Vanuatu in the vanguard: new frontiers in Lapita zooarchaeology

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
This review synthesizes zooarchaeological evidence for Lapita subsistence strategies (c. 3200–2700 BP) across the Southwest Pacific, with particular focus on Vanuatu and the transformative contributions of the Teouma site.

Subsistence patterns of population of the Lower Ob river basin during the Eneolithic (based on faunal remains of the settlement of Gorniy Samotnel-1)

Вестник археологии, антропологии и этнографии, 2017
This article is dedicated to the analysis of faunal remains found at the Eneolithic settlement of Gorniy Samotnel-1. This habitation site has a modeled age spanning from 3060 to 2920 cal. BC, firmly within the Middle Holocene. This site is located on the

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, 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 ...

Disturbance‐Associated Plant Communities in Africa's Largest Alpine Ecosystem: Evidence for Long‐Term Anthropogenic Influence

Applied Vegetation Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, October/December 2026.
This study provides the first integrated evidence of long‐term human impacts in Ethiopia's Bale Mountains, combining modern vegetation transects with sedimentary steroid and bile acid biomarkers. We identified a sharp 200 m settlement edge and reveal sustained anthropogenic influence from the late Pleistocene, with pastoralism intensifying around 6.5 ...

The relationship between form and function of the carnivore mandible

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 9, Page 2487-2506, September 2026.
Abstract Dietary morphology diversified extensively in Carnivoraformes (living Carnivora and their stem relatives) during the Cenozoic (the last 66 million years) as they evolved to capture, handle, and process new animal and plant diets. We used 3D geometric morphometrics, mechanical advantage, and finite element analysis to test the evolutionary ...

Adventive Vertebrates and Historical Ecology in the Pre-Columbian Neotropics

Diversity, 2009
The arrival of Europeans in the Western Hemisphere (ca. AD 1500) is generally used as a convenient reference point for signaling the early appearance of invasive faunas. Although use of this date embraces an implicit belief in benign landscape management

Zooarchaeology of Houses and Middens: Investigating Patterns of Assemblage Composition at Early Inuit Sites Across the North American Arctic

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 5, Page 1130-1142, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT This study examines faunal assemblages from paired semisubterranean houses and middens at 10 Early Inuit sites spanning the North American Arctic (ca. 1200–1500 ce) to evaluate whether local resource bases or other factors primarily structure zooarchaeological variability.

Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 41, Issue 6, Page 896-914, August 2026.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...
