First high resolution chronostratigraphy for the early North African Acheulean at Casablanca (Morocco)

Scientific Reports, 2021
The onset of the Acheulean, marked by the emergence of large cutting tools (LCTs), is considered a major technological advance in the Early Stone Age and a key turning point in human evolution.

Dating the Middle Palaeolithic of Fumane Cave by the combined ESR/U‐series method

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 5, Page 862-875, July 2025.
ABSTRACT Fumane Cave, located in Northern Italy, is a major prehistoric site for understanding late Neandertal and early modern human behaviours. The cave contains a 12‐m‐thick stratigraphic sequence of Middle and Upper Palaeolithic layers, which have yielded a number of flint artefacts and faunal remains.

Pollen-based paleoenvironmental and paleoclimatic change at Lake Ohrid (south-eastern Europe) during the past 500 ka [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2016
Lake Ohrid is located at the border between FYROM (Former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia) and Albania and formed during the latest phases of Alpine orogenesis. It is the deepest, the largest and the oldest tectonic lake in Europe. To better understand

Expression of Nonmetric Dental Traits in Western European Neanderthals

Dental Anthropology, 2017
Neanderthals of Western Europe lived across distinct ecogeographic zones from Marine Isotope Stage 7 to 3. Differences in dental morphology from seven Western European sites are compared in terms of ecogeography and chronology.

Double Teeth and Coexistent Anomalies: Examples From Continental Africa

American Journal of Human Biology, Volume 36, Issue 11, November 2024.
ABSTRACT Objectives Whether gemination or fusion, double teeth are rare worldwide, including Africa based on few published data. New cases from the continent are tallied, and anomalies potentially associated with double teeth are identified. These findings should interest a range of dental researchers.

A user‐friendly method to get automated pollen analysis from environmental samples

New Phytologist, Volume 243, Issue 2, Page 797-810, July 2024.
Summary Automated pollen analysis is not yet efficient on environmental samples containing many pollen taxa and debris, which are typical in most pollen‐based studies. Contrary to classification, detection remains overlooked although it is the first step from which errors can propagate.

Quantifying hominin morphological diversity at the end of the middle Pleistocene: Implications for the origin of Homo sapiens

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 184, Issue 2, June 2024.
Map of the sites where the Middle Pleistocene hominin fossils of the study sample have been recovered. Bar plots represent the proportion of classification of each specimen in the different groups of the comparative sample. Abstract Objectives The Middle Pleistocene (MP) saw the emergence of new species of hominins: Homo sapiens in Africa, H ...

Investigating temporal bone variation of colonial populations from St‐Lawrence Valley, Quebec: A 3D geometric morphometric approach

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 183, Issue 2, February 2024.
Map of Quebec province with the locations of each cemetery (timeline in dark grey are Catholics of French descent and in light grey Protestants of British descent). The settlement areas are represented by three key periods: (i) the first waves of French migration (1608–1760), (ii) the British conquest (1761–1850); and (iii) the industrial era (1851 ...

Petrographic and Size Analysis of Lithic Artifacts of Loreto (Early Middle Pleistocene, Basilicata, Italy) to Support Insight on the Site Lithic Industry and Human Behavior

Heritage
The Lower Paleolithic site of Loreto (Venosa Basin, Basilicata, Southern Italy), discovered in 1929 and excavated from 1956 to 1961 and from 1974 to 1981, consists of three main archaeological layers showing evidence of human occupation. The bottom layer
