Earliest floral grave lining from 13,700–11,700-y-old Natufian burials at Raqefet Cave, Mt. Carmel, Israel
Flowering plants possess mechanisms that stimulate positive emotional and social responses in humans. It is difficult to establish when people started to use flowers in public and ceremonial events because of the scarcity of relevant evidence in the archaeological record. We report on uniquely preserved 13,700–11,700-y-old grave linings made of flowers, suggesting that such use began much earlier than previously thought. The only potentially olde…
Isotopic values of plants in relation to water availability in the Eastern Mediterranean region
Plant C and N isotope values often correlate with rainfall on global and regional scales. This study examines the relationship between plant isotopic values and rainfall in the Eastern Mediterranean region. The results indicate significant correlations between both C and N isotope values and rainfall in C(3) plant communities. This significant relationship is maintained when plant communities are divided by plant life forms. Furthermore, a season…
Year-Old Twisted Fibers From Ohalo II
Palaeoclimates in Israel
Rocks and stones of massive limestone are inhabited by microorganisms that cause typical weathering patterns. The distribution of the lithobiont communities is influenced by environmental conditions. When a rock or stone is covered by soil or put into a wall of a building, the organisms die and decompose, but their weathering pattern may be preserved on the rock surface for thousands of years. Knowing the climatic affinities of the lithobiont com…
