Occupation and management of Bergerac territory between 250 and 35 Kans: testing a techno-economic overview

Gallia Préhistoire, 2023
. In this work, we propose to examine human activities from 72 occupations within a well-defined territory, the Bergeracois, during the Pleistocene between 250 and 35 ka. The study is based on bibliographical data stemming from programmed excavations and

Stone tool use as an adaptive technology: A meta-analysis of functional estimates on use-wear traces from early, middle, and late Upper Paleolithic industries in the northeastern Japanese Archipelago

Quaternary Environments and Humans
Since the 1980s, the development of experimental traceological studies has enabled archaeologists to estimate the intended use of Paleolithic stone tools whose functions were unclear.

Pleistocene hunter-gatherer coastal adaptations in Atlantic Iberia

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022
Coastal prehistoric hunter-gatherers in Atlantic Iberia were particularly important to understanding Paleolithic human innovation and resilience. This study will focus on Middle and Upper Paleolithic adaptations to the Iberian Atlantic border.

New techniques for old bones: Morphometric and diffeomorphometric analysis of the bony labyrinth of the Reilingen and Ehringsdorf Neandertals

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Neandertals are known to possess very distinctive traits in their bony labyrinth morphology, such as an inferiorly positioned posterior canal and a very low number of turns in the cochlea. Hence, the inner ear has been often used to assess the Neandertal status of fragmentary fossils.

The decorative practice based on natural forms in the Paleolithic of the Urals

Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2018
In recent years, archaeologists have found objects of decorative activity based on natural forms of bone and stone which were manufactured by men in the Ural-Volga region at the Upper Paleolithic monuments in the Kama area (Shirovanovo site), in the ...

Dating the landscape evolution around the Chauvet-Pont d’Arc cave

Scientific Reports, 2021
The Chauvet cave (UNESCO World Heritage site, France) is located in the Ardèche Gorge, a unique physical and cultural landscape. Its setting within the gorge—overlooking a meander cutoff containing a natural arch called the Pont d’Arc—is also remarkable.

Building phenotypic character matrices for phylogenetic inference: exploration of 35 years of practice

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recent methodological development in phylogenetic inference has focused predominantly on molecular data. However, renewed interest in other data types, particularly morphological data, has followed from the increased recognition of the power of total evidence and tip‐dating approaches, including fossil data, for inference of time‐scaled trees ...

L’ours au Paléolithique. Des études orientées ?

Archéopages, 2010
Archaeological deposits containing the remains of bears are frequent in Europe. Most of them are in caves where the animals hibernated however sites specific to brown bears, which are less common, are not always in caves.

Integrating 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, EarlyView.
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 ...
