Palaeolithic sites in Russian high latitudes have been considered as Upper and thus representing an Arctic expansion of modern humans. Here we show that at Byzovaya, the western foothills Polar Urals, technological structure lithic assemblage makes it directly comparable with Mousterian Middle industries so far exclusively attributed to Neandertal populations Europe. Radiocarbon optical-stimulated luminescence dates on bones sand grains indicate site was occupied during a short period around...
Abstract When they are occasionally found in Middle Palaeolithic Neanderthal settlements, lithic weapons heads large and do not differ size, shaping or type from those used for activities other than hunting, such as plant gathering butchery. The presence a same assemblage of various types armatures, some which microlithic designed this purpose, has only been documented Modern Humans sites. Recent studies show that light projectile points, were to become the structuring element Upper...
The Near-Eastern Mousterian is characterized by a large development of Levallois debitage industries, mainly focusing on the production triangular elements (Levallois points, and subtriangular flakes), most often resulting from convergent unipolar mode exploitation. Among tools identified in these first usewear analyses had emphasised presence projectile points. However, recent work leads us to modify appreciably functional definition considered assemblages, concerning both criteria for...
L'analyse technologique des pointes à cran solutréennes révèle un usage préférentiel en armatures de projectiles légers. Parmi ces pointes, deux types technomorphologiques bien individualisés, A et B, résultent chaînes opératoires fabrication différenciées. Ces objets coexistent cependant avec d'autres d'armatures lilhiques. les feuilles laurier lamelles dos retouché qui devaient équiper sagaies bois renne rainures profondes. résultats, confirmés par une étude archéologique expérimentale,...
During the MIS 4 in Southwestern France, Quina Neanderthal from north of Aquitaine was characterized by a hunting specialization on reindeer and lack diversity their diet. They developed task-specific locations dedicated to capture, butchery, consumption reindeer, whole society seems, this region, be dependent food resource. In context, site Chez-Pinaud at Jonzac (France) occupies specific place. First, interpreted as kill butchery site, recent recovery underlines importance large ungulate...

AbstractAbstractRecent excavations at Nawarla Gabarnmang in Jawoyn country, southwest Arnhem Land have produced a long sequence of AMS radiocarbon determinations on individual pieces charcoal reliably associated with stone artefacts dating back to 45,180±910 cal BP. It represents one the earliest radiocarbon-dated archaeological sites Australia. Here we report initial results.
The grinding of stone to make sharp cutting edges did not evolve with the emergence biologically modern humans in Africa, but late Pleistocene at completion or nearcompletion Out-of-Africa 2 migration. Here we discuss earliest securely-dated fragment ground-edge axe from Australia, dated 35,500 cal. bp, an age slightly older comparable ages for edge-grinding Pacific Ocean's western seaboard. In this region axes agriculture, nor clearance forests, but, rather, as socially mediated technology,...
Did Neanderthal produce a bone industry? The recent discovery of large tool assemblage at the site Chagyrskaya (Altai, Siberia, Russia) and increasing discoveries isolated finds tools in various Mousterian sites across Eurasia stimulate debate. Assuming that isolate may be tip iceberg Siberian occurrence did not result from local adaptation easternmost Neanderthals, we looked for evidence similar industry Western side their spread area. We assessed potential Quina bone-bed level currently...
AbstractAbstractEvidence for the world’s earliest stone tools dates to 3.4 million years ago and pre-dates known Homo species in eastern Africa. However ground-edged did not appear until dispersal of cognitively fully modern sapiens out We report on discovery securely dated ground-edge implement world at Nawarla Gabarnmang (northern Australia). The fragment axe is sandwiched between four statistically indistinguishable AMS radiocarbon 35,400±410 cal BP, indicating technological innovations...
The aim of the experimental archaeological program TRANSIT is to improve scientific study Paleolithic sites. This based on studies and experiments carried out at high altitudes in French Alps. One its goals assess effects periglacial processes spatial distributions within assemblages artifacts bones. Research sedimentary environments elucidates stratogenesis contexts. In particular, models that are useful for interpreting fossil deposits were identified. first results obtained from artifact...
