Reconstructing the Life History of Double Perforated Ivory Beads from the Swabian Aurignacian
Aurignacian ivory beads provide valuable insights into ivory-working techniques, labour investment, production organisation, and the symbolic behaviour of Early Upper Palaeolithic people. Although decades of research have led to a detailed understanding of the chaîne opératoire of these iconic beads, systematic approaches for identifying and interpreting manufacturing- and use-related traces remain limited. Using 74 double perforated ivory beads …
Annual Report from the Chair of the GfU 2024

Vorwort / Foreword
On the Authenticity of Two Presumed Paleolithic Female Figurines from the Art Market
In March 2022, an auction house in Zurich sold two female figurines made from mammoth ivory, along with other prehistoric artefacts. This is a rare occurrence because the scarcity and value of Paleolithic figurines have limited their presence in the international art market. Researchers from the Archaeological Museum Hamburg and the University of Tübingen subsequently undertook in situ and non-destructive investigations to illuminate the authenti…

Oscar Fraas – Pionier der urgeschichtlichen Forschung Zentral-europas und neue Erkenntnisse zu den Funden der Ausgrabung 1870/71 im Hohle Fels bei Schelklingen
Oscar Fraas was one of the first natural scientists to establish the existence of Ice Age humans. From November 1854 until 1894, he held various positions in the Royal Natural History Cabinet in Stuttgart. As early as the 1860s, he conducted a series of experiments to explain and understand how traces and scratches on Ice Age bone fragments were made. His work is among the first attempts in the world to use Stone Age tools. These were often spont…

Frauendarstellungen der jüngeren Altsteinzeit – Forschungsgeschichte und Interpretationen
In der jüngeren Altsteinzeit zwischen 42 000 und 11 700 Jahren vor heute fertigten eiszeitliche Menschen in Eurasien weibliche Figurinen. Die weiblichen Darstellungen wurden aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen wie Mammutelfenbein, Sand- oder Kalkstein, Ton, Speckstein, Kreide und Gagat geschnitzt. Die Nutzung von Elfenbein für das Schnitzen von Frauenfiguren war besonders häufig. Die Mehrzahl der Figurinen ist zumeist füllig und nahezu unbekleidet darg…

On the Status of the Boar Tooth Artifact from the Backdirt of Vogelherd
During the course of the excavations in the backdirt of Vogelherd in 2008, the crew recovered a tusk of a boar preserving clear signs of anthropogenic modification. In addition to the polishing that regularly occurs on tusks during the life of the animal, this specimen, showed signs of cut- ting, scraping and polish subsequent to the animal’s death. This artifact superficially resembles a Magdalenian female figurine with a triangular buttock and …
Foxes in Retrospect—Unraveling Human-Fox Relationships through Fox Tooth Ornaments in the Swabian Jura
Personal ornaments play an important role in our understanding of human cultural and behavioral change during the Upper Paleolithic, providing insights into intangible aspects of human cultural behavior. Some ornament forms are better studied than others, and fox tooth ornaments, despite their frequent occurrence and broad spatiotemporal span, are relatively under-addressed. Here we present the first comprehensive study of 40 perforated fox teeth…

Der abenteuerliche Weg der Vogelherd-figurinen – von ihrer auffindung bis heute
Die Vogelherd-Figuren wurden unter Leitung des Urgeschichtlers Gustav Riek 1931 in der Vo- gelherd-Höhle bei Niederstotzingen ausgegraben. Riek hatte offensichtlich eine starke Bindung zu den Figurinen. Sie zählen zu den ältesten figürlichen Kunstwerken der Welt. Ihre Auffindung wird hier diskutiert. Die Aufbewahrung der Figuren seit 1931 bis heute hat eine wechselvolle Geschichte, die hier erstmalig mittels Einsichtnahme in die Akten des Archivs…
Molluscs of the Genus Glycymeris from Vogelherd Cave near Niederstotzingen (Lonetal, Southwestern Germany)
The site of Vogelherd in the Lone Valley of southwestern Germany has become world famous for its many unique artworks made from mammoth ivory, personal ornaments, flute fragments, lithic artifacts, and antler and bone artifacts. In the study below, the molluscs from Vogelherd are presented, offering us new insights on the mobility and social behavior of Aurignacian groups in the Lone Valley. Some of the mollusc finds come from the 1931 excavation…
Early anthropogenic use of hematite on Aurignacian ivory personal ornaments from Hohle Fels and Vogelherd caves, Germany
The Aurignacian (ca. 43-35 ka) of southwestern Germany is well known for yielding some of the oldest artifacts related to symbolic behaviors, including examples of figurative art, musical instruments, and personal ornaments. Another aspect of these behaviors is the presence of numerous pieces of iron oxide (ocher); however, these are comparatively understudied, likely owing to the lack of painted artifacts from this region and time period. Severa…
Hat the recent restoration of the Lion Man figurine of Hohlenstein-Stadel Cave tells us about its treatment in the Early Upper Palaeolithic
In 1939, excavators uncovered in Hohlenstein-StadelCave nearly 200 mammoth ivory fragments that were refitted as a therianthrope figurine with the head and upper body of a cave lion and the lower body and legs of a human being. It was named the Lion Man. During recent excavations (2008 to 2013) in the StadelCave , a stratigraphic sequence extending from the Middle Palaeolithic to the Aurignacian was discovered. It became clear that the location o…
The Use of Ochre and Painting During the Upper Paleolithic of the Swabian Jura in the Context of the Development of Ochre Use in Africa and Europe
While the earliest evidence for ochre use is very sparse, the habitual use of ochre by hominins appeared about 140,000 years ago and accompanied them ever since. Here, we present an overview of archaeological sites in southwestern Germany, which yielded remains of ochre. We focus on the artifacts belonging exclusively to anatomically modern humans who were the inhabitants of the cave sites in the Swabian Jura during the Upper Paleolithic. The pai…

Personal Ornaments of the Swabian Aurignacian
In the caves of the Swabian Jura (Southwest Germany) excavators found numerous mammoth ivory remains, which date to the Aurignacian. Among them were at least 600 beads. These beads come from the well stratified layers of Hohle Fels cave in the Ach Valley, while others derive from the backdirt in front of the Vogelherd cave in the Lone Valley, which was completely emptied during the excavation 1931. We give an overview about the variety of forms o…

La parure aurignacienne du Jura souabe
Lors des fouilles dans les grottes du Jura souabe (dans le sud-ouest de l’Allemagne), de nombreux restes en ivoire de mammouth datant de l’Aurignacien ont été trouvés, comprenant au moins 600 perles. Ces perles proviennent de couches bien stratifiées de la grotte de Hohle Fels dans la vallée de l’Ach, ainsi que de déblais de fouilles du devant de la grotte de Vogelherd dans la vallée de la Lone. Ce dernier site a été entièrement vidé pendant la f…
