Taphonomy at a Distance
Zhoukoudian is often cited as yielding some of the earliest evidence for the use of fire and as documenting "man the hunter" living in caves during the Middle Pleistocene. In addition, it is commonly believed that this important Chinese site documents cannibalism on the part of Middle Pleistocene hominids. We examine the data from Zhoukoudian with several questions in mind: (1) What are the agents responsible for the bone accumulations inside the…
Observations on the Lower Palaeolithic of Northeast Asia [and Comments and Reply]
The "chopper-chopping-tool tradition" proposed by Movius in 1948 as a characterization of Lower Palaeolithic assemblage variability in East Asia is here examined and rejected. It is argued that its uncritical acceptance in the Western literature has resulted in an inaccurate perception of technological variability and change in this vast region. A brief summary of recent primary source material clearly indicates (1) that there are variable quanti…
Upper Pleistocene Hominid Evolution in South-Central Europe
South-Central Europe has yielded rather large and significant samples of archaic and early modern Homo sapiens dated to the Upper Pleistocene. These hominid samples have received proportionately little detailed consideration in discussions of the nature of the relationship between archaic and modern Homo sapiens in Europe. The First purpose of this paper is to review this material. The second purpose of this paper is to review this material. The …

Implications of Border Cave Skeletal Remains for Later Pleistocene Human Evolution [and Comments and Reply]
Recent excavations have helped to clarify the cultural and stratigraphic sequences at Border Cave, and human skeletal remains recovered at this South African site may well be associated with a Middle Stone Age industry. A partial adult cranium is of particular interest, and this was originally described as quite different both from African Negro and from Bushman individuals. Eleven measurements were taken on the fossil, and these provide a basis …
