Cultural and social innovations in southwestern China during the Pleistocene-Holocene transition
Middle Paleolithic Bone Technology at the Abri Suard Site (Charente, France)
Beyond formal implements: How expedient bone tools shaped winter survival strategies at Shuidonggou Locality 12
An overview of the origin and developmental trajectory of expedient bone tool during the Early and Middle Paleolithic in China
Pleistocene bone tools can be categorized into two primary types based on a technological organization approach: (1) expedient bone tools, i.e., bone fragments bearing little or no modifications and that were used as such, and (2) formal bone tools, i.e., bone remains shaped into specific morphologies with specific techniques such as grinding, scraping, carving and cutting, etc. In contrast to the latter group of tools, which became widespread in…
Deep Learning-Based Computer Vision Is Not Yet the Answer to Taphonomic Equifinality in Bone Surface Modifications
The concept of equifinality is a central issue in taphonomy, conditioning an analyst’s ability to interpret the formation and functionality of palaeontological and archaeological sites. This issue lies primarily in the methods available to identify and characterise microscopic bone surface modifications (BSMs) in archaeological sites. Recent years have seen a notable increase in the number of studies proposing the use of deep learning (DL)-based …
Identification and quantification of projectile impact marks on bone: New Experimental Insights Using Osseous Points
Shifts in projectile technology potentially document human evolutionary milestones, such as adaptations for different environments and settlement dynamics. A relatively direct proxy for projectile technology is projectile impact marks (PIM) on archaeological bones. Increasing awareness and publication of experimental data sets have recently led to more identifications of PIM in various contexts, but diagnosing PIM from other types of bone-surface…
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…
Changes and Consistencies in Bone Technologies as a Sign of Cultural Transition About 4000 Years Ago in Eastern China: Insights from the Yinjiacheng Site, Shandong, China
The study of cultural changes associated with the emergence of complex societies in Ancient China has heavily relied on evidence from ceramics, lithic technologies, changes in settlement pattern, burial practices, and prestige goods. However, it remains unclear whether, and if so to what extent, other aspects of material culture follow similar evolutionary trajectories. Here, we analyze a large bone tool assemblage found in Longshan (n = 76) and …
Disentangling carcass processing activities and the state of worked hide from use-wear patterns on expedient bone tools: A preliminary experiment
Cross-comparison of classical sources, explorer and scientific reports and maps in the search of an ancient city: The example of Raphana of the Decapolis
Establishing the precise location of ancient cities constitutes a challenging task that requires the implementation of multi-disciplinary approaches. In his manuscript entitled "Raphana of the Decapolis and its successor Arpha: The search of an eminent Greco-Roman city", Kleb (2022) proposes a convincing argument building on in-depth research of classical literary sources, literature review of explorer accounts and scientific publications from th…

Birds and prehistoric humans in North China: A taphonomic analysis of the avian assemblage from Shuidonggou Locality 12
A Century of Archaeological Heritage Protection and Exhibition in China
Over a century ago, in order to curb the looting and trafficking of archaeological relics and alongside the development of modern archaeological excavation protocols in the region, China introduced a legal framework to protect its archaeological heritage. Over the years, the concept of heritage protection and exhibition has undergone three major developments closely intertwined with the country’s political and social contexts. The present review …
Zhoukoudian Upper Cave personal ornaments and ochre: Rediscovery and reevaluation
Further Evidence of Organic Soft Hammer Percussion and Pressure Retouch from Lingjing (Xuchang, Henan, China)
Opinions on the nature and distinctiveness of the Chinese Paleolithic differ between those who assign early Late Pleistocene lithic technologies to some peculiar facies of the Middle Paleolithic, and those who interpret them as reflecting the persistence of essentially Lower Paleolithic traditions. The absence of Levallois debitage and organic soft hammers are often used as arguments, amongst others, in favor of the second hypothesis. Here, we re…

Status and diet in precontact highland ecuador
Excavation at the Ecuadorian highland site of La Florida in suburban Quito revealed six deep shaft tombs yielding high‐status individuals (n = 9) as well as apparent sacrifices and other low‐status individuals (n = 23). Determination of sex and age at death of the recovered skeletal remains resulted in a sample of 32 individuals aged from approximately 7 to 50 years of age. The sample of 18 individuals over the age of 18 years included 14 females…
