Découverte de restes humains néandertaliens à l'abri Tourtoirac (Dordogne)
Documenté depuis la fin du XIXe siècle, l'abri Tourtoirac a été plus formellement investigué lors des campagnes de fouilles réalisées par Henri Laville entre 1968 et 1972. Largement inédites, les collections issues de ces travaux ont été brièvement citées dans différentes synthèses régionales sans qu'une réévaluation des pièces et du site n'ait été menée. Depuis 2021, la reprise des fouilles dans cet abri (dir. L. Doyon), associée à l'étude des c…

Patterns of Violence in the Pre-Neolithic Nile Valley
Burial assemblages inform us about the biology of past societies, social relations, and ritual and symbolic behavior. However, they also allow us to examine the circumstances of death and social violence. A high level of intergroup violence among prehistoric hunter-gatherers is well-documented in some times and places but is extremely rare in others. Here we present an analysis of the perimortem injury to skeleton PD8 at the site of Sphinx in Cen…
New Visual Analytics Tool and Spatial Statistics to Explore Archeological Data
The archeological record of La Roche-à-Pierrot (France) is central to debates on the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition. To this day, it is the only site to have provided a relatively complete Neandertal skeleton associated with an industry identified as transitional, the Châtelperronian, which had been attributed until then to Homo sapiens . The site was the subject of several excavation campaigns led by F. Lévêque in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1…
Development of a tool to assess the methodological quality of studies reporting on archaeologically excavated human skeletons
Methodological bias can directly affect the interpretation of research data. Studies reporting on excavated skeletons represent a valuable source of information in medicine, dentistry, archaeology and anthropology, and forensic sciences. However, these studies represent a specific setting with their own methodology, for which no quality assessment tool is available. The aim was to develop a critical appraisal tool to assess the methodological qua…
Technical note
For reconstructing physical activity in the past, the surfaces of bones where muscles and ligaments attach, “entheses,” are routinely studied. Previous research has introduced an experimentally validated virtual approach for reconstructing habitual activity based on entheses. The present study relies on this virtual method to further investigate the effects of various biological factors on entheses, including variation by ancestry. Our skeletal s…

The Potential of Micromammals for the Stratigraphy and the Timing of Human Occupations at La Roche-à-Pierrot (Saint-Césaire, France)
As micromammals are highly sensitive to changes in their habitat, variations in species representation are often used to reconstruct local environmental conditions. However, taphonomic aspects of micromammals are often overlooked, despite the fact that they can provide important information for our understanding of archaeological sites. La Roche-à-Pierrot, Saint-Césaire, is a major archaeological site for our understanding of the Middle-to-Upper …
Characterisation of charred organic matter in micromorphological thin sections by means of Raman spectroscopy
Burned or charred organic matter in anthropogenic combustion features may provide important clues about past human activities related to fire. To interpret archaeological hearths, a correct identification of the organic source material is key. In the present work, Raman spectroscopy is applied to characterise the structural properties of char produced in laboratory heating- and open-fire experiments. This reference data set is compared to analyse…
Reassessment of the Neandertal fossil collection from Abri Suard (La Chaise de Vouthon, Charente, France)
Abri Suard is one of the sites localized at La Chaise de Vouthon in Charente. La Chaise is a well-known prehistoric place, historically and archaeologically as it preserved long stratigraphic sequences documenting Lower to Upper Palaeolithic human occupations. A substantial number of Neandertal human remains have been discovered in a sedimentary unit associated to MIS 6-5 (250-120 kya) from Abri Suard, which makes them some of the earliest Wester…
Recherches pluridisciplinaires sur la sépulture de l'enfant néandertalien La Ferrassie 8
L’ancienneté des premières sépultures primaires en pleine terre et leur ou leurs auteurs sont des problématiques débattues depuis la naissance de la Préhistoire. En effet, enterrer volontairement un mort, ce qui implique probablement une considération conceptuelle qui échappe largement aux archéologues, est une activité symbolique que certains n’associent qu’à Homo sapiens. Nous fournissons de nouvelles informations multidisciplinaires sur le con…
Le cimetière de Jebel Sahaba (site 117, Nubie)
The debate on the traces of prehistoric interpersonal violence is heavily reliant on the early 1960s excavations of the Late Pleistocene cemetery of Jebel Sahaba (Nubia) by F. Wendorf. The publication of his work remains a key reference on the subject. However, no integrative study of the traces of violence left on the human remains was undertaken to better understand the extent of the phenomenon identified at this prehis-toric site. Founded by s…
Climate change and human lakeside adaptation in the Central Afar Region (Lake Abhe basin, Ethiopia & Djibouti) during the Later Stone Age - Neolithic transition
lt;p>Throughout the last 20 ka, tropical Africa was the site of significant hydrological changes related to variations in the intensity of the African monsoon. Recent studies conducted in lake and deltaic sedimentary records suggest that gradual long-term monsoon humid oscillations (African Humid Period ~14 – ~6 ka) were punctuated by centennial-scale episodes of hyperaridity (HS1, YD, 8.2 ka, 4.2 ka). These abrupt hydrological changes could have…

