Selection and Use of Manganese Dioxide by Neanderthals
Several Mousterian sites in France have yielded large numbers of small black blocs. The usual interpretation is that these 'manganese oxides' were collected for their colouring properties and used in body decoration, potentially for symbolic expression. Neanderthals habitually used fire and if they needed black material for decoration, soot and charcoal were readily available, whereas obtaining...
متن کاملEarliest Known Use of Marine Resources by Neanderthals
Numerous studies along the northern Mediterranean borderland have documented the use of shellfish by Neanderthals but none of these finds are prior to Marine Isotopic Stage 3 (MIS 3). In this paper we present evidence that gathering and consumption of mollusks can now be traced back to the lowest level of the archaeological sequence at Bajondillo Cave (Málaga, Spain), dated during the MIS 6. Th...
متن کاملPresumed Symbolic Use of Diurnal Raptors by Neanderthals
In Africa and western Eurasia, occurrences of burials and utilized ocher fragments during the late Middle and early Late Pleistocene are often considered evidence for the emergence of symbolically-mediated behavior. Perhaps less controversial for the study of human cognitive evolution are finds of marine shell beads and complex designs on organic and mineral artifacts in early modern human (EMH...
متن کاملSynthesis of Polythiophene/Manganese Dioxide Nanocomposites by In-situ Core-shell Polymerization Method and Study of their Physical Properties
The present research work describes an efficient method for facile synthesis of α-MnO2 nanorods by hydrothermal method and preparation of a series of polythiophene/manganese dioxide (PTh/MnO2) nanocomposites with various α-MnO2 ratios. These nanocomposites were fabricated by in-situ oxidative polymerization method using FeCl3 as oxidant, and characterized by Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR)...
متن کاملOxidative Transformation of Controlled Substances by Manganese Dioxide
This study investigated the oxidative transformation of four controlled substances (ketamine, methamphetamine, morphine, and codeine) by synthesized MnO2 (δ-MnO2) in aqueous environments. The results indicated that ketamine and methamphetamine were negligibly oxidized by MnO2 and, thus, may be persistent in the aqueous environment. However, morphine and codeine were able to be oxidized by MnO2,...
