Eels, Beavers, and Horses: Human Niche Construction in the European Late Upper Palaeolithic
This paper examines interactions between co-occupants of riverine niches in north-west Europe during the Late Upper Palaeolithic using both ecological and archaeological data. It is argued that consideration of both the Lateglacial record and autecology of eel, beaver and horse supports a reinterpretation of some famous but enigmatic panels of Magdalenian mobiliary art as representations of eel fishing, along with horse and beaver exploitation in…
Palaeolithic ceramic technology: The artistic origins and impacts of a technological innovation
Ornamental traditions in the Eastern Adriatic: The Upper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic personal adornments from Vela Spila (Croatia)
Making art, making society: The social significance of small-scale innovations and experimentation in Palaeolithic portable art
This paper discusses how the making of art – the materials, techniques, and gestures used during production – was culturally meaningful and socially variable during the European Upper Palaeolithic. Although much previous research has focused on persistent and functional innovations, studying small-scale and ephemeral innovations reveals the extent to which technological experimentation had an impact on artistic expression. Comparing the record of…
Technologies of Art: A Critical Reassessment of Pavlovian Art and Society, UsingChaîne OpératoireMethod and Theory
This paper studies social, material, and technological variation in Paleolithic "art" production. The approach builds on the premise that studying material choices and modification sequences reveals meaningful information about the individuals and society that created the art. Art technologies, rather than appearance, "style," or iconography, are the focus of inquiry. This paper uses chaîne opératoire methodology to analyze portable art from cult…
The Significance of Social Gestures and Technologies of Embellishment in Paleolithic Portable Art
New finds of Upper Palaeolithic decorative objects from Předmostí, Czech Republic
Two new examples of decorative art have turned up at the Gravettian site of Předmostí, dating to the twenty-sixth to twenty-fifth millennium BP: rectilinear grid patterns are executed on one side of flat bones, probably of reindeer. The authors speculate that the two pieces may have come from a single larger decorated object. The grids themselves join a growing repertoire of patterns known from Upper Palaeolithic society, but their role remains e…
