Modern humans replaced Neandertals ∼40,000 y ago. Close to the time of replacement, show behaviors similar those modern arriving into Europe, including use specialized bone tools, body ornaments, and small blades. It is highly debated whether these developed before or as a result contact with humans. Here we report identification type tool, lissoir , previously only associated The microwear preserved on one consistent in times obtain supple, lustrous, more impermeable hides. These tools are...
Significance For several decades, scholars have questioned the existence of burial in Western Europe prior to arrival Anatomically Modern Humans. Therefore, an approach combining a global field recovery and reexamination previously discovered Neandertal remains has been undertaken site La Chapelle-aux-Saints (France), where hypothesis was raised for first time. This project concluded that deposit pit dug by other members its group protected rapid covering from any disturbance. These...
Significance Identifying past hominin diets is a key to understanding adaptation and biological evolution. Bone collagen isotope studies have added much the discussion of Neandertal subsistence strategies, providing direct measures diet. Neandertals consistently show very elevated nitrogen values. These values been seen as signature top-level carnivore diet, but this interpretation was recently challenged by number additional theories. We here apply compound-specific analysis carbon in bone...
Five nearly identical fragments of specialized bone tools, interpreted as lissoirs (French for "smoothers"), have been found at two Middle Paleolithic sites in southwest France. The finds span three separate archaeological deposits, suggesting continuity the behavior late Neandertals. Using standard morphological assessments, we determined that were produced on ribs medium-sized ungulates. However, since these bones are highly fragmented and anthropogenically modified, species determinations...
The transition from Middle to Upper Paleolithic is a major biological and cultural threshold in the construction of our common humanity. Technological behavioral changes happened simultaneously climatic cooling, which reached its acme with Heinrich 4 event, forcing human populations develop new strategies for exploitation their environment. recent fieldwork at Les Cottés (France) transitional site offers good opportunity document subsistence this period provide first time high-resolution...
Abstract In order to track diachronic changes in archaeological sequences, researchers typically partition time into stratigraphic layers defined during fieldwork, which serve as the framework for ensuing analyses. These analytical units have a significant impact on inference, defining its resolution, and influencing both study of cultural assemblages reconstruction past environments. However, field are seldom re-evaluated after excavation despite fact that deposits now commonly recognised...
During the MIS 4 in Southwestern France, Quina Neanderthal from north of Aquitaine was characterized by a hunting specialization on reindeer and lack diversity their diet. They developed task-specific locations dedicated to capture, butchery, consumption reindeer, whole society seems, this region, be dependent food resource. In context, site Chez-Pinaud at Jonzac (France) occupies specific place. First, interpreted as kill butchery site, recent recovery underlines importance large ungulate...
Did Neanderthal produce a bone industry? The recent discovery of large tool assemblage at the site Chagyrskaya (Altai, Siberia, Russia) and increasing discoveries isolated finds tools in various Mousterian sites across Eurasia stimulate debate. Assuming that isolate may be tip iceberg Siberian occurrence did not result from local adaptation easternmost Neanderthals, we looked for evidence similar industry Western side their spread area. We assessed potential Quina bone-bed level currently...
Abstract Understanding Palaeolithic hominin subsistence strategies requires the comprehensive taxonomic identification of faunal remains. The high fragmentation Late Pleistocene assemblages often prevents proper based on bone morphology. It has been assumed that morphologically unidentifiable component assemblage would reflect abundances identified portion. In this study, we analyse three datasets covering Middle to Upper transition (MUPT) at Bacho Kiro Cave (Bulgaria) and Les Cottés La...
The Magdalenian site of Saint-Germain-la-Rivière (Gironde, France) has often figured in debates and discussions about the Late Upper Palaeolithic Western Europe. Most are based on material excavated by R. Blanchard — particular now well-known burial as well more rigorous excavations G. Trécolle slope deposits. After detailed study all this M. Lenoir, which allowed from terrace deposits to be attributed Lower Middle Magdalenian, many other studies were carried out various researchers specific...
Abstract We propose for the first time use of combination two high-resolution techniques, dental wear (meso- and microwear) cementum analyses, to gain a better understanding Neanderthal subsistence strategies occupational patterns. Dental analysis provides information not only on ungulate palaeodiet palaeoenvironments but also hunting seasons. allows accurate determination age season at death prey. Our study has focused Cantabrian region applied both methods investigate Mousterian faunal...
