The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis
Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, Volume 37, Issue 1, Page 317-355, November 2026.ABSTRACT
While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.Elora Chambraud, Hervé Monchot, Vladimir Dabrowski, Charlène Bouchaud, Jérémie Schiettecatte +4 morewiley +1 more sourceIntegrating 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, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1125-1140, October 2026.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 ...Pauline Raymond, Jean‐Jacques Hublin, Karen Ruebens, Geoff M.

Archaeometry, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 898-907, October 2026.ABSTRACT
In 1837, the Tyrolean State Museum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck, Austria, purchased a Roman bronze statue of a maenad from the 2nd century ce with red garnets as facetted eye inlays found near Brixen, Southern Tyrol. These garnets were investigated using optical microscopy, a portable hand‐held and a stationary micro‐X‐ray fluorescence device, as H.

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 10, October 2026.ABSTRACT Background
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) is an autoimmune cholangiopathy with polygenic architecture and unknown aetiology. Evidence links Neanderthal‐derived genetic variants to autoimmune conditions; however, their contribution to PBC susceptibility remains unexplored.Alessio Gerussi, Chiara Caime, Harold Wang, Heather J.

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 10, Page 5372-5391, October 2026.ABSTRACT
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L., 2n = 26) is one of the oldest oilseed crops and is often called the ‘queen of oilseeds’ due to its high content of unsaturated fatty acids and natural antioxidants. Despite its long history, the origin and global spread of cultivated sesame remain unresolved.Weifei Yang, Hengchun Cao, Hui Guo, Hongmei Miao, Guiting Li, Yinghui Duan, Ming Ju, Qiuzhen Tian, Qin Ma, Pengjie Chang, Zhanyou Zhang, Cong Mu, Xiaoxu Feng, Libin Wei, Weixiu Hou, Andrew H.
