Abstract In this contribution we dismantle the perceived role of marine resources and plant foods in subsistence economy Holocene foragers Central Mediterranean using a combination dental calculus stable isotope analyses. The discovery fish scales flesh fragments, starch granules other animal micro-debris Mesolithic forager dated to end 8th millenium BC buried Vlakno Cave on Dugi Otok Island Croatian Archipelago demonstrates that were regularly consumed by individual together with variety...
Abstract The paper reports on the fourth (2010) season of fieldwork Cyrenaican Prehistory Project, and further results analyses artefacts organic materials collected in 2009 season. Ground-based LiDar has provided both an accurate 3D scan Haua Fteah cave information cave's morphometry or origins. excavations focussed Middle Palaeolithic Stone Age ‘Pre-Aurignacian’ layers below base Trench beside McBurney Deep Sounding (Trench D) Final ‘Oranian’ upper part M). Although referred to as more...
The article presents an original analysis which combines use-wear, 3D modelling and spatial analyses to experimental archaeology in order investigate Early Upper Palaeolithic flint-knapping gestures techniques involving the use of macro-lithic tools. In particular, methodological framework proposed this paper was applied study Protoaurignacian Aurignacian macro-tools from Fumane Cave (Verona, Italy). Combining wear investigation, both at low high magnifications, permitted identification...
Abstract The paper reports on the fifth (2012) season of fieldwork Cyrenaican Prehistory Project. primary focus was continuation excavation prehistoric occupation layers in Haua Fteah cave. A small trench (Trench U) cut into Holocene (Neolithic) sediments exposed south wall Charles McBurney's Upper Trench. Below this, Trench M continued, southern side Middle In previous seasons we had excavated Oranian ‘Epipalaeolithic’ dating to c. 18,000–10,000 BP (years before present). 2012 continued...
In recent years, several works have proved the reliability of application 3D modeling and spatial analysis in study stone tool use. Monitoring surface morphometry resulting from use lithic tools has potential to objectively quantify identify patterns modifications associated specific activities worked materials. particular, combination with a systematic experimental framework wear foreseeing residue distribution areas over groundstone surfaces, hence providing key aid establishing sampling...
Abstract The paper reports on the third (2009) season of fieldwork Cyrenaican Prehistory Project, and further results from analysis materials collected in previous (2007 2008) fieldwork. Sediments a 14 m-deep core drilled beside McBurney trench provide an invaluable overview overall stratigraphic sequence, including at depths reached by 1950s Deep Sounding but not yet investigated present project. Sampling newly-exposed faces original excavation for dating ( C, ESR, OSL, U-series)...
Melka Kunture es un clúster de yacimientos prehistóricos situados en el altiplano etíope, a 2.000-2.200 m sobre nivel del mar, la cuenca alta río Awash. El clima más bien fresco (temperatura media anual 17° C) y lluvioso. Los resultados palinológicos demuestran que vegetación durante Pleistoceno era tipo afromontano y, por lo tanto, diferente sabana se desarrolla cotas bajas. Tras casi 60 años excavaciones 20 unos niveles arqueológicos distintos, secuencia arqueológica identificada incluye...
Abstract The article presents evidence about the Middle Palaeolithic and to Upper transition interval in karst area of Danube Gorges Lower Basin. We review extant data present new from two recently investigated sites found on Serbian side River – Tabula Traiana Dubočka‐Kozja caves. have yielded layers dating both been by application modern standards excavation recovery along with a suite state‐of‐the‐art analytical procedures. presentation focuses micromorphological analyses caves’...
L'analisi spaziale e l'uso di software GIS rivestono un ruolo essenziale in alcuni ambiti della ricerca. E piuttosto significativo, ad esempio, il contributo svolto nella definizione funzionale dello spazio all’interno contesto antropico, la valutazione densita dei manufatti loro posizionamento. Attraverso uno studio tipo possibile indagare, con maggiore dettaglio, aspetti organizzativi comportamentali gruppi preistorici. Tuttavia, queste tecniche analisi spesso vedono impiego circoscritto...
Gli strumenti da macinazione riferibili al Paleolitico e Mesolitico appartengono a una categoria di manufatti poco studiati, nonostante vi siano delle eccezioni. I macrolithic tools, caratterizzati un grande potenziale, possono apportare significativo contributo alla comprensione aspetti funzionali culturali. Se messi confronto con gli studi noti in letteratura sulla litica scheggiata, l’approccio funzionale sui macrolithics, impiegati per processare sostanze alimentari, ancora fase...
