Straight-tusked elephants (Palaeoloxodon antiquus) were the largest terrestrial mammals of Pleistocene, present in Eurasian landscapes between 800,000 and 100,000 years ago. The occasional co-occurrence their skeletal remains with stone tools has generated rich speculation about nature interactions these Pleistocene humans: Did hominins scavenge on that died a natural death or maybe even hunt some individuals? Our archaeozoological study P. antiquus assemblage known, excavated from...
Abstract Correlating cultural, technological and ecological aspects of both Upper Pleistocene modern humans (UPMHs) Neandertals provides a useful approach for achieving robust predictions about what makes us human. Here we present information period special relevance in human evolution, the time replacement by during Late Europe. Using stable isotopic approach, shed light on diet mobility late UPMHs from cave sites Troisième caverne Goyet Spy Belgium. We demonstrate that their was...
Abstract We report the occurrence at 0.7 million years (Ma) of an ichnological assemblage Gombore II-2, which is one several archaeological sites Melka Kunture in upper Awash Valley Ethiopia, 2000 m asl. Adults and children potentially as young 12 months old left tracks a silty substrate on shore body water where ungulates, well other mammals birds, congregated. Furthermore, same layers contain rich palaeontological record, confirming that knapping was taking place situ stone tools were used...
Background Ancient protein sequences are increasingly used to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships between extinct and extant mammalian taxa. Here, we apply these recent developments Middle Pleistocene bone specimens of rhinoceros genus Stephanorhinus . No biomolecular sequence data is currently available for this genus, leaving hypotheses on its evolutionary rhinoceroses untested. Furthermore, phylogenies based Rhinocerotidae (partial or complete) mitochondrial DNA differ in placement...
Studies of ancient lake sites in Germany suggest landscape manipulation by prehistoric hunter-gatherers, 125,000 years ago.
Abstract An interdisciplinary study of a small sedimentary basin at Neumark Nord 2 (NN2), Germany, has yielded high-resolution record the palaeomagnetic Blake Event, which we are able to place early part last interglacial pollen sequence documented from same section. We use this data calculate duration stratigraphically important event 3400 ± 350 yr. More importantly, enables precise terrestrial–marine correlation for Eemian stage in central Europe. This shows remarkably large time lag ca....
Few sites with evidence for fire use are known from the Last Interglacial in Europe. Hearth features rarely preserved, probably as a result of post-depositional processes. The small postglacial basins (<300 m diameter) that dominate sedimentary context Eemian record Europe high-resolution environmental archives often containing charcoal particles. This case study presents macroscopic Neumark-Nord 2 basin, Germany, and correlation this distinct find levels basin margin also contain thermally...
