Cave (Huesca, Spain)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Understanding hunting strategies in Upper Paleolithic contexts remains challenging due to the complex relationships between prey behavior, environmental conditions, and human decision‐making. Addressing these dynamics requires integrating archeozoological, geospatial, and geochemical proxies capable of capturing demographic patterns, landscape
