The Middle Palaeolithic of the Pindos Range and its Neighbouring Areas: New Evidence from SMR1 (Samarina, western Macedonia, Greece)
The Middle Palaeolithic record of the southern Balkans is largely known from open-air surface scatters that are often difficult or impossible to date and lack a clear stratigraphic context. In the area close to the Pindos range, only two sites—Theopetra cave and Asprochaliko rockshelter—yielded stratified Middle Palaeolithic deposits, while Kokkinopilos presents partial stratification, although artefacts from older excavations remain difficult to…
Pointing to the Ahmarian. Lithic Technology and the El-Wad Points of Al-Ansab 1
The Ahmarian is the earliest fully fledged Upper Palaeolithic Levantine industry, and its hallmark is the el-Wad point, assumed to be a projectile implement. The Ahmarian is a blade-bladelet volumetric industry; however, bladelet production has frequently been portrayed as undifferentiated or secondary to blade production. El-Wad points are blades or bladelets with a fine to steep lateral retouch, often further shaping the tip. The role of bladel…
Techno-Functional Implication on the Production of Discoid and Levallois Backed Implements
The technological dichotomy between Discoid and Levallois methods, which accompanies the Mousterian assemblages for most of the Middle Paleolithic, is a debated topic because of the implications for Neanderthals’ behavioral complexity. We here propose and discuss the possible reasons supporting the Levallois-Discoid shift, considering part of the late Mousterian sequence of Grotta di Fumane. Among these, we include the strategies of resource expl…
Set in Stone? Discussing the early Upper Palaeolithic taxonomy using European and Levantine assemblages
The early Upper Palaeolithic marks the introduction at a continental scale of a fully-fledged laminar industry, and it is associated with the presence of Homo sapiens in the Near East and in Europe. For this period there are three commonly recognised early Upper Palaeolithic technocomplexes : the Early Aurignacian and the Protoaurignacian, in Europe, and the Early Ahmarian, in the Levant. They have been used to illustrate different dispersal rout…
