Flowering plants possess mechanisms that stimulate positive emotional and social responses in humans. It is difficult to establish when people started use flowers public ceremonial events because of the scarcity relevant evidence archaeological record. We report on uniquely preserved 13,700–11,700-y-old grave linings made flowers, suggesting such began much earlier than previously thought. The only potentially older instance questionable Shanidar IV Neanderthal grave. earliest cemeteries (...
Background: Although the southern Levant is commonly perceived as having been a violent region throughout history, few studies have explored pattern and intensity of skull trauma through time in general population. The aim this study to follow changes traumatic injury patterns Levant, over an extensive period 6,000 years. Methods: 783 archaeological skulls from Tel Aviv University osteological collection were examined for evidence trauma. specimens divided into three periods:...
Résumé: Les fouilles effectuées récemment à Motza, près de Jérusalem, ont révélé la présence d’un important site néolithique occupé manière continue du PPNB ancien au Néolithique céramique. Bien datée, l’occupation a livré nombreux vestiges architecturaux, des sépultures, fi gurines d’argile et pierre, ainsi qu’une abondante industrie sur silex obsidienne. Le niveau 6, épais deux mètres, comporte trois couches d’occupation successives, présentant restes architecturaux distincts. Ceux-ci...
L’objectif de cette contribution est proposer un fil conducteur pour une comparaison entre le Nord et Sud Levant du point vue des pratiques funéraires (Épipaléolithique final Néolithique précéramique). Les obstacles à telle approche sont nombreux cause notamment manque données disponibles traitements complexes variés. Bien que prélèvement crâne soit sujet largement débattu, les factuelles demeurent incomplètes dissociées. Nous avons entrepris synthèse préliminaire basée sur 65 sites (NMI : 3...
Renewed excavations at the Neolithic site of Beisamoun (Upper Jordan Valley, Israel) has resulted in discovery earliest occurrence an intentional cremation Near East directly dated to 7031–6700 cal BC (Pre-Pottery C, also known as Final PPNB, which spans ca. 7100–6400 BC). The funerary treatment involved situ within a pyre-pit young adult individual who previously survived from flint projectile injury. In this study we have used multidisciplinary approach that integrates archaeothanatology,...

Abstract Human mobility and migration are thought to have played essential roles in the consolidation expansion of sedentary villages, long-distance exchanges transmission ideas practices during Neolithic transition Near East. Few isotopic studies human remains dating this early complex offer direct evidence migration. The aim study is identify first-generation non-local individuals from Natufian Pre-Pottery C periods explore scope Southern Levant, an area that central historical process....
Investigations at the open-air shrine and cairn complex Ramat Saharonim in Makhtesh Ramon central Negev reveal a sacred precinct or ritual center with focus on mortuary cult, attributable to Late Neolithic, ca. 5000 B.C. The four shrines are aligned setting sun of summer solstice, along other landscape features. three tumuli excavated, roughly contemporary shrines, revealed primary secondary burials intentional bone realignment.

Abstract
We report genome-wide ancient DNA from 44 Near Easterners ranging in time between ~12,000-1,400 BCE, Natufian hunter-gatherers to Bronze Age farmers. show that the earliest populations of East derived around half their ancestry a ‘Basal Eurasian’ lineage had little if any Neanderthal admixture and separated other non-African lineages prior separation each other. The first farmers southern Levant (Israel Jordan) Zagros Mountains (Iran) were strongly genetically differentiated, descended local...
<title>Abstract</title> Identification of the sex fossil and archaeological animal remains offers many insights into their demography, mortality profile domestication pathways. However, determination fossils is often impossible due to absence sex-specific diagnostic features on or ambivalence in extrapolating dimorphism from body size limited organic material preservation for analysis using aDNA. To counter this, we have developed an innovative protocol employing peptidomic techniques tooth...
