A new method for geometric analysis of mandibular features
Mandibular ramus morphology is central to paleoanthropology, yet many quantitative workflows emphasize whole-shape summaries and do not explicitly report the intrinsic geometry of particular anatomical curves and surfaces. We present an automated pipeline that extracts key features of the notch-condyle complex from three-dimensional surface meshes, positions specimens in anatomically defined reference frames, and outputs standardized object-level…

What Is the Acheulean
The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia. Originally defined in the 1870s, the term Acheulean is one of the earliest and most contested classifications i…
From edge to mark. Investigating the relationship between cut marks and lithic raw materials
Understanding the relationship between animal processing practices and stone tool use is essential for interpreting Paleolithic lifeways. These activities leave behind two key forms of archaeological evidence: butchery marks (“cut marks”) and lithic tools. While both faunal and lithic remains are critical to understanding past behaviors, they are rarely studied in an integrated framework. In particular, the characterization of cut marks produced …
Complex Behavior at the Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot YA‘Aqov, Israel
This chapter presents a review of recent reconstructions of hominin technological behavior based on the analyses of the bifacial tools assemblages excavated at the 800,000 year-old Middle Acheulian site of Gesher Benot-Ya‘aqov, Israel. Through its exceptional preservation and meticulous excavation methods, this regionally unique site provided rich assemblages of handaxes and cleavers, as well as the perfect context for their analysis, showcasing …
Revisiting the Acheulian Large Cutting Tools of ‘Ubeidiya, Israel
Combining chemical and lead isotope analyses with 3-D geometric–morphometric shape analysis
Limestone Wedges
Kaizer Hill is a Pre-Pottery Neolithic A flint and limestone quarry site situated in central Israel. During systematic collection and excavation at the site, a large quantity of limestone wedges was recovered. This study reports the results of a detailed morphological, technological and functional attribute analysis conducted on these artifacts. The results indicate that these artifacts were indeed utilized for the expansion of natural cracks and…

Agmt3-D
We present here a newly developed software package named Artifact GeoMorph Toolbox 3-D (AGMT3-D). It is intended to provide archaeologists with a simple and easy-to-use tool for performing 3-D landmarks-based geometric morphometric shape analysis on 3-D digital models of archaeological artifacts. It requires no prior knowledge of programming or proficiency in statistics. AGMT3-D consists of a data-acquisition procedure for automatically positioni…

A note on handaxe knapping products and their breakage taphonomy
The notion that broken artifacts provide a good indication of the taphonomic history of lithic assemblages is commonly accepted in prehistoric archaeology. High frequencies of broken artifacts are frequently viewed as an indication of the possible role of post-depositional processes such as high-energy fluvial transportation, trampling or plowing. Yet another alternative is that the breakage resulted from the knapping process itself.In this study…

The Acheulean Large Cutting Tool Assemblage from Rodafnidia, Lesvos
The Acheulean, a key Lower Palaeolithic technocomplex characterised by iconic large cutting tools (LCTs), is one of the most extensively studied phenomena in prehistoric archaeology. Yet its vast chrono-spatial distribution, together with the persistent tension between technological homogeneity and variability, has hindered the construction of robust cultural phylogenetic scenarios for its evolution and dispersal. One way to address this challeng…