Biocultural diversity in Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene Africa
OBJECTIVES: The dentition of Olduvai Hominid 1 (OH1) exhibits an anomalous pattern of dental wear that was originally attributed to either intentional cultural modification (filing) or plant processing behaviors. A differential diagnosis of the wear and assessment of the biological affinity of OH1 is presented. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Macroscopic and microscopic observations of all labial and buccal tooth surfaces were undertaken to assess wear pa…

Taphonomy and Paleoichnology of Olduvai Hominid 1 (OH1), Tanzania
This paper presents a case study of the Late Pleistocene skeletal remains of Olduvai Hominid 1, which were unearthed in Tanzania. Excavated in 1913, this fossil shows severe damage due to subterranean termites (Insecta: Isoptera). By combining methods to quantify and locate traces on the skeleton with the study of the different taphonomic processes that altered the deposit, we demonstrate a non-arbitrary pattern of termite alteration of the skele…
Pleistocene Mitochondrial Genomes Suggest a Single Major Dispersal of Non-Africans and a Late Glacial Population Turnover in Europe
New data on the late Neandertals
In Eurasia, the period between 40,000 and 30,000 BP saw the replacement of Neandertals by anatomically modern humans (AMH) during and after the Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition. The human fossil record for this period is very poorly defined with no overlap between Neandertals and AMH on the basis of direct dates. Four new 14 C dates were obtained on the two adult Neandertals from Spy (Belgium). The results show that Neandertals survived to …

Modern human cranial diversity in the Late Pleistocene of Africa and Eurasia
The origin and evolutionary history of modern humans is of considerable interest to paleoanthropologists and geneticists alike. Paleontological evidence suggests that recent humans originated and expanded from an African lineage that may have undergone demographic crises in the Late Pleistocene according to archaeological and genetic data. This would suggest that extant human populations derive from, and perhaps sample a restricted part of the ge…

Les hommes du Kébarien géométrique de Neve David, Mont Carmel (Israël)
Deux sépultures d’adultes ont été découvertes sur le site Kébarien géométrique de Neve David (Israël) daté de 13 400 et 12 610 ans BP (non calibrées). Elles viennent étayer un corpus de sépultures épipaléolithiques du Levant encore très limité. La sépulture de Neve David 1, un individu de sexe masculin, livre l’une des plus anciennes attestations de matériel de broyage associé à l’inhumation. Le traitement des défunts annonce très clairement les …

An archaeothanatological approach to the study of Minoan funerary practices
Our understanding of Minoan funerary practices in the Early and Middle Bronze Age on Crete was until recently to a large degree informed by the excavations of cemeteries that took place early in the 20th century. However, the aforementioned excavations are characterized by a significant lack of detailed archaeological data regarding the precise positions of osteological remains and the actual treatment of the body. The excavation of the Early Min…

Atteintes pathologiques de Nazlet Khater 2 et activité minière au début du Paléolithique supérieur en Egypte
The Nazlet Khater 2 (NK 2) skeleton, discovered in 1980 in Egypt, constitutes the oldest early Upper Palaeolithic modern human remains from North Africa. The association of this individual with the mining site of Nazlet Khater 4 (NK 4) provides a unique opportunity to understand the arthritis and enthesopathy lesions of this individual within a well-defined archaeological context. After elimination of the most frequent causes of enthesopathy and …

Evidence supporting an intentional Neandertal burial at La Chapelle-aux-Saints
Significance For several decades, scholars have questioned the existence of burial in Western Europe prior to the arrival of Anatomically Modern Humans. Therefore, an approach combining a global field recovery and the reexamination of the previously discovered Neandertal remains has been undertaken in the site of La Chapelle-aux-Saints (France), where the hypothesis of a Neandertal burial was raised for the first time. This project has concluded …
