Mousterian occupations in Dalmatia, Croatia
New dates from Mujina pećina, obtained through optically stimulated luminescence (OSL), provide the earliest radiometric dates yet recorded from an archaeological site in Dalmatia, Croatia. Associated Mousterian artefacts indicate that humans were present in this part of the Adriatic region c . 30 000 years earlier than previously believed.
Adriatic Explorations
Neolithization is one of a handful of major social and economic processes that affected the entire Mediterranean, even if in quite different ways across different periods and regions. Everywhere, however, its impact was substantial, affecting also other parts of Europe and West Asia. It is therefore with good reason that the study of Neolithization has a long and distinguished track-record going back, at least, to the work of Childe, who first ch…
Adriatic Hunters, Fishers and Herders
Excavations at Žukovica Cave (Korčula Island, Croatia) have yielded evidence of Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic occupations. A layer dated to 6400–5900 cal BC contained commingled lithics, potsherds, wild and domesticated animal bones, mollusk shells, personal ornaments and human remains attributable to the latest hunter-gatherers and the earliest farmers in the region. We argue that people who practiced these different subsistence strategies…

Neolithic settlement and paleopedological changes during the Middle Holocene in northern Sardinia (Italy)
Sardinia is the second biggest island in the Mediterranean region and has been intensely settled since the Middle Holocene (c.7750 BP). Despite a large number of documented Neolithic archaeological sites, very little is known about human-environmental interactions, including land use and domestic activities associated with the emergence and expansion of Neolithic settlements (c. 7750 and 5500 BP). To shed new light on these issues, we carried out…

A refined chronology for the Middle and early Upper Paleolithic sequence of Riparo Mochi (Liguria, Italy)
The Riparo Mochi rock shelter, located on the Ligurian coast of Italy, is one of the most important early Upper Paleolithic sites on the Mediterranean rim. Its ∼10-m-deep stratigraphy comprises a Mousterian sequence, followed by various development stages of the Upper Paleolithic. A series of radiometric dates on marine shells bearing traces of human modification has provided a chronological framework for the final Mousterian and the Proto-Aurign…
Contemporaneity of Australopithecus , Paranthropus , and early Homo erectus in South Africa
Dating the Drimolen hominins Fossil hominins from South Africa are enriching the story of early human evolution and dispersal. Herries et al. describe the geological context and dating of the hominin-bearing infilled cave, or palaeocave, at a site called Drimolen in South Africa (see the Perspective by Antón). They focus on the age and context of a recently discovered Homo erectus sensu lato fossil and a Paranthropus robustus fossil, which they d…

Palynological and Archaeological Evidence for Ritual Use of Wine in the Kura-Araxes Period at Aradetis Orgora (Georgia, Caucasus)
Pollen and non-pollen palynomorphs from two zoomorphic Kura-Araxes vessels (ca. 3000 b.c.) from Aradetis Orgora suggest they were utilized for the ritual consumption of wine and likely represent the beginning of the enduring tradition of animal-shaped wine-drinking containers in Georgia. This hypothesis is supported by archaeological and geoarchaeological data: they resemble later wine-containing vessels from Georgia and elsewhere and were found …

The dawn of dentistry in the late upper Paleolithic
Objectives Early evidence for the treatment of dental pathology is found primarily among food‐producing societies associated with high levels of oral pathology. However, some Late Pleistocene hunter‐gatherers show extensive oral pathology, suggesting that experimentation with therapeutic dental interventions may have greater antiquity. Here, we report the second earliest probable evidence for dentistry in a Late Upper Paleolithic hunter‐gatherer …

Ambiguities in human and elephant interactions? Stories of bones, sand and water from Castel di Guido (Italy)
Shepherds and karst
Several Neolithic to Iron Age sites of the Mediterranean region contain archaeological sediments, called fumiers, which are composed mainly of burnt animal dung and vegetal remains, and are commonly interpreted as the product of pastoral activities. Here we address three main topics about these sediments, which occur almost exclusively in the entrance areas of karstic caves and rockshelters: their characteristics; methodological aspects of their …

Sedimentology and soil micromorphology of the late Pleistocene and early Holocene deposits of Grotta dell'Edera (Trieste Karst, NE Italy)
The deposits of Grotta dell'Edera have been studied by both standard sedimentological and soil micromorphological techniques, and have been divided into four main stages. The two older ones have not been dated, as they did not yield any human artefacts; nevertheless, according to their stratigraphic position and sedimentological-micromorphological characteristics, they may be considered as Tardiglacial. They testify to a thermoclastic event follo…

Prehistoric shepherds and caves in the Trieste Karst (Northeastern Italy)
One of the basic problems in the prehistoric studies of the Trieste Karst (northeastern Italy) is that of understanding the use of the numerous caves, which represent the only sites known from Palaeolithic to Middle Bronze Age. Recent sedimentological and soil micromorphological analyses add new data to the traditional archaeological ones. In our opinion, the data should be approached from other than an exclusively chronotypological point of view…
Datation ESR de dents d’aurochs du site Paléolithique inférieur de Castel di Guido (Italie)
Le site de Castel di Guido a été découvert en 1970. C’est un site de plein air qui se situe à environ 20 km au nord-ouest de Rome (Italie). Des restes d’Anténéandertaliens (Homo heidelbergensis) ont été découverts associés à une industrie acheuléenne riche en bifaces en os et à de nombreux restes fauniques. Ce site avait déjà fait l’objet d’une première série de datations de dents et d’ossements de grands mammifères par la méthode U-Th. Les âges …
