Palaeolithic Hunting Practices Охотники Палеолита

چکیده
С палеоантропология достигла понимания того, что во многих отношениях наши традиционные модели «перехода» между Средним и Верхним Палеолитом и данные, используемые для их обоснования, устарели. Этот сдвиг в восприятии стал следствием более независимого исследования палеолитических популяций, без ссылки на современные племена и их культурные, лингвистические и символические достижения. По прошествии двадцати лет, мы теперь осознаем, что люди среднего палеолита, а именно, неандертальцы, были способны на огромное разнообразие сложнейших типов поведения и познавательного поведения; это заставляет пересмотреть определение современного поведения и то как мы интерепретируем признаки «современности» в археологических материалах. По мере того как палеолитическая археология больше начинает принимать социальную, нежели упрощенную материалистическую или технологическую трактовку праистории, становится ясно что несмотря на очевидные различия между неандертальцами и Homo sapiens sapiens, все больше сужается существующая в нашем восприятии пропасть между ними.

9. Seasonal Patterns of Prey Acquisition and Inter-group Competition During the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic of the Southern Caucasus
Zooarchaeological and taphonomic analyses provide an essential backdrop to discussions of Late Middle Palaeolithic and Early Upper Palaeolithic patterns of mobility, land-use, and hunting, and the degree and manner(s) of Neanderthal and modern human competition within the southern Caucasus. Recent research at Ortvale Klde has documented the hunting of prime-age adult Capra caucasica and the org...
متن کاملSpecialized Early Upper Palaeolithic Hunters in Southwestern France?
Paul Mellars has long used cave and rockshelter ungulate faunal assemblages from southwestern France to argue that the early Upper Palaeolithic people of this region focused their hunting on reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), and that such specialized hunting distinguishes the Upper from the Middle Palaeolithic in at least this region. We examine this argument quantitatively, using a sample of 133 M...
متن کاملTaphonomic History of the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic Faunal Assemblage from Ortvale Klde, Georgian Republic
We present the results of a detailed taphonomic and zooarchaeological study of the faunal remains from the late Middle Palaeolithic (LMP) and early Upper Palaeolithic (EUP) bone assemblage of Ortvale Klde, Georgian Republic. A series of taphonomic tests and analyses are employed to reconstruct the depositional history of the bone assemblage and investigate LMP (Neanderthal) and EUP (Modern huma...
متن کاملAdaptation and niche construction in human prehistory: a case study from the southern Scandinavian Late Glacial.
The niche construction model postulates that human bio-social evolution is composed of three inheritance domains, genetic, cultural and ecological, linked by feedback selection. This paper argues that many kinds of archaeological data can serve as proxies for human niche construction processes, and presents a method for investigating specific niche construction hypotheses. To illustrate this me...
متن کاملREVIEW A brief review of the archaeological evidence for Palaeolithic and Neolithic subsistence
Knowledge of our ancestor’s diets is becoming increasingly important in evolutionary medicine, as researchers have argued that we have evolved to specific type of ‘Palaeolithic’ diet, and many modern nutritional disorders relate to the mismatch between the diet to which we have evolved, and the relatively newer agricultural-based ‘Neolithic’ diets. However, what is the archaeological evidence f...
