Neanderthal had a “crush” on fats. Macronutrient estimation in Middle Paleolithic (Late Mousterian) hunter-gatherers of southern Italy
During the Late Mousterian period Apulia (southeastern Italy) was characterized by frequent and prolonged aridity that could have caused the scarcity of vegetable foods and, consequently, a lack of important nutritional compounds. Zooarchaeological studies from several Mousterian contexts show that Apulian Neanderthals may have responded to this crisis by increasing the exploitation of ungulates. In particular, bone grease rendering was likely on…
Early Epigravettian backed pieces from layer O of Grotta della Cala (Southern Italy). A techno-typological and use-wear integrated approach
Integrated techno-typological and use-wear analyses of Epigravettian backed pieces. • Occurrence of lithic projectiles in the form of backed and shouldered points. • Backed pieces potentially associated with piercing and cutting activities. • Manufacture of backed pieces locally documented. • Introduction of armatures made of allochthonous raw materials into the site. Although hunting was the main subsistence activity of Palaeolithic hunter-gathe…
The Uluzzian and Châtelperronian
The Châtelperronian and Uluzzian techno-complexes are identified in western Europe in the same stratigraphic position, between the late Middle Palaeolithic and other Upper Palaeolithic assemblages. Both industries include retouched artefacts with abrupt retouch and arched backs, and radiometric dating indicates that these two technocomplexes belong to the same window of time. Here, we provide a detailed, qualitative technological comparison of tw…
Environment and hunting territories for Late Neanderthals in central Italy
The Mousterian sequence of Grotta dei Santi (central Italy) is dated to MIS 3. • Palynological study of hyaena coprolites reconstruct the vegetation landscapes. • The Late Pleistocene vegetation in the Grotta dei Santi shows temperate climatic conditions. • The regional pollen comparison constrained the Neanderthal presence in the GI-12. • Neanderthals did not abandoned the cave and the surrounding area for environmental stress. The Italian penin…
Grotta della Lea, a new Early Epigravettian site in southern Italy (Uluzzo Bay)
Not just a technique! An experimental approach to refine the definition of the bipolar anvil reduction in the Uluzzian
The arrival of Homo sapiens in the Near East and Europe
Less is more! Uluzzian technical behaviour at the cave site of Castelcivita (southern Italy)
O primeiro povoamento do Homo sapiens na Itália
O Uluzziano é um tecno-complexo que data entre aproximadamente 45.000 a 40.000 anos AP, e está associado ao período em que os Neandertais desaparecem e tem-se o início do sinal arqueológico do Homo sapiens na Europa. Este tecno-complexo foi inicialmente descrito tipologicamente, com base nos materiais encontrados em Grotta del Cavallo (Salento, Puglia, sudeste da Itália). Sua caracterização inicial indicou que apresentava características que gera…

Settlement, space organization and land-use of a small Middle Bronze Age community of central Italy. The case study of Gorgo del Ciliegio (Arezzo-Tuscany)
Neandertal camps and hyena dens. Living floor 150A at Grotta dei Santi (Monte Argentario, Tuscany, Italy)
An overview of Alpine and Mediterranean palaeogeography, terrestrial ecosystems and climate history during MIS 3 with focus on the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition
Peopling dynamics in the Mediterranean area between 45 and 39 ky ago
An overview of Alpine and Mediterranean palaeogeography, terrestrial ecosystems and climate history during MIS 3 with focus on the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition
This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge about the millennial scale climate variability characterizing Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) in S-Europe and the Mediterranean area and its effects on terrestrial ecosystems. The sequence of Dansgaard-Oeschger events, as recorded by Greenland ice cores and recognizable in isotope profiles from speleothems and high-resolution palaeoecological records, led to dramatic variations in glacier extent…

The dawn of dentistry in the late upper Paleolithic
Objectives Early evidence for the treatment of dental pathology is found primarily among food‐producing societies associated with high levels of oral pathology. However, some Late Pleistocene hunter‐gatherers show extensive oral pathology, suggesting that experimentation with therapeutic dental interventions may have greater antiquity. Here, we report the second earliest probable evidence for dentistry in a Late Upper Paleolithic hunter‐gatherer …

New challenges in the study of lithic raw materials in central Italy at the dawn of metal working societies
In central-southern Tuscany radiolarite has been used as a lithic raw material throughout prehistory. During the Copper Age it was selected for the local production of leaf-shaped artefacts. In the area considered, the Copper Age record is almost totally restricted to burials and virtually no settlements have been investigated so far. Radiolarite artefacts are found mostly as refined arrow and, possibly javelin, heads used as grave goods.Within t…

Dietary Variability During Bronze Age in Central Italy
This research aims at delineating the dietary practices in Central Italy during the Bronze Age. The study of food choices is a mean for investigating palaeoenvironmental agricultural and economic activities and social relationships, which have been little explored until now in Italy from this specific perspective. Recent researches have showed that the Middle Bronze Age is a crucial period of dietary changes in Italy. Following these first observ…
