This paper evaluates red ochre phenomena as a fossil indicator for developments of human capacities and color choice in cultures. The archaeological record reveals that, from Early Palaeolithic to historical times, the collectors users have always been distinctive minority (probable exceptions being Magdalenian Paleo-Indian peoples). Nevertheless, practices persisted till present, patterns use show astonishing regularities. Beginning with Neandertal populations, they revolve predominantly...
This paper evaluates the impact of six different types tort reforms on frequency, size, and number total annual settlements in medical malpractice cases between 1991 1998. Medical data come from National Practitioner Data Bank, which contains more than 100,000 settlement payments study time frame. Of examined, two (caps pain suffering damages limitations joint several liability) reduced payments, periodic‐payment reform) average awards. Caps noneconomic had an effect although statistical...

Abstract The mammalian assemblage and archaeological finds from the Lower Palaeolithic hominid site of Evron Quarry, situated on northern coastal plain Israel, are described discussed. In their lithic faunal composition, sites Latamne (QfIII) (Latamne Formation, Orontes, Syria) Sitt Markho (Nahr elKebir, resemble probably contemporaneous. It is suggested here, based that these may be chronologically closer to Ubeidiya ('Ubeidiya Jordan Valley, Israel; 1.4 myr) than Gesher Benot Ya'akov...

Using direct percussion, language-competent bonobo-chimpanzees Kanzi and Pan-Banisha produced a significantly wider variety of flint tool types than hitherto reported, used them task-specifically to break wooden logs or dig underground for food retrieval. For log breaking, small flakes were rotated drill-like as scrapers, whereas thick cortical axes wedges, leaving consistent wear patterns along the glued slits, weakest areas log. digging underground, modified stone tools, well unmodified...
While predetermined débitage technologies are recognized beginning with the middle Acheulian, Middle Paleolithic is usually associated a sharp increase in their use. A study of scraper-blank technology from three Yabrudian assemblages retrieved early part Acheulo-Yabrudian complex Tabun Cave (ca. 415–320 kyr) demonstrates calculated and preplanned production, even if it does not show same complexity elaboration as Levallois technology. These scraper dominated an organization production based...
Abstract Objectives The tool‐assisted extractive foraging capabilities of captive (zoo) and semi‐captive (sanctuary) bonobo ( Pan paniscus ) groups were compared to each other those known in wild chimpanzee troglodytes cultures. Materials Methods bonobos provided with natural raw materials challenged tasks not previously encountered, experimental settings simulating contexts where resources requiring special retrieval efforts hidden. They shown that food was buried underground or inserted...
