Archeological analysis of faunal remains and lithic bone tools has suggested that hunting medium to large mammals was a major element Neanderthal subsistence. Plant foods are almost invisible in the archeological record, it is impossible estimate accurately their dietary importance. However, stable isotope (δ 13 C δ 15 N) mammal collagen provides direct measure diet been applied two Neanderthals various species from Vindija Cave, Croatia. The evidence overwhelmingly points behaving as...
New accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon dates taken directly on human remains from the Late Pleistocene sites of Vindija and Velika Pećina in Hrvatsko Zagorje Croatia are presented. Hominid specimens both have played critical roles development current perspectives modern evolutionary emergence Europe. Dates ≈28 thousand years (ka) before present (B.P.) ≈29 ka B.P. for two G 1 establish them as most recent dated Neandertals Eurasian range these archaic humans. The frontal bone Pećina,...
The 1998/1999 direct dating of two Neandertal specimens from level G 1 Vindija Cave in Croatia to ≈28,000 and ≈29,000 radiocarbon ( 14 C) years ago has led interpretations concerning the late survival Neandertals south-central Europe, patterns interaction between in-dispersing early modern humans complex biocultural scenarios for earlier phases Upper Paleolithic. Given improvements, particularly sample pretreatment techniques bone samples, especially ultrafiltration collagen these fossils...
Significance Radiocarbon dating of Neanderthal remains recovered from Vindija Cave (Croatia) initially revealed surprisingly recent results: 28,000–29,000 B.P. This implied the could represent a late-surviving, refugial population and suggested they have been responsible for producing some early Upper Paleolithic artefacts more usually produced by anatomically modern humans. article presents revised radiocarbon dates human bones this site obtained using robust purification method targeting...
We report here protein sequences of fossil hominids, from two Neanderthals dating to ≈75,000 years old Shanidar Cave in Iraq. These sequences, the oldest reported primate are bone osteocalcin, which was extracted and sequenced by using MALDI-TOF/TOF mass spectrometry. Through a combination direct sequencing peptide mapping, we determined that have an osteocalcin amino acid sequence is identical modern humans. also complete for chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes ) gorilla Gorilla partial orangutan...
Abstract Farming was first introduced to southeastern Europe in the mid-7 th millennium BCE – brought by migrants from Anatolia who settled region before spreading throughout Europe. To clarify dynamics of interaction between farmers and indigenous hunter-gatherers where they met, we analyze genome-wide ancient DNA data 223 individuals lived surrounding regions 12,000 500 BCE. We document previously uncharacterized genetic structure, showing a West-East cline ancestry hunter-gatherers, show...
This paper presents the results obtained by analysis of Upper Paleolithic occupation levels in Vindija Cave, northwestern Croatia. Typological analyses stone and bone tools have been carried out. provides direct evidence on transition from Middle to Paleolithic, as well fossil hominids (probably Neanderthals) associated with a 33,000-year-old (Aurignacian) industry. The this site starts Aurignacian continues Gravettian industry, which is divided into several phases (Gravettian, Late...
Abstract
AbstractAbstractMujina Pećina in Dalmatia, Croatia is the only systematically excavated and well-dated Middle Paleolithic cave site eastern Adriatic. Its stratigraphic sequence covers period between 45 39 uncalibrated years ka. Results of sedimentological, lithic, faunal, paleobotanical analyses upper levels (Levels B, C, D1, D2) show that this was a hunting sporadically visited by humans. During these occupation episodes humans processed animal remains (mostly large bovids, cervids,...
