The archaeological record indicates that elephants must have played a significant role in early human diet and culture during Palaeolithic times the Old World. However, nature of interactions between humans is still under discussion. Elephant remains are found sites, both open-air cave Europe, Asia, Levant, Africa. In some cases elephant mammoth indicate evidence for butchering marrow extraction performed by humans. Revadim Quarry (Israel) Late Acheulian site where were association with...
The timing of archeological industries in the Levant is central for understanding spread modern humans with Upper Paleolithic traditions. We report a high-resolution radiocarbon chronology Early (Early Ahmarian and Levantine Aurignacian) from newly excavated site Manot Cave, Israel. dates confirm that industry was present by 46,000 calibrated years before (cal BP), Aurignacian occurred at least between 38,000 34,000 cal BP. This consistent proposed migrations or technological diffusions Near...
The reasons and processes that led hunter-gatherers to transition into a sedentary agricultural way of life are fundamental unresolved question human history. Here we present results excavations two single-occupation early Neolithic sites (dated 7.9 7.4 ka) high-resolution archaeological surveys in northeast China, which capture the earliest stages sedentism millet cultivation second oldest center domestication Old World. coincided with significant wetter conditions north at 8.1–7.9 ka. We...
Abstract Rantis Cave is a recently discovered filled cave in central Israel, displaying rich faunal accumulation of micromammals, ungulates and carnivores. U–Th dating assigns the beginning to ca. 140 ka. The culturally assigned late half Middle Paleolithic (MP) period. Single‐grain optically stimulated luminescence measurements attest complex sedimentological history. We present cross‐disciplinary results taphonomic geomorphological analyses, which point serving as natural pitfall trap for...
The late Lower Palaeolithic was a turbulent period with many changes in subsistence as well variations the material culture. Yet, despite its importance, few detailed descriptions have been published. In this article we present techno-typological report on variability and continuity along depositional sequence of Area C East, at open-air site Revadim, Israel. order to learn how what ways smaller scale over time, micro- environmental changes, affect lithic assemblages assemblage initially...
The excavation at Ḥorbat Ḥammim (South) yielded a rock-cut basin and small cave within limestone bedrock outcrop. is similar to other installations previously exposed in the area dated Chalcolithic period.The manmade was entered through shaft. sediments from shaft consisted of many potsherds, stone tools animal bones, that may have been washed into cave, or intentionally discarded it. quarried as early Late period, although bulk pottery dates EB IA, supporting presence community I dwellers this area.
The flint artifacts from the excavation at TelMagalwere retrieved a stratigraphic sequencethat includes strata dating to Early PotteryNeolithic (Jericho IX culture; Stratum IX), LatePottery Neolithic (Wadi Raba StrataVIII, VII) and Bronze Age (Strata VI–I),as well as isolated finds of Pre-Pottery NeolithicB (PPNB).
