Artists on the edge of the world: An integrated approach to the study of Magdalenian engraved stone plaquettes from Jersey (Channel Islands).

PLoS ONE, 2020
The Upper Palaeolithic is characterised by the appearance of iconographic expressions most often depicting animals, including anthropomorphic forms, and geometric signs.

Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Mapping Palaeolithic Imprints: Spatial Analysis of Hand Stencils in El Castillo Cave (Spain) Through Geomatic Techniques

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present the application of a new quantitative approach to space study in Palaeolithic cave art. Using GIS, we analysed the distribution and position of hand stencils in El Castillo cave to track the gestures and behaviours of Palaeolithic societies.

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).

Modern Fire Safety Protocols in the Archeological Contexts: A New Tool for Studying the Health and Behavioral Effects of Fire Use in Semi‐Closed Spaces

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study evaluates the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, integrated with controlled fire experiments, to investigate combustion processes in semi‐closed spaces. The framework enables systematic modeling of smoke dispersal, particulate transport, and hearth performance under variable morphologies and ventilation ...

Out in the cold? A review of Early Middle Palaeolithic settlements in northern Central Europe, age data and geological preconditions for site formation and preservation

Boreas, EarlyView.
The characteristics of settlement of Neanderthals in northern Central Europe during the earlier phases of the Middle Palaeolithic (Marine Isotope Stage 8–6) have been a matter of debate for decades, specifically regarding the population dynamics at such latitudes during the coldest phases. In this paper, we review the known archaeological record of the

The deep past in the virtual present: developing an interdisciplinary approach towards understanding the psychological foundations of palaeolithic cave art

Scientific Reports, 2023
Virtual Reality (VR) has vast potential for developing systematic, interdisciplinary studies to understand ephemeral behaviours in the archaeological record, such as the emergence and development of visual culture.

Chironomid‐based summer temperature reconstruction of the Eemian–Weichselian transition at Lichtenberg, northern Germany

Boreas, EarlyView.
Understanding the temperature variability of past interglacial cycles is essential to predict future climates. We present a new summer temperature reconstruction, based on the subfossil chironomid record from a small palaeolake adjacent to the Middle Palaeolithic site of Lichtenberg, northern Germany. The record spans from the Saalian late glacial over
