Multifaceted analysis reveals diet and kinship of Late Pleistocene ‘Tumat Puppies’
Open AccessAnne Kathrine Wiborg Runge, Jonas Niemann et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2025
Distinguishing early domesticates from their wild progenitors presents a significant obstacle for understanding human-mediated effects in the past. The origin of dogs is particularly controversial because potential early dog remains often lack corroborating evidence that can provide secure links between proposed dog remains and human activity. The Tumat Puppies, two permafrost-preserved Late Pleistocene canids, have been hypothesized to have been…
Magdalenian environments and ecosystems of the northern Alpine foreland
Open AccessTheoni Panagiotopoulou, Madison J Mccartin et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2025References: 102
After the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM: ~ 26.5-19.0 ka cal BP), large-scale warming resulted in glacial retreat and climatic amelioration, prompting changes to local and regional ecosystems across Eurasia during the Late Glacial. Consequently, Magdalenian hunter-gatherers reoccupied parts of Central Europe that were mostly devoid of humans during the LGM. Petersfels and Gnirshöhle (~ 17.0-13.0 ka cal BP), two Magdalenian cave sites in the Hegau Jura…
Ecology of large ungulates in the northeastern Iberian Peninsula during the Upper Palaeolithic through stable isotopes and tooth wear analysis
Open AccessD G Drucker, F Rivals et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Environments and Humans2024Cited by: 1References: 19
The northeastern Iberian Peninsula acted as a refuge zone during the Late Pleistocene where the persistence of terrestrial ecosystems could provide hunter-gatherers with large prey, mainly horse (Equus ferus) and red deer (Cervus elaphus). Isotopic (δ13C, δ18O, δ15N) and dental wear (mesowear and microwear) analyses have been applied on the remains of both species from the archaeological sites of Arbreda and Bora Gran at Serinyà (Girona), where e…

Dental Wear Evidence for Browsing and Grazing Dietary Traits in the Giant Deer from the Late Pleistocene of Central Europe
F Rivals, D G Drucker et al.ARTICLEMitteilungen der Gesellschaft für…2022
The paleoecology of the giant deer (Megaloceros giganteus), including its dietary preferences, is poorly known, mainly because reconstructions based on morphological characteristics have produced contradictory results. In this study, we propose to reconstruct the diet of the giant deer from five archaeological sites located in Southern Germany and the Harz Mountains using microwear and mesowear analyses. We also include the results of a review of…

New perspectives on human subsistence during the Magdalenian in the Swabian Jura, Germany
Open AccessGillian L Wong, Britt M Starkovich et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2020Cited by: 7References: 59
The Swabian Jura of southwestern Germany is famous for its Paleolithic sites which have been studied since the 1860s. While there is a rich tradition of research on the Magdalenian, many of the best-known sites were not excavated using modern methods, and recently, few discoveries of new sites have been made. Thus, much of the information on this period comes from sites lacking data collected using modern standards. This has left open questions r…
Environment and human subsistence in Northern France at the Late Glacial to early Holocene transition
Open AccessD G Drucker, Anne Bridault et al.ARTICLEArchaeological and Anthropological…2020Cited by: 6References: 55
The Late Glacial and early Holocene (ca. 15,000-6,000 cal BP) witnessed major changes in the environmental conditions which led to the establishment of temperate vegetation and animal species, thereby offering new subsistence opportunities to the population of hunter-gatherers. Measurements of the relative abundances in 13C and 15N were applied to large herbivores from northern France to document the change in their habitat. During the early Holo…
Étude et description de la sépulture de l’enfant de l’abri Labattut (vallon de Castelmerle, Sergeac, Dordogne, France)
Open AccessDominique Henry-Gambier, Dominique Henry‐Gambier et al.ARTICLEPaléo2019
La redécouverte du squelette de l’enfant de l’abri Labattut (vallon de Castelmerle, Sergeac, Dordogne), dégagé en 1913 par M. Castanet et « perdu » depuis sept décennies, a permis l’étude d’un ensemble inédit, comprenant le squelette de l’enfant et plusieurs dizaines de coquilles de gastéropodes.Du squelette, très dégradé à la suite des fouilles et d’une histoire chaotique postérieure à la découverte, une datation 14C a pu être effectuée. Elle in…
The dIana database – Resource for isotopic paleodietary research in the Baltic Sea area
Open AccessHeli Etu-Sihvola, H Bocherens et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2019Cited by: 5References: 43
Paleodietary research is a complex field, which requires large sets of background information. Owing to increasing interest and activity in the field, a substantial amount of archaeological isotope baseline data exist for Northern Europe, consisting mainly of animal bone collagen δ13C, δ15N, and δ34S values. However, the data are scattered into dozens of publications written in multiple languages and less-accessible formats, making the data labor…
Collagen stable isotopes provide insights into the end of the mammoth steppe in the central East European plains during the Epigravettian
Open AccessD G Drucker, R E Stevens et al.ARTICLEQuaternary Research2018
Higher δ 15 N values in bone collagen of mammoth ( Mammuthus primigenius ) compared with coeval large herbivores is a classic trait of the mammoth steppe. An exception applies to the Epigravettian site of Mezhyrich (ca. 18–17.4 ka cal BP) in the central East European plains, where mammoth bones have δ 15 N values equivalent to or in a lower range than those of horse specimens ( Equus sp.). We expanded our preliminary dataset to a larger sampling …

The First Anatomically Modern Humans from South-Eastern Europe. Contributions from the Buran-Kaya III Site (Crimea)
Open AccessSandrine Prat, Stéphane Péan et al.ARTICLECahiers du Centre de recherches…2018
The arrival of modern humans into Europe, their dispersal and their potential interactions with Neanderthals are still in debate. Whereas the first appearance of anatomically modern humans in Western Europe seems to be well understood, the situation is quite different for Eastern Europe, where data are more scarce. The Buran-Kaya III site in Crimea is of key importance to understand the colonization of Europe by anatomically modern humans and the…
