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

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
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 ...

Repeated Pleistocene Permafrost Episodes in the Western Pannonian Basin

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Concerning the study of past periglacial processes, the Pannonian Basin is a key area as it contains the southernmost frost polygons found in Central Europe. The presence or absence of permafrost is still, however, a matter of debate, and data on the timing of frost action are also scarce.

Luminescence analysis of a postglacial landscape in northeastern Norway and northern Finland

Boreas
Portable optically stimulated luminescence (pOSL) analysis allows rapid relative dating of sediments that potentially can be calibrated against known OSL ages to provide an age estimate for landforms across a large area.

4th and 5th seasons of the Nubian Expedition of the Anuchin Research Institute and Museum of Anthropology, Lomonosov Moscow State University at the Sites of Deraheib and Onib (the Republic of Sudan). Part I. Survey of the Stone Age Sites at the Onib Depression

Вестник Московского Университета. Серия XXIII: Антропология, 2023
Introduction. The Nubian expedition of the Lomonosov MSU carried out survey in the Onib Depression in December 2022. The survey revealed several surface scatters and two stone age sites Onib-1 and Onib-Outcrop. Materials and methods.

Safelight for OSL dating laboratories: a follow-up study

Ancient TL, 2021
We introduce a new lamp for use in optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating laboratories. The lamp is based on an LED with the peak emission wavelength at 594 nm that was previously characterised as safe for both samples and operators by Sohbati et al. (2017). We demonstrate that 48 h exposure to this lamp, delivering a power density of 0.2 µW.cm-

A reappraisal of the Middle to Later Stone Age prehistory of Morocco Réévaluer la préhistoire du Maroc, du Middle Stone Age au Later Stone Age

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Over the last 25 years, perceptions of the early prehistory of Northwest Africa have undergone radical changes due to new fieldwork projects and a corresponding growth in scientific interest in the region. Much of this work has been focused in Morocco, known for its extremely rich fossil and archaeological records in caves and rock shelters.

Exploring the relationships between Electron Spin Resonance (ESR)/Luminescence (OSL/TL) properties and trace element composition from quartz in various bedrocks (Strengbach catchment, Vosges) [PDF]

Geochronology
Quartz Thermoluminescence (TL), Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) and Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) offer valuable quantitative tools both for understanding sediment provenance and surface processes.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

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).

Recurrent partial resetting of quartz OSL signal by earthquakes: a thermochronological study on fault gouges from the Atotsugawa Fault, Japan

Earth, Planets and Space
Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating utilises the detection of trapped charge in minerals, and has an ultralow closure temperature. There is the potential for direct dating of fault movement using fault gouges, because frictional heating caused
