The Early and Middle Holocene Lithic Industries of Ifri n’Etsedda (Eastern Rif, Morocco)
Open AccessManuel Broich, Alessandro Potì et al.ARTICLEAfrican Archaeological Review2021Cited by: 2References: 23
Archaeological research has been carried out in the Eastern Rif (Morocco) since 1995 by a collaborative Moroccan-German research team. A major topic of the project is the transition from hunting-gathering to food production and related cultural developments. Innovations such as pottery and domesticated species appeared around 7.6 ka calBP. The cultivation of cereals and pulses is evident at that time. Two of the most important sites in the area a…

New archaeological data on the upper Paleolithic site of cueva de Malalmuerzo (Moclín, Granada, Spain)
Open AccessLidia Cabello, Pedro Cantalejo-Duarte et al.ARTICLEMunibe Antropologia-Arkeologia2020
The Malalmuerzo cave (Moclín, Granada, Spain) has been known since the 1980s for its archaeological remains and rock art, dated to the Neolithic and the Solutrean periods respectively. However, following thirty years of neglect, our team carried out a brief archaeological intervention after looters destroyed parts of the sediment fill of the cave. The refreshing of disturbed surfaces and the examination of a small undisturbed profile produced man…
State of the Art in Paleoenvironment Mapping for Modeling Applications in Archeology—Summary, Conclusions, and Future Directions from the PaleoMaps Workshop
Open AccessChristian Willmes, Kamil Niedziółka et al.ARTICLEQuaternary2020
In this report, we present the contributions, outcomes, ideas, discussions and conclusions obtained at the PaleoMaps Workshop 2019, that took place at the Institute of Geography of the University of Cologne on 23 and 24 September 2019. The twofold aim of the workshop was: (1) to provide an overview of approaches and methods that are presently used to incorporate paleoenvironmental information in human–environment interaction modeling applications…

The rock shelter Abrigo del Molino (Segovia, Spain) and the timing of the late Middle Paleolithic in Central Iberia
Open AccessMartin Kehl, David Álvarez-Alonso et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2018
The timing of the late Middle Paleolithic and late disappearance of Neanderthals in the Iberian Peninsula are hotly debated subjects in Paleolithic archeology. Several studies suggested a late survival in South and Central Iberia until about 32 ka, but were probably subject to significant age underestimation due to contamination of dating samples, undiagnostic lithic assemblages, and/or lack of stratigraphic integrity. We conducted a radiocarbon …
Cultural contact over the Strait of Gibraltar during the Middle Palaeolithic? Evaluating the visibility of cultural exchange
Open AccessYvonne Tafelmaier, Andreas Pastoors et al.ARTICLEMunibe Antropologia-Arkeologia2018
Possible contacts between hunter-gatherers of Northern Africa and Europe via the Strait of Gibraltar during the Pleistocene are still object to discussions. In the absence of significant fossil remains, debates are mainly based on similarities and differences of singular aspects of material culture. However, a theoretical framework for these discussions was lacking. The first aim of this study thus has been the development of a theoretical base. …

Site formation and chronology of the New Paleolithic Site Sima de Las Palomas de Teba, Southern Spain
Open AccessMartin Kehl, Christoph Burow et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2016
The newly identified Paleolithic site Sima de Las Palomas de Teba hosts an almost seven-m-thick sediment profile investigated here to elucidate the rock shelter's chronostratigraphy and formation processes. At its base, the sediment sequence contains rich archeological deposits recording intensive occupation by Neanderthals. Luminescence provides a terminus ante quem of 39.4 ± 2.6 ka or 44.9 ± 4.1 ka (OSL) and 51.4 ± 8.4 ka (TL). This occupation …
Fire history reconstruction from Black Carbon analysis in Holocene cave sediments at Ifri Oudadane, Northeastern Morocco
Open AccessEva Lehndorff, Jörg Linstädter et al.ARTICLEThe Holocene2014Cited by: 3References: 5
Fire residues elucidate the where, when, and how of land use. Charcoal analysis provides insights into wood-burning practices, but is restricted by the size of identifiable particles. The present paper is the first to apply a black carbon (BC) method to archaeological sediment deposits. This method oxidizes charcoal and soot particles from the bulk sediment to benzene polycarboxylic acids (BPCAs), independent of size. Our aim was to test the pote…

New evidence for the Mousterian and Gravettian at Rio Secco Cave, Italy
M Peresani, Matteo Romandini et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2014Cited by: 29References: 8
The dearth of evidence for late Neanderthals in Europe reduces our ability to understand the demise of their species and the impact of the biological and cultural changes that resulted from the spread of anatomically modern humans. In this light, a recently investigated cave in the northern Adriatic region at the border between the Italian Alps and the Great Adriatic Plain provides useful data about the last Neanderthals between 46·0 and 42·1 ky …
Late Neanderthals at Jarama VI (central Iberia)?
Open AccessMartin Kehl, Christoph Burow et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2013
Previous geochronological and archaeological studies on the rock shelter Jarama VI suggested a late survival of Neanderthals in central Iberia and the presence of lithic assemblages of Early Upper Paleolithic affinity. New data on granulometry, mineralogical composition, geochemical fingerprints and micromorphology of the sequence corroborate the previous notion that the archaeological units JVI.2.1 to JVI.2.3 are slackwater deposits of superfloo…
The Grotta di Cala dei Genovesi – New studies on the Ice Age cave art on Sicily
Sebastiano Tusa, Gianpiero Di Maida et al.ARTICLEPraehistorische Zeitschrift2013Cited by: 9
Die Grotta di Cala dei Genovesi auf der Insel Levanzo vor der Westküste Siziliens repräsentiert ein ganz bedeutendes Beispiel spätglazialer Felskunst des Mittelmeerraumes. Die hier entdeckten Gravuren von Tieren und Menschen datieren in das späte Epigravettien (Spätpaläolithikum) und zeichnen sich durch einen naturalistischen Stil aus, der seine Parallelen in Sizilien und Süditalien findet. Mehr als fünfzig Jahre nach der ersten Dokumentation füh…
