Archaeometric Approaches to Red Ochre Exploitation in Neolithic Greece: From Kremasti-Kilada to Kitrini Limni and Beyond
This paper approaches Greek Neolithic red ochres through three different archaeometric lenses. A macro lens zooms in on the site of Kremasti-Kilada, in the Kitrini Limni Basin, and examines its ochre nodules, their provenance, the ways they were processed, as well as the applications of the resulting colorant. A mid-range lens places the Kremasti materials within a regional framework by examining specimens uncovered at several neighboring sites i…
Natufian architecture 12,000 years ago: Analyzing ‘building stones’ at Nahal Ein Gev II
In the Southern Levant, the Natufians established a long-lasting tradition of using stones, along with other materials, for construction. Initial field observations at Nahal Ein Gev II suggested that such stones are natural blocks or cobbles that frequently underwent some kind of modification. To further investigate this pattern and better understand construction techniques and design, a protocol was developed at the site to record and analyze th…
Neither wheat, nor barley: An appraisal of the functional variability of the grinding and pounding stones from Hasankeyf Höyük, a Neolithic hunter-fisher-gatherer site on the upper Tigris
Carnelian Beads from the Early Bronze Age Fifa Cemetery, Jordan: Aspects of Technology, Use, and Exchange
Between 1989 and 1990 the Expedition to the Dead Sea Plain excavated a group of 15 tombs at the Early Bronze Age IA (c.3700–3400) cist-tomb cemetery at Fifa, Jordan. These tombs contained a variety of grave goods including beads made from carnelian. The present study employs morphometric data and microscopic indicators of manufacture and use to explore the relationship between carnelian beads, burial practices, manufacturing processes, and exchan…

Exploring Food Practices among the First Agro-Pastoral Communities of the Southern Levant. The Ground Stone Tool Perspective
The development of agro-pastoral communities in the southern Levant is associated with a diversity of dietary and food practices, as highlighted by the variability found between sites in the specific and relative occurrence of plant and animal species. The ground stone tools (GST), commonly employed to reduce something into smaller particles, are examined here in order to further explore food practices in such contexts. This article discusses how…
The Middle Paleolithic Ground Stones Tools of Nesher Ramla Unit V (Southern Levant): A multi-scale use-wear approach for assessing the assemblage functional variability
In the archaeological record, Ground Stone Tools (hereafter GST) represent an important tool group that provides invaluable data for exploring technological development and changes in resource exploitation over time. Despite its importance, Lower and Middle Paleolithic (MP) GST technology remains poorly known and understudied. The MP record of the Levant constitutes a compelling case study for exploring the nature and character of GST technology.…

Using mechanical experiments to study ground stone tool use: Exploring the formation of percussive and grinding wear traces on limestone tools
Ground Stone Tools (GST) have been identified in several Levantine archaeological sites dating to the Middle Paleolithic. These tools, frequently made of limestone, are often interpreted based on their morphology and damage as having been used for knapping flint, and sometimes for breaking animal bones or processing vegetal materials as well. However, the lack of experimental referential collections on limestone is a major obstacle for the identi…

Iron oxide geochemistry in the Great Lakes Region (North America): Implications for ochre provenance studies
Salt, Sand, and Saddles: Exploring an Intriguing Work Face Configuration among Grinding Tools
The field of macrolithic use-wear analysis has developed dramatically in recent years, but the morphological evolution of surfaces resulting from use has not received much attention. To a large extent, this neglect is due to the substantial amount of time that experiments exploring this aspect would require. This article presents a time-saving experimental program that involves rock salt and sand, used in combination with archaeological data, eth…
A human face carved on a pebble from the Late Natufian site of Nahal Ein Gev II
There is a paucity of Palaeolithic art in the southern Levant prior to 15 000 years ago. The Natufian culture (15 000-11 500 BP; Grosman 2013) marks a threshold in the magnitude and diversity of artistic manifestations (Bar-Yosef 1997). Nevertheless, depictions of the human form remain rare-only a few representations of the human face have been reported to date. This article presents a 12 000-year-old example unearthed at the Late Natufian site o…

Ground stones: A synthesis of the use-wear approach
Ochre and hide-working at a Natufian burial place
Particular stones found on Epi-Palaeolithic sites in the Levant are thought to be for grinding vegetable matter and to be essential instruments in the development of food processing. Finding an assemblage of these tools in a burial cave, the authors ask a harder question: could they have been used for processing hides with ochre? Use-wear analysis allows a positive verdict, and so the tools take their place in the ritual apparatus associated with…
