Questions about when early members of the genus Homo adapted to extreme environments like deserts and rainforests have traditionally focused on sapiens. Here, we present multidisciplinary evidence from Engaji Nanyori in Tanzania's Oldupai Gorge, revealing that erectus thrived hyperarid landscapes one million years ago. Using biogeochemical analyses, precise chronometric dating, palaeoclimate simulations, biome modeling, fire history reconstructions, palaeobotanical studies, faunal...
Large, conglomerate caves in north-eastern Iberia have been significant places since the Neolithic through to historical times; however, their significance during Palaeolithic has barely explored. This project is first systematic study of use these iconic geological landmarks among Pleistocene hunter-gatherers.
Abstract Intraoral scanners are widely used in a clinical setting for orthodontic treatments and tooth restorations, also useful assessing dental wear pathology progression. In this study, we assess the utility of using an intraoral scanner associated software quantifying tissue loss non-human primates. An upper lower second molar 31 captive hamadryas baboons ( Papio ) were assessed progression over multiple years n = 62 teeth). The animals part Southwest National Primate Research Center all...
This study seeks to contribute the current understanding of dietary variation in late Prehistory northeastern Iberian Peninsula by examining buccal dental microwear patterns alongside archeological data from same populations.
Abstract Objectives The dentition of Olduvai Hominid 1 (OH1) exhibits an anomalous pattern dental wear that was originally attributed to either intentional cultural modification (filing) or plant processing behaviors. A differential diagnosis the and assessment biological affinity OH1 is presented. Materials Methods Macroscopic microscopic observations all labial buccal tooth surfaces were undertaken assess patterns. multivariate analysis mandibular morphology compared other Late...
Abstract Dietary reconstruction is used to make inferences about the subsistence strategies of ancient human populations, but it may also serve as a proxy characterise their diverse cultural and technological manifestations. Dental microwear stable isotope analyses have been shown be successful techniques for paleodietary populations but, despite yielding complementary dietary information, these rarely combined within same study. Here we present first time comprehensive approach interpreting...
This study presents an exceptional collection of 54 Late Pleistocene human remains that correspond to at least three Neanderthal individuals from Simanya Gran, the main gallery Cova Simanya, located in northeastern Iberian Peninsula. The comprised 53 unpublished were unearthed during 1970s and additional tooth discovered 2021 excavations. specimens represent adult with a small stature, periadolescent aged approximately 11.5 years, immature individual 7.7 thus offering more complete...
Abstract Objectives This study analyzes and compares dental microwear textures on occlusal buccal surfaces from the same tooth to determine if using these in tandem can provide complementary data for dietary reconstructions. Materials methods Cova de la Guineu is a Late Neolithic‐Chalcolithic burial cave located Font‐Rubí (Barcelona, Spain). The sample consisted of 69 individuals represented by lower left second molar. However, only 27 had well‐preserved surfaces. Dental Microwear Texture...
Intraoral scanners are widely used in a clinical setting for orthodontic treatments and tooth restorations, also useful assessing dental wear pathology progression. In this study, we assess the utility of using an intraoral scanner associated software quantifying tissue loss non-human primates. An upper lower second molar 31 captive hamadryas baboons ( Papio ) were assessed progression, giving total sample 62 teeth. The animals part Southwest National Primate Research Center all fed same...
During the early development of archaeology in Spain, many materials obtained from excavations were later forgotten museum deposits. However, re-investigation these collections with contemporary methodologies can still contribute valuable knowledge. This study presents case El Bosquet Cave (Mont-ral, Tarragona, Spain), located Northeastern Iberian Peninsula. cave was excavated and documented 1956 recovered transferred, years later, to Reus Museum, where they are currently located. Our...
RESUMENEste artículo presenta un análisis holístico de los restos dentales pertenecientes a tres individuos infantiles del yacimiento la Edad Bronce Cueva Valdavara (Becerréa, Lugo), mediante diferentes aproximaciones metodológicas, como es el microdesgaste dental, estudio anatómico externo e interno, y patologías.El objetivo este obtener una visión más completa factores bioculturales (salud oral, dieta, procesamiento alimento…) que afectaron vida estos individuos.Los resultados muestran...
