Handaxes, simple flakes and retouched are three types of stone tools whose adaptive advantages highly debated. Interpretations these technologically different suggest that their adequacy for butchery is uneven. Although some experimentation has been made in this regard, further research needed to understand which tool more efficient butchery, thus granting the hominins who used them. The present experimental work shows small handaxes provide higher return rates activities than flakes....
Abstract Humans are unique in their diet, physiology and socio-reproductive behavior compared to other primates. They also the ubiquitous adaptation all biomes habitats. From an evolutionary perspective, these trends seem have started about two million years ago, coinciding with emergence of encephalization, reduction dental apparatus, adoption a fully terrestrial lifestyle, resulting modern anatomical bauplan, focalization certain activities landscape, use stone tools, exit from Africa. It...
Analogical frameworks created through experimentation are a vital part of taphonomic studies for interpreting the archaeological record. Understanding anatomical location cut marks is crucial butchery behaviour humans in past, as well indirectly inferring subsistence and economic function sites. Two experimental/ethnoarchaeological have provided taphonomists with analogues to interpret filleting disarticulation behaviours from archaeofaunal assemblages. However, these were made limited...

Paleolithic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) played an important role for human populations in western and central Europe during much of the period. In southwestern France particular Magdalenian, frequently figures among privileged prey hunter-gatherer groups. However, despite numerous attempts to reconstruct migratory behavior reindeer, there is no agreement on degree mobility this prey. Modern ethological data indicate that herds adopt different strategies depending type habitat topography...
Reindeer mobility patterns vary widely in modern ecosystems, notably between more open or wooded environments. This renders the reconstruction of past reindeer challenging, while being at same time key if archaeologists want to better understand role that herds played subsistence and territorial organisation Prehistoric hunter-gatherer societies. Studying morphology associated with different habitats can be a useful method for understanding behaviour. To access paleoecological information,...
