Light, Human Evolution, and the Palaeolithic [PDF]
, 2017 Human light-producing technology (i.e. the controlled use of fire) evolved during the Palaeolithic. Among its more obvious advantages to survival (heat, cooking, protection), fire-provided light in the form of hearths and lamps probably had considerable ...

Population Genomics Insights into Pharmacogenomic Differentiation Between East Asians and Europeans
Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 2, Page 510-519, August 2026.Genetic variation contributes substantially to interindividual and interpopulation differences in drug response, yet most pharmacogenomic studies remain biased toward European populations. Here, we systematically assessed pharmacogenomic variation across East Asians (EAS) and Europeans (EUR) using public genomic datasets and investigated the potential ...

Route planning in the palaeolithic [PDF]
, 2013 A systematic survey of the western fringes of the al-Дajar mountains to the south of Sharjah Emirate, by the PADMAC Unit during 2011, led to the discovery of ten Palaeolithic surface-sites/scatters in an area crossed at several points by the United ...

Form and Function in the Lower Palaeolithic [PDF]
, 2015 The causes of morphological variation within Lower Palaeolithic stone tool assemblages have been subject to debate for decades. As a result of numerous explanatory hypotheses, it forms one of the most substantial areas of research within Palaeolithic ...

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 4, Page 674-686, August 2026.ABSTRACT Investigating why hominins adopted particular flake technologies during the Mid‐to‐Late Pleistocene is essential to understanding patterns of lithic innovation. This period witnessed the emergence of Levallois technologies (~350–250 ka) and later blades, each “replacing” earlier forms.

The Palaeolithic in Southern China [PDF]
, 1992 Palaeolithic sites discovered in southern China in the last 20 years document the human occupation of this region through the Pleistocene. Tool inventories from localities south of33°N latitude and east of the eastern margin of the Tibetan Plateau have ...

Oxford Journal of Archaeology, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 250-277, August 2026.Summary This study presents a technological analysis of 18 old patinated scrapers and spalls, mostly of Quina technology, that were recycled into new scrapers of the same type at the Late Lower Palaeolithic site of Qesem Cave, Israel (420–200 kyr). Recycling scrapers into the same Quina and demi‐Quina types offers a rare, controlled opportunity to ...

Sedimentology, Volume 73, Issue 5, Page 1722-1749, August 2026.ABSTRACT Deciphering sediment provenance is essential to understand depositional patterns and dynamics. This question is particularly important in archaeological contexts to constrain the sedimentological history of unearthed material—an information critically needed, for example, to estimate the age of the deposits—or to apprehend sediment movement ...
