This study presents the results of a major data integration project bringing together primary archaeozoological for over 200,000 faunal specimens excavated from seventeen sites in Turkey spanning Epipaleolithic through Chalcolithic periods, c. 18,000-4,000 cal BC, order to document initial westward spread domestic livestock across Neolithic central and western Turkey. From these shared datasets we demonstrate that expansion subsistence technologies combined multiple routes pulses but did not...
The 8.2-thousand years B.P. event is evident in multiple proxy records across the globe, showing generally dry and cold conditions for ca. 160 years. Environmental changes around are mainly detected using geochemical or palynological analyses of ice cores, lacustrine, marine, other sediments often distant from human settlements. Late Neolithic excavated area archaeological site Çatalhöyük East [Team Poznań (TP) area] was occupied four centuries ninth eighth millennia B.P., thus encompassing...
ABSTRACT Analysis of pathologies can shed light on the health, trauma, and disease states animals in past. This study aims to explore health status megafauna during Pleistocene Holocene Poland elucidate diseases afflicting them, order gain a broader picture physical condition these animals. For this purpose, species that show pathological lesions were macroscopically studied, CT images used for reconstruction. These results are supplemented with previously published data. Our cases traumatic...
We evaluated the skull of an ancient giant deer with a deformity one antler.The was found in 1930s San River near Barycz, southeastern Poland.Its dating (39,800±1000 yr BP) corresponds to MIS-3, when widespread Europe.Our diagnostics for antler included gross morphology, radiography, computed tomography, and histopathology.We noted signs fracture healing affected antler, including disordered arrangement lamellae, absence osteons, numerous Volkmann's canals remaining after blood vessel...
The Neolithic inhabitants of Çatalhöyük in central Anatolia used local wetland and riparian environments for a variety different tasks throughout the site's occupation. These tended to vary year as resources became available residents organized their labor focus on particular tasks. authors summarize paleoenvironmental archaeological data from recent analyses at describe how use fluctuated over course typical Çatalhöyük, well these patterns changed Çatalhöyük's later reorganized ways which...
The potential usefulness of taphonomical research for studies Pleistocene mammal remains is detailed.The required involves two stages.The first one the biostratinomical stage, which concerns time between death organism and its burial; this time-span, spatial distribution remnants analysed, as well weathering marks, activity predators (i.e.gnawing digestion), influence temperature, intentional human activity, rodent marks (i.e.gnawing), trampling.in second diagenetic deals with time-span from...
Abstract We present palaeogenomes of three morphologically unidentified Anatolian equids dating to the first millennium BCE, sequenced a coverage 0.6–6.4×. Mitochondrial DNA haplotypes individuals clustered with those Equus hydruntinus (or hemionus ), extinct European wild ass, secular name ‘hydruntine’. Further, ass whole genome profiles fell outside genomic diversity other extant and past Asiatic ( E. ) lineages. These observations suggest that asses represent hydruntines, making them...
Climatic oscillations are considered primary factors influencing the distribution of various life forms on Earth. Large species adapted to cold climates particularly vulnerable extinction due climate changes. In our study, we investigated whether temperature increase since Late Pleistocene and contraction environmental niche during Holocene were main contributing decreasing range moose (Alces alces) in Europe. We also examined there significant differences conditions between areas inhabited...
Muskox Ovibos moschatus is a Pleistocene relic, which has survived only in North America and Greenland. During the Pleistocene, it was widely distributed Eurasia America. To evaluate its morphological variability through time space, we conducted an extensive morphometric study of 217 Praeovibos skull remains. The analyses showed that skulls grew progressively wider from sp. to O. moschatus, while recent facial regions turned narrower shorter. We also noticed significant geographic...
