Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Ornamental Traditions in the Eastern Adriatic Coast and Hinterland.

چکیده
Archaeological finds of personal ornaments reveal not only behavioural patterns of the society they belong to, but also their forms of manifestations indicate connections, contacts and communication paths, exchange networks and movements of prehistoric populations. This paper advances the current knowledge regarding ornamental traditions in Eastern Adriatic area during Late Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic periods. Thirteen prehistoric sites from this area have yielded more than thousand finds of ornamental assemblage, making Eastern Adriatic coast and hinterland fruitful area for the research of this type of archaeological assemblage. Results of the analysis have shown existence of diachronic changes in the selection of raw materials from Upper Palaeolithic to Mesolithic period. Personal ornaments are less abundant during Upper Palaeolithic, but are typologically diverse compared to Mesolithic period when the selectivity of the raw material with the large increase of the number of finds is present.

Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Buckinghamshire 38,000-4000 Bc
Archaeological investigations in Buckinghamshire have to date had little impact nationally on understanding of the Upper Palaeolithic or Mesolithic. Such evidence as there is comes principally from sites associated with watercourses. There has been one preliminary investigation of a late Upper Palaeolithic site and only a few relatively small-scale investigations on sites of Mesolithic date. No...

In the northern Adriatic regions, which include the Venetian region and the Dalmatian coast, late Neanderthal settlements are recorded in few sites and even more ephemeral are remains of the Mid-Upper Palaeolithic occupations. A contribution to reconstruct the human presence during this time range has been produced from a recently investigated cave, Rio Secco, located in the northern Adriatic r...
متن کاملEast Midlands Archaeological Research Framework: Resource Assessment of Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Nottinghamshire
There are some 70 records which refer to Palaeolithic and Mesolithic material in the Nottinghamshire Sites and Monuments Record (figs 1 and 2). Little of this has come from formal excavation, the caves at Creswell Crags, and the Mesolithic site at Misterton being the principal examples. Acheulian and Mousterian hand axes and flakes are recorded in some quantity from the gravels of the 1 (Beesto...
متن کاملUpper Palaeolithic genomes reveal deep roots of modern Eurasians
We extend the scope of European palaeogenomics by sequencing the genomes of Late Upper Palaeolithic (13,300 years old, 1.4-fold coverage) and Mesolithic (9,700 years old, 15.4-fold) males from western Georgia in the Caucasus and a Late Upper Palaeolithic (13,700 years old, 9.5-fold) male from Switzerland. While we detect Late Palaeolithic-Mesolithic genomic continuity in both regions, we find t...

U-Th and 14C dating, and X-ray diffraction of parts of 16 submerged speleothems taken from depths of 1.5−41.5 m from 7 submarine caves and pits along the Eastern Adriatic coast, provided insight into the sea-level fl uctuations during the last 220 ka, and to the palaeogeographic changes caused by sea-level changes. Due to climate changes, palaeoenvironmental settings also varied, but not so abr...
