Missing Landmark Estimation Using Reverse Engineering: Challenges and Potential Solutions for the Study of Hominin Long Bones
Fragmentary preservation represents a fundamental limitation in palaeoanthropological research, particularly for postcranial elements where symmetry cannot be exploited and large portions of bone are frequently missing. Although a wide range of virtual reconstruction methods exist, many rely on strong anatomical priors, localized interpolation, or reference specimens that risk biasing reconstructions toward predefined morphologies. The present st…
Functional constraints mask species-level signals in hominid limbs: Long bone morphology and the challenge of taxonomic identification
Species boundaries are central to evolutionary biology, yet the reliability of skeletal morphology, particularly isolated postcranial elements, for diagnosing species remains unresolved. Long bones are commonly recovered in the fossil record and often used as operational taxonomic units but are shaped by functional and developmental constraints that may decouple morphological differentiation from species diagnosability. Here, morphological variat…
Is the StW 53 cranium (Sterkfontein, South Africa) the earliest evidence of tool-assisted hominin modification? New data from a neotaphonomic experiment and the virtual reconstruction of its linear ma…
New virtual approach to the study of metallurgy through the analysis of slice marks from the Chalcolithic site of Zanjillas (Torrejón de Velasco, Madrid, Spain)
Although the discovery of metal objects is not common in Chalcolithic or Bronze Age sites, the study of bone surface microscopic grooves from animal butchering can yield evidence of the use of metal artefacts in these contexts. Additionally, the presence of slice marks made with metal objects in Chalcolithic and Bronze Age sites has highlighted the use of metal in common practices beyond their ornamental application, as usually expected at the ea…
Biomechanical and taxonomic diversity in the Early Pleistocene in East Africa: Structural analysis of a recently discovered femur shaft from Olduvai Gorge (bed I)
Recent Plio-Pleistocene hominin findings have revealed the complexity of human evolutionary history and the difficulties involved in its interpretation. Moreover, the study of hominin long bone remains is particularly problematic, since it commonly depends on the analysis of fragmentary skeletal elements that in many cases are merely represented by small diaphyseal portions and appear in an isolated fashion in the fossil record. Nevertheless, the…

En busca del primer Homo: Gestión de las investigación arqueológica en la garganta de Olduvai (Tanzania)
Los yacimientos de la Garganta de Olduvai (Tanzania) constituyen un enclave único para el estudio de los primeros representantes del género Homo. La buena preservación de estos yacimientos y la cantidad de fósiles hallados en ellos posibilita que se sigan desarrollando excavaciones arqueológicas en este lugar. El equipo de investigación The Olduvai Paleoanthropology and Paleoecology Project (TOPPP), que trabaja en estos yacimientos desde 2006, pr…

The use of innovative techniques such as micro‐photogrammetry and geometric morphometrics may have a major impact on the differentiation of cut marks made with different raw materials and, thus, link butchering processes with stone tool reduction sequences. This work focuses on a sample of cut‐marked bones from the Bell's Korongo (BK) site (Upper Bed II , Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania), which is an emblematic early Pleistocene site where a large faunal…

Specialised hunting of Iberian ibex during Neanderthal occupation at El Esquilleu Cave, northern Spain
Traditional views of Neanderthal hunting strategies envisage them preying on herd species such as bison and deer, rather than the sophisticated tracking of solitary animals. Analysis of faunal remains from El Esquilleu Cave in northern Spain, however, demonstrates that during certain periods of the Middle Palaeolithic occupation, Neanderthals focused on the hunting of ibex and chamois, small solitary species that inhabited the mountainous terrain…
