A New Late Gravettian Mammoth Bone Deposit in Bukov, Ústí nad Labem, North Bohemia
Mammoth hunting and the exploitation of mammoth resources is one of the most characteristic features of the Gravettian culture in Central Europe. The exact nature of the mammoth-human relationship has been a subject of scientific debate since the first excavations of mammoth bone deposits in the 19th century. The newly discovered Late Gravettian bone deposit in Ústí nad Labem, North Bohemia, Czech Republic, not only shifts this archaeological phe…
The Trans-Evol project
L’apparition d’Homo sapiens il y a plus de 233 ka en Afrique (Vidal et al., 2022), est le fruit d’un processus évolutif long et complexe qui a donné naissance à de nombreuses espèces d’hominines. Le bassin du Turkana, dans le rift Est-Africain, contient une multitude de preuves archéologiques et paléontologiques illustrant ce processus. Celles-ci sont inégalement réparties sur le territoire dont de nombreuses zones restent encore largement inexpl…
New research on the Gravettian site cluster of Grub-Kranawetberg, Austria
The Grub-Kranawetberg site cluster is embedded in the rich Upper Palaeolithic landscape of the Middle Danube region. Here we present an updated list of the sites around the villages of Grub and Stillfried, summarise the setting of the Grub-Kranawetberg site cluster in the landscape and provide a detailed overview of the research history for the sites of Grub-Kranawetberg including an updated overview of the different excavation areas. This is fol…
Wearing Narratives of Identity at the Mid Upper Palaeolithic Site Complex of Grub-Kranawetberg (Austria)
A First Look at the Gravettian Open-Air Site Ollersdorf-Heidenberg (Austria)
The Middle Danube region is a key area for understanding Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherer behaviours in a climatic context due to its long loess–palaeosol sequences and rich archaeological record spanning from the onset of the Upper Palaeolithic to the Last Glacial Maximum and beyond. Recently, new approaches focusing on high-resolution studies of the stratigraphy, geoarchaeological studies at microscopic scale and investigations of organic mat…
Fire Use During the Last Glacial Maximum
The Last Glacial maximum (LGM), spanning from 26.5 to 19 thousand years before present (ka bp ), is a period of extreme climatic degradation associated with reduced biomass production and resource stress throughout Eurasia. Arguably, one of the most fundamental tools for human survival during this cold and arid period was the ability to create, maintain and use fire. While fire is widely considered a ubiquitous tool in modern human behaviour, the…
Human-Animal Interactions at Korman’ 9, Ukraine
The maximum ice sheet expansions of the Last Glacial Maximum between 26.5 and 22 ka cal BP (e. g., the maximum glacial extents Leszno and Frankfurt) are followed by a succession of interstadial (e. g., Cosăuţi V Interstadial) and stadial conditions toward the end of the Late Pleniglacial. This period is generally thought to have witnesses a European-wide decline in population density, and is characterized by a scarcity of sites. Here, we report o…
Exploring the Surrounding of a Gravettian Site. The Case Study Grub-Kranawetberg, Austria
In this report we summarize the findings of our fieldwalking survey conducted around the well-known Mid-Upper Palaeolithic (Gravettian) open-air site Grub-Kranawetberg I in Lower Austria, about 40 kilometres northeast of Vienna. In September 2021, we surveyed around 126,000 square metres using GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) to piece-plot each find. In total, we recovered 359 finds comprising lithic artefacts and faunal remains. In our …
Perforations in Columbellidae shells
Kanyimangin
The Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition (EMPT) is characterised by major environmental changes and evolutionary innovations within the genus Homo but the scarcity of the African EMPT fossil and archaeological records obscures its palaeoecological context. Here, we present archaeological and faunal evidence from a newly excavated West-Turkana EMPT site-Kanyimangin
The Trans-Evol project
The Trans-Evol project (Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition: Evolution and diversity of African hominin fossil populations) is a collaboration between the CNRS, the National Museums of Kenya and the University of Cambridge. The project is opening new archaeological excavations in West-Turkana (Kenya) to document the behavioural, cognitive and morphological diversity of hominin populations during the Early to Middle Pleistocene Transition (EMPT…
Les stations paléolithiques de Mitoc, sur le Prut (Roumanie)
Primele descoperiri paleolitice în România au avut loc în secolul al XIX-lea, în zona Mitoc (județul Botoșani). Dintre acestea, cinci stațiuni principale au beneficiat de săpături sistematice, atestând prezența unor industrii caracteristice Paleoliticului mijlociu și celui Superior (Aurignacian, Gravettian și Epipaleolitic). Unele situri au scos la lumină industrii amestecate, altele, cum este Malu Galben, se caracterizează prin industrii mai bin…

Issues of theory and method in the analysis of Paleolithic mortuary behavior
Mortuary behavior (activities concerning dead conspecifics) is one of many traits that were previously widely considered to have been uniquely human, but on which perspectives have changed markedly in recent years. Theoretical approaches to hominin mortuary activity and its evolution have undergone major revision, and advances in diverse archeological and paleoanthropological methods have brought new ways of identifying behaviors such as intentio…
Seasonal Shellfishing across the East Adriatic Mesolithic-Neolithic Transition
The Mesolithic-Neolithic transition is a classic topic of archaeological discussion, and the East Adriatic is of particular interest as a gateway region for agriculture entering Europe from the Near East. Neolithisation along the East Adriatic coast has been characterised as a two-wave process of leap-frog demographic replacement along the Dalmatian coast, followed by a longer process of acculturation further inland. Research on this transition p…
Neue Einblicke in das Gravettien von Willendorf II. Die Steinartefakte der Grabung 1993
The well-dated stratigraphic sequence of Willendorf II is a reference site for the Upper Palaeolithic in general and the Gravettian in particular. In 1993, a joint team from the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de Belgique (Brussels, Belgium) and the University of Vienna carried out excavations at this loess site in the Danube Valley known since the end of the 19th century. During the excavation season, the team recovered 391 artefacts, the…
Ancient genomes show social and reproductive behavior of early Upper Paleolithic foragers
How early human groups were organized Sequencing ancient hominid remains has provided insights into the relatedness between individuals. However, it is not clear whether ancient humans bred among close relatives, as is common in some modern human cultures. Sikora et al. report genome sequences from four early humans buried close together in western Russia about 34,000 years ago (see the Perspective by Bergström and Tyler-Smith). The individuals c…
Year-round shellfish exploitation in the Levant and implications for Upper Palaeolithic hunter-gatherer subsistence
New chronology for Ksâr ‘Akil (Lebanon) supports Levantine route of modern human dispersal into Europe
Significance Bayesian modeling of AMS radiocarbon dates on the marine mollusk Phorcus turbinatus from Ksâr ‘Akil (Lebanon) indicates that the earliest presence of Upper Paleolithic (UP) modern humans in the Levant predates 45,900 cal B.P. Similarities in early UP lithic technology and material culture suggest population dispersals between the Levant and Europe around 50,000–40,000 cal B.P. Our data confirm the presence of modern humans carrying a…
