Introduction Paleoanthropologists who seek correspondences between the fossil and archaeological records of the Pleistocene have a frustrating task. The fossil record suggests that Homo erectus (or possibly H. ergaster) migrated out of Africa by 1.8 Ma and then evolved in Africa, Europe and Asia into a group of taxa or populations—often termed collectively as “archaic Homo”—that are chiefly dis...
Breitenbach-schneidemühle, Ger Many: a Ma Jor Aurignacian Open Air Set Tle Ment in Cen Tral Eu Rope
Ab stract De spite its sig nif i cance for the un der stand ing of the Aurig na cian in terms of be hav ioural vari abil ity and adap tive strat e gies in north ern lat i tudes, the ar chae o log i cal ma te rial of Breitenbach has never been pub lished com pre hen sively for al most a cen tury since its dis cov ery in 1924. More over, de spite the fact that the ex ca va tion ex tends over ca. ...
Isernia La Pineta (south-central Italy, Molise) is one of the most important archaeological localities of the Middle Pleistocene in Western Europe. It is an extensive open-air site with abundant lithic industry and faunal remains distributed across four stratified archaeosurfaces that have been found in two sectors of the excavation (3c, 3a, 3s10 in sect. I; 3a in sect. II). The prehistoric att...
Great Basin populations during the PleistoceneeHolocene Transition (PHT) are often characterized as being mobile and focused on wetlands; however, the factors that influenced where Paleoindians selected residential campsites are poorly understood. Using predictions derived from optimal foraging-based patch choice models and GIS reconstructions of the PHT landscape, some researchers have argued ...
The paper presents the results of optical dating of potassium-rich feldspar grains obtained from the Haua Fteah cave in Cyrenaica, northeast Libya, focussing on the chronology of the Deep Sounding excavated by Charles McBurney in the 1950s and re-excavated recently. Samples were also collected from a 1.25 m-deep trench (Trench S) excavated during the present project below the basal level of the...
This paper addresses the spatial and temporal dimensions of knapping routines through analysis of refit data. Many reconstructions of lithic tool production utilising refit data concentrate upon 'how' a piece of stone is taken apart, and less often consider the 'when' and 'where'. Lower Palaeolithic artefacts are frequently viewed as belonging to simplistic technical systems in which tools were...
The notion that the evolution of core reduction strategies involved increasing efficiency in cutting edge production is prevalent in narratives of hominin technological evolution. Yet a number of studies comparing two different knapping technologies have found no significant differences in edge production. Using digital analysis methods we present an investigation of raw material efficiency in ...
The specific using of different prehistoric weapons is mainly determined by its physical properties, which provide a relative advantage or disadvantage to perform a given, particular function. Since these physical properties are integrated to accomplish that function, examining design variables and their pattern of integration or modularity is of interest to estimate the past function of a poin...
