A MaxEnt predictive model for palaeontological sites in the Siwalik Hills
This study presents application of the MaxEnt predictive model to identify potential palaeontological sites in the Siwalik Hills, focusing on the Pinjor Formation near Chandigarh, northern India. The Siwalik region holds rich vertebrate palaeontological records, yet lacks comprehensive site prediction models. This research employs MaxEnt (3.4.0) software, to predict areas suitable for fossil occurrences. Georeferenced presence data was derived fr…
Stable isotope analysis of Late Pleistocene mammalian teeth from western, central, and north-central India and the associated Palaeolithic archaeology of the Indian Subcontinent
The oxygen (δ 18 O) and carbon (δ 13 C) ratios in bioapatite from dental tissues of fossil mammals are well-established proxies for climatic conditions and dietary patterns. In the present study, a total of 24 Late Pleistocene mammalian teeth belonging to Cervid, Bovid, Suid, Hippopotamid, Canid, Equid from Gopnath in Gujarat, ten separate localities from the Narmada Basin, and one in Son River Basin, India were analysed for δ 13 C and δ 18 O val…
Investigating possible links between Holocene environmental changes and cultural transitions across India
From the early Holocene onward, the Indian Subcontinent has accommodated a range of diverse human cultures and associated ecological adaptations and lifestyles. Around 10 kyrs ago, the Subcontinent has witnessed the development of later Mesolithic hunter-gatherers and their subsequent regional transitions to pastoralist (Neolithic) and agricultural (Chalcolithic) lifeways. The Holocene climate records reveal discrepancies in the timing and durati…
Lower Palaeolithic (Acheulean) adaptations in the central Narmada Valley
Central India represents one of the plenteous Acheulean records in the Indian Subcontinent, with over 300 occurrences of various types reported thus far. According to available chronological data, this region's antiquity of Palaeolithic occupation is tentatively dated beyond 800 ka. The central Narmada Valley, in particular, is vital as it has yielded the only known archaic hominin fossils in the entire Subcontinent and probably acted as a bio-cu…
Carbon and Oxygen Isotope Analysis of Modern Cattle (Bos indicus) Molars from the Central Narmada Valley, India
The carbon and oxygen isotopic composition of tooth enamel is connected to the diet and environment in which it develops. Enamel is invariably preserved for a long time and hence provides the best material for chemical analysis. Teeth are known to reflect a record of dietary and environmental changes taking place during their growth. This paper presents the results of intra-tooth oxygen and carbon isotope values (δ18O,δ13C) of first, second and t…
A rare depiction of a butchering scene in the rock paintings of Maser in Madhya Pradesh, India
The youngest occurrence of Hexaprotodon Falconer and Cautley, 1836 (Hippopotamidae, Mammalia) from South Asia with a discussion on its extinction
Reconnaissance of Prehistoric Sites in the Red Sea Coastal Region of the Sudan, NE Africa
This paper reports results of a recent Stone Age-focused archaeological survey in the Red Sea coastal region of the Republic of Sudan, northeast Africa. Bifaces (handaxes) are the most conspicuous artifact class encountered during the survey and are characteristic of the Acheulean technocomplex. Other recorded artifact types include points, scrapers, and prepared core products referable to the Nubian and recurrent Levallois methods. Most of the a…
New perspectives on Acheulean and Acheulean-like adaptations
New discovery of Acheulean occupation in the Red Sea coastal region of the Sudan
Inter-disciplinary perspectives on Indian paleoanthropology and prehistory
Core-and-Flake Assemblages of Central and Peninsular India
Comment on ‘Lower and Early Middle Pleistocene Acheulian in the Indian sub-continent’ by Gaillard et al. (2009) (Quaternary International)
Metrical Variability Between South Asian Handaxe Assemblages
Analytical Approaches to Palaeolithic Technologies
The Indian Subcontinent and ‘Out of Africa I’
The South Asian Paleolithic Record and Its Potential for Transitions Studies
Early Homo Occupation Near the Gate of Tears
The Lower Paleolithic of the Indian subcontinent
This broad overview highlights the Indian subcontinent as an important and exciting source of new discoveries regarding Lower Paleolithic hominins and their biological and behavioral evolution. Broadly situated in the center of the Old World, the region arbitrarily encompasses Pakistan, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Bhutan; it represents the richest easternmost domain of classic Acheulean bifaces in the Old World. 1 The region comprise…
