Isotopic composition of Conomurex fasciatus shells as an environmental proxy for the Red Sea
Mapping, modelling and predicting prehistoric coastal archaeology in the southern Red Sea using new applications of digital-imaging techniques
Over 3,000 shell-midden sites have been located in the southern Red Sea using digital-imaging techniques, in a combination of palaeo-landscape reconstruction and remote survey. The primary methods include digital-imaging techniques – high-resolution satellite images, false colour images and radar data. Surveying and recording these sites during excavation has also been enhanced using digital photogrammetry – allowing high-resolution site-level da…
Shell Mounds, Shell Middens, and Raised Beaches in the Cape York Peninsula
Quaternary pollen analysis in the Iberian Peninsula
Most unsuccessful palynological work is never published. As a consequence, pollen analysts waste time re-processing sterile sediments, and the available literature exhibits a uniformly positive record of success in pollen extraction. Here we report failures with Quaternary pollen analyses in the Iberian Peninsula; that is, case studies where it was not possible to extract palynomorphs for pollen counting. Both totally sterile and partially steril…
Molecular and Isotopic Demonstration of the Processing of Aquatic Products in Northern European Prehistoric Pottery
A number of charred surface residues, adhering to ceramic containers, were obtained from various coastal and inland sites in north‐west Europe dating from the sixth to the fourth millennium cal bc . In order to investigate the use of these vessels and in particular to identify any marine products, the residues were subjected to carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis. Variation in carbon isotope ratios between different samples indicated that…

Something fishy in the Neolithic? A re-evaluation of stable isotope analysis of Mesolithic and Neolithic coastal populations
The study of the proportions of stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen which survive in ancient human and animal bones offers highly suggestive indications of ancient diets. Among the most remarkable results from such investigations is the dramatic change in diet which is thought to have occurred between the Mesolithic and the Neolithic when people turned from maritime to terrestrial \nfood, from fish to meat and vegetables. The three contributio…
Thermoluminescence Dates and a New Analysis of the Early Mousterian From Asprochaliko
The “older fill” of the voidomatis valley, North-west Greece and its relationship to the Palaeolithic archaeology and glacial history of the region
Palaeolithic Investigations at Klithi
Field-work in 1984 and 1985 centred on the Klithi rockshelter has combined excavation and analysis of finds with palaeoenvironmental and palaeogeographical studies of the wider regional setting. Radiocarbon dates show that the deposits so far excavated extend from 10,000 BP to 17,000 BP. Excavations have concentrated on the uppermost levels (10,000 BP to 12,500 BP) immediately accessible below the surface, in order to develop methods for investig…
Palaeolithic Investigations in Epirus
Evidence of Palaeolithic occupation in Epirus discovered in 1962 by the late E. S. Higgs is re-analysed, especially that from Asprochaliko and Kastritsa. The paper also presents the results of the first season's excavations at the rock-shelter of Klithi, which throws light on problems connected with the interpretation of the earlier excavation and the different functions of the two sites. The new excavations demonstrate that Klithi contains a ric…
Hunter-gatherer economy in prehistory
Asprochaliko and Kastritsa
This paper sets out the detailed stratigraphy and chronology of the palaeolithic rockshelters of Asprochaliko and Kastritsa excavated in the 1960s, the methods used by the original investigators in excavation and classification of the finds, and the general characteristics of the stone industries and fauna. Methods of estimating the density of finds are discussed. Estimates of time density — the number of specimens accumulated per unit area per u…
Site exploitation territories and topography
Concepts of Time in Quaternary Prehistory
Infrastructures are material forms that allow for the possibility of exchange over space. They are the physical networks through which goods, ideas, waste, power, people, and finance are trafficked. In this article I trace the range of anthropological ...Read More
Concepts of resource exploitation
This paper focuses on the underlying concepts that have influenced explanations of long‐term economic change associated with the development of prehistoric agriculture. Existing classificatory schemes, derived from the hunter‐gatherer/farmer dichotomy or from concepts of resource husbandry, tend to emphasise discontinuities in the process of economic change or continuities, respectively. An attempt to reconcile these contradictory viewpoints is m…
