  • New U-series dates on the Petralona cranium, a key fossil in European human evolution

    Open AccessChristophe Falguères, Qingfeng Shao et al.ARTICLEJournal of Human Evolution2025Cited by: 2References: 40

    Assigning an age to the nearly complete cranium found in the Petralona Cave in Greece is of outstanding importance because this fossil has a key position in European human evolution. This topic has been debated since its discovery more than 60 years ago, highlighting the difficulties in applying physical dating methods to prehistoric samples. Previous results obtained on various types of samples yielded a large age range between about 170 and 700…

  • Lithic Raw Materials Used in the Middle Paleolithic Kalamakia Cave, Greece

    Elli Karkazi, Andreas Magganas et al.ARTICLEJournal of Eastern Mediterranean…2025References: 2

    This study characterizes the lithic raw materials used for knapping Middle Paleolithic artifacts at Kalamakia Cave on the Mani Peninsula, southern Greece, to identify potential procurement areas and to determine their sources. To this end, macroscopic, petrographic, and geochemical analyses were conducted. Exploited lithic raw materials included chert (black/gray, dark reddish brown, reddish), andesite (aphyric green, porphyritic purple, porphyri…

  • The Middle to Upper Paleolithic Transition in Greece

    Stefanos Ligkovanli, A DarlasARTICLEJournal of Eastern Mediterranean…2025References: 4

    The Middle to Upper Paleolithic transition in Eurasia is a major issue of the human-evolution research agenda, constituting a critical period of change in both paleoanthropological and cultural terms. Key to this research theme are the so-called transitional lithic industries, which can shed light on the nature and kind of transition(s). Since Greece constitutes a geographical crossroads of human and cultural circulation, it is a promising area f…

  • Ritual use, consumption, and depositional practices at Agriomernos Cave, Northwestern Samos (Greece)

    Open AccessSergios Menelaou, Edyta Marzec et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Archaeomaterials2024

    This study utilises pottery as a proxy to identify patterns of use and consumption, as well as depositional strategies at Agriomernos, a recently discovered cave site on Samos Island (Greece). This discovery challenges our understanding of human–landscape interaction within a marginal region across two distinct prehistoric chronological episodes. As part of a broader research project, this paper presents the results from an integrated, multiscale…

  • Beyond the walls

    Open AccessElli Karkazi, Athanassia Athanassiou et al.ARTICLEVirtual Archaeology Review2023

    The Petralona Cave, which local inhabitants discovered by chance in 1959, is a remarkable natural and cultural landmark close to the village of Petralona, in the Chalkidiki peninsula of Greece. The site has gained global recognition for the discovery of a remarkably well-preserved Palaeolithic human skull, unearthed in 1960; it also holds archaeological and palaeontological significance. In this paper, the researchers introduce the Petralona Cave…

  • First Speleothem Evidence of the Hiera Eruption (197 BC), Santorini, Greece

    Katerina Theodorakopoulou, Kostas J Kyriakopoulos et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Archaeology2020References: 5

    Speleothems are useful in detecting past geoenvironmental events. Variations in trace element concentrations may constitute a diagnostic of volcanic eruptions, enabling both dating and environmental impact assessment. This work attempts to detect possible ‘signatures’ of past volcanic eruptions in speleothems from Zoodochos Pigi cave on Santorini. Higher-than-usual concentrations of elements and minerals (e.g. barium and monazite respectively) ex…

  • Hunted or Scavenged Neanderthals? Taphonomic Approach to Hominin Fossils with Carnivore Damage

    Open AccessE Camarós, Marián Cueto et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2017Cited by: 7References: 68

    Carnivore damage on Neanderthal fossils is a much more common taphonomic modification than previously thought. Its presence could have different explanations, including predatory attacks or scavenging scenarios, which are both situations with important implications concerning Neanderthal behaviour. In the present paper, we analyse several Neanderthal hominin fossils from a taphonomic and forensic perspective in order to infer the nature of the mo…

    Le site de Mavri Myti est le premier site du Paléolithique moyen de plein air en Grèce à avoir livré une industrie en place. Celle-ci est contenue dans une mince couche de limons, qui surmontent un cordon littoral et datent de la fin du stade isotopique 5 a. Les conditions de ramassage ont permis de constater une importante concentration du matériel sur une surface très restreinte. L'industrie contient de nombreux galets aménagés, accompagnant un…
