Neanderthal landscapes in southern Europe
Environment and hunting territories for Late Neanderthals in central Italy: New palaeoecological data from Grotta dei Santi (Monte Argentario – Tuscany, Italy)
The Mousterian sequence of Grotta dei Santi (central Italy) is dated to MIS 3. • Palynological study of hyaena coprolites reconstruct the vegetation landscapes. • The Late Pleistocene vegetation in the Grotta dei Santi shows temperate climatic conditions. • The regional pollen comparison constrained the Neanderthal presence in the GI-12. • Neanderthals did not abandoned the cave and the surrounding area for environmental stress. The Italian penin…
The palaeoenvironmental context of MIS 3 and the use of plants by Neanderthal groups in southern Italy: Results from the Riparo l’Oscurusciuto site
Phytolith and pollen allow reconstruction of vegetation over 12,200 ka. • Vegetation is shifting from forests to open areas along the studied sequence. • Siliceous aqueous microremains indicates moisture conditions within the site. • Use of Poaceae plants and ash scattering revealed by study of sediments and hearths. • High phytolith dissolution is due to calcium carbonate rich sediments. Neanderthal populations occupied caves and rockshelters ac…
Greening a lost world: Paleoartistic investigations of the early Pleistocene vegetation landscape in the first Europeans' homeland
The scarcity of pictorial reconstructions focusing on Quaternary flora and vegetation prompts a reevaluation of traditional zoocentrism in future paleoartistic research. Here we present paleoartistic renderings depicting vegetation landscapes around the Orce Archaeological Zone (OAZ), encompassing sites dating from 1.6 to 1.2 million years ago during the Early Pleistocene of the Guadix-Baza Basin in southern Spain. Four pieces are based on fossil…
The Early Upper Palaeolithic in Cueva del Arco (Murcia, Spain) and Its Contextualisation in the Iberian Mediterranean
In this article, we present the results of the research carried out at the Gravettian occupation level of Cueva del Arco (Spain). For this purpose, a multidisciplinary investigation has been carried out in which all the elements recovered in the excavations carried out since 2015 at this site have been studied. The results are contextualised alongside all of the existing Gravettian sites in Mediterranean Iberia. The study of the material culture,…
Neanderthal hunting grounds: The case of Teixoneres Cave (Spain) and Pié Lombard rockshelter (France)
The study of Neanderthal-Environment interactions very often lacks precise data that match the chrono-geographical frame of human activities. Here, we reconstruct Neanderthals’ hunting grounds within three distinct habitats using dental microwear analysis combined with zooarchaeological data. The predation patterns toward ungulates are discussed in term of frequency (NISP/MNI) and potential meat intake (MAM). Unit IIIa of Teixoneres Cave (MIS 3, …
