Significance The microbiome plays key roles in human health, but little is known about its evolution. We investigate the evolutionary history of African hominid oral by analyzing dental biofilms humans and Neanderthals spanning past 100,000 years comparing them with those chimpanzees, gorillas, howler monkeys. identify 10 core bacterial genera that have been maintained within lineage play biofilm structural roles. However, many remain understudied unnamed. find major taxonomic functional...
Abstract The Dolní Věstonice–Pavlov–Milovice area (Czech Republic) on the slopes of Pavlov Hills provides an opportunity for correlating geomorphology Dyje River valley with Gravettian settlement patterns. Although sites vary in size and complexity, they create a regular chain strategic locations at elevations between 200 m 240 asl. In 2009, road collapsed into deserted cellars inside village Milovice revealed complex archaeological layers deep within loess, elevation only 175 This paper...
Abstract The formation of extensive mammoth bone deposits is a characteristic feature the large Upper Paleolithic settlements Moravian Gravettian (approximately 30 ky cal BP). Some these were preferentially deposited in moist locations, possibly for reasons hygiene and conservation. Here, we present case deposit located side gully below Dolní Věstonice II settlement, where an earlier Pleistocene landslide temporarily created shallow water basin. environmental record provided by analyses...
The rich earlier Mid Upper Palaeolithic (Pavlovian) sites of Dolní Vĕstonice I and II Pavlov (∼32,000–∼30,000 cal BP) in southern Moravia (Czech Republic) have yielded a series human burials, isolated pairs extremities bones teeth. burials occurred within adjacent to the remains structures (‘huts’), among domestic debris. Two them were mammoth bone dumps, but none was directly associated with areas apparent discard (or garbage). bones/teeth haphazardly scattered through occupation areas,...
Abstract This paper focuses on two accumulations of horse bones at the Stránská skála IV site, dated from around Last Glacial Maximum (Epigravettian). Osteological material was subjected to taxonomical and taphonomical analyses. The results confirmed prevalence horses, quantitative analyses indicated a minimum 10 individuals, which is approximate size herd. did not confirm any traces human activities, but basis skeletal part representation in combination with other site features, we...
Zöld Cave is a recently discovered Late Epigravettian site in Hungary. It yielded small archaeological collection dated to 17.0–14.9 ka cal BP. The findings consists of faunal remains horse and reindeer bearing extensive marks human activity, lithic artifacts hunting armature types, including curved backed points, truncated bladelets, bladelet, typical for tool inventory. archeozoological results indicate the cave was used as hunting–butchering site. record eastern Central Europe suggests...
With the end of MIS3, unity larger Gravettian settlements based predominantly on mammoth exploitation split into a mosaic smaller Epigravettian sites with specific behaviors and economies. Based C14 chronology, site Stránská skála IV (together Grubgraben, Ságvár Kašov), correlates brief warm period after Last Glacial Maximum around 22 ka calBP. We detected two main accumulations horse bones under rock cliff suggesting that was not regular settlement but rather specialised hunting site. No...
