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.

Inland Ertebølle Culture: the importance of aquatic resources and the freshwater reservoir effect in radiocarbon dates from pottery food crusts

Internet Archaeology, 2014
The Ertebølle culture is a late Mesolithic hunter-gatherer-fisher culture in southern Scandinavia, northern Germany and Poland. Archaeological finds as well as scientific analyses of humans and their artefacts indicate the great importance of aquatic ...

Stratigraphy and chronology of a 15ka sequence of multi-sourced silicic tephras in a montane peat bog, eastern North Island, New Zealand. [PDF]

, 1999
We document the stratigraphy, composition, and chronology of a succession of 16 distal, silicic tephra layers interbedded with lateglacial and Holocene peats and muds up to c. 15 000 radiocarbon years (c.

The Early Upper Palaeolithic in British caves: problems and potential Le Paléolithique supérieur ancien dans les grottes de Grande‐Bretagne : problèmes et potentiels

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Recent years have seen landmark progress in our understanding of early Homo sapiens occupation of Europe, owing to new excavations and the application of new analytical methods. Research on British sites, however, continues to lag. This is because of limitations inherent in existing cave collections, and limited options for new fieldwork at known sites.

Pattern of extinction of the woolly mammoth in Beringia. [PDF]

, 2012
Extinction of the woolly mammoth in Beringia has long been subject to research and speculation. Here we use a new geo-referenced database of radiocarbon-dated evidence to show that mammoths were abundant in the open-habitat of Marine Isotope Stage 3 (∼45-

125 years of exploration and research at Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK) 125 ans d'exploration et de recherches à Gough's Cave (Somerset, Royaume‐Uni)

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Our understanding of the recolonization of northwest Europe in the period leading up to the Lateglacial Interstadial relies heavily on discoveries from Gough's Cave (Somerset, UK). Gough's Cave is the richest Late Upper Palaeolithic site in the British Isles, yielding an exceptional array of human remains, stone and organic artefacts, and butchered ...

Improving the 14c dating of marine shells from the Canary Islands for constructing more reliable and accurate chronologies [PDF]

, 2012
Radiocarbon dating of closely associated marine mollusk shells and terrestrial material (charred wood or bone) collected from archaeological contexts on Tenerife and Fuerteventura islands allowed us to quantify the marine C-14 reservoir effect (Delta R ...

Errors in Radiocarbon Age Determination and Correction of Radiocarbon Dates

The Quaternary Research (Daiyonki-Kenkyu), 1967
The errors in radiocarbon age determination on the wood samples are estimated from the possible variations in the concentration of radiocarbon in the atmosphere. Recent results of measurements on the secular variation of the atmospheric 14C are presented and compared in order to find a general variation.

And then there was us Et puis nous sommes apparus

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
In 1987, the academic conference ‘Origins and Dispersals of Modern Humans: Behavioural and Biological Perspectives’ was held in Cambridge, UK. Subsequently referred to as the ‘Human Revolution’ conference, this meeting brought together the most prominent academics working in the field of human origins, including archaeologists and palaeoanthropologists,
