Provisioning and pastoralism along the Mongolian medieval border system: Analysis of Liao and Jin era midden faunal assemblages
Cut from the same cloth? Comparing Neanderthal processing of faunal resources at Amud and Kebara caves (Israel) through cut-marks analyses
Amud and Kebara caves (northern Israel) are two broadly contemporaneous Middle Paleolithic sites dated to ca. 70–50 Ka BP, both located in the Mediterranean realm of the southern Levant. Neanderthal occupations at these sites are represented by considerable amounts of lithic artifacts, combustion features and abundant faunal material as well as human remains. As similar mammalian taxonomic distributions were observed in these two Neanderthal cave…

International audience
Personal ornaments from Hayonim and Manot caves (Israel) hint at symbolic ties between the Levantine and the European Aurignacian
Situated at the crossroads of Africa and Eurasia, the Levant is a crucial region for understanding the origins and spread of Upper Paleolithic (UP) traditions associated with the spread of modern humans. Of the two local Early Upper Paleolithic technocomplexes, the Ahmarian and the Levantine Aurignacian, the latter appears to be unique in the endemic UP sequence, exhibiting greater similarity to the West European 'classic' Aurignacian than to the…
A new species of rhinoceros from the site of Bethlehem: ‘Dihoplus’ bethlehemsis sp. nov. (Mammalia, Rhinocerotidae)
Pleistocene amphibians and squamates from the Upper Jordan Rift Valley, Gesher Benot Ya’aqov and Nahal Mahanayeem Outlet (MIS 20–18 and MIS 4/3)
The Acheulian site of Gesher Benot Ya’aqov (GBY) and the Mousterian site of Nahal Mahanayeem Outlet (NMO) are open-air sites situated on the bank of the Upper Jordan River at its southern estuary in the Hula Valley, Israel. Both sites were deposited on the shore of a paleo-Lake Hula, a shallow body of water that persisted throughout a considerable part of the Pleistocene as a fresh-water lake. Most of the amphibian and squamate taxa recovered are…
A Mousterian Engraved Bone: Principles of Perception in Middle Paleolithic Art
The appearance of art as a constant component of human culture is attributed to several Upper Paleolithic traditions. The record of earlier artistic manifestations is rather scanty and chronogeographically varied, although crucial for studies of human behavioral evolution. Here we describe an engraved bone from the Middle Paleolithic site of Quneitra, depicting an image similar to that of another artwork found in the same layer. The results of th…

Natufian Bone Artefacts from Nahal Oren, Mt. Carmel, Israel
Nahal Oren is a large Late Natufian site, which mostly served as a burial ground. Two series of excavations were conducted on this site providing a plethora of material remains. This article deals with the bone artefact assemblage from the fi rst series of excavations on the terrace. Lack of data pertaining to stratigraphic and spatial distribution of the bone items, as well as no data concerning the faunal assemblage, permits only a basic typolo…

Spatial Organization of Hominin Activities at Gesher Benot Ya’aqov, Israel
Home Is Where the Hearth Is One aspect of human intelligence is the ability to organize our living and working spaces. It was generally thought that this capability arose with modern humans in the past 100,000 years or so. However, Alperson-Afil et al. (p. 1677 ) found evidence of domestic organization 800,000 years ago at a Pleistocene hominin campsite in the Jordan Valley. Around patches of burnt debris, the remains of a wide range of plant and…

Faunal analysis from Amud Cave: Preliminary Results and Interpretations
The Late Mousterian Neanderthal site of Amud Cave (dated ca. 70-55 kyr) is situated on the margins of the Dead Sea Rift, about 5 km northwest of the Sea of Galilee. Recent excavations at the site yielded rich lithic, faunal and human skeletal assemblages. This paper presents some characteristics of the faunal assemblages from Amud Cave, combined with pertinent results of taphonomic and micromorphological studies, and places them in the context of…

Quaternary Extinctions and Population Increase in Western Asia: The Animal Remains from Biq'at Quneitra
Cet article présente une description de la faune en provenance de Biq'at Quneitra, site moustérien de plein air, sur le plateau du Golan. Ces restes appartiennent pour la plupart à des espèces de grande taille, essentiellement des équidés et de grands bovidés, peut-être des aurochs. La comparaison avec des restes plus récents en provenance du site de Ein Gev indique une évolution (constante) dans le temps : si on trouve couramment des espèces de …

Tzur Natan, a Pre-Pottery Neolithic A Site in Central Israel and Observations on Regional Settlement Patterns
The results of salvage investigations conducted at the Pre-Pottery Neolithic A (PPNA) site of Tzur Natan are described. The site is located on the western fl anks of the Samarian Hills bordering the central coastal plain (Shephelah). The excavations revealed no architectural features but numerous cupmarked bedrock installations. The small fi nds included fl int and groundstone artefacts, as well as a small faunal assemblage. The vast majority of …
L'Apport de l'étude taphonomique des restes humains à la connaissance des pratiques funéraires: Exemple du site chalcolithique de Ben Shemen (Israël)
At the Chalcolithic site of Ben Shemen (Israel). .J. Perrot and D. Lacliray have documented a series of secondary burials in ossuaries, placed in artificial caves. In order to better understand the complex funerary procedures, the human remains have been examined from a taphonomic point of view. This study is based upon the identification of categories of bones placed in the ossuaries and the analysis of the post-mortem modifications exhibited by…

Geological and pedological aspects of an Early-Paleolithic site: Revadim, Central Coastal Plain, Israel
An Early Paleolithic site was recently discovered within a sequence of paleosols in the Revadim Quarry, central coastal plain of Israel. The section is composed of three superimposed soils in a continuous sequence, but separated by two unconformity surfaces. The uppermost paleosol is a modern Dark Brown Grumusol (Vertisol), the middle is a Quartzic Gray Brown Soil (Haploxeralf), and the lower is a Red Hamra (Rhodoxeralf). Normal magnetic polarity…
