Reconstructing human–animal interactions via multiproxy analysis of dog paleofeces from the medieval Central Balkans
Human Occupation of the Central Balkans During the Last Glacial Maximum: Evidence from Serbia
This paper presents archeological data and chronometric dates documenting human presence in Serbia, central Balkans, during MIS 2. We describe findings from excavations at three cave sites and dating results from two additional localities. The evidence suggests that people were present in the area during the second half of the glacial peak between 25 and 19ka calBp. The chronological placement of these sites is complementary to what is known from…
Middle and Upper Paleolithic of the southern Pannonian Basin: Lithic assemblages from Petrovaradin Fortress (Novi Sad, Serbia)
Salitrena Pe ́ cina represents one of the key multi-occupational sites for studying the late Middle and early Upper Paleolithic in the Peripannonian region of the Northern Balkans. Here we present the findings from the cave entrance and the new (ESR) dates obtained for the Middle Paleolithic sequence of the site. The Middle Paleolithic layers (6e-6a), dated between the end of MIS 5 (c. 77 ka) to c. 40 ka, contained Mousterian assemblages with a m…
Late Middle Paleolithic and Early Upper Paleolithic of the Western Balkans: Lithic assemblages from Šalitrena Pećina (Serbia)
First insights into the Mesolithic settlement of Southern Serbia: Excavation of the Pešterija Cave in the Ponišavlje Region
Despite extensive research and excavations across the central Balkans, Early Holocene sites have so far been documented only in the Iron Gates region – for which there are several possible explanations. Some scholars argue that the apparent lack of Mesolithic sites is due to inadequate research efforts in the region, while others suggest that the ecological conditions in the central Balkans during the Early Holocene may not have been favourable t…
Resolving the “muddle in the middle”: The case for Homo bodoensis sp. nov
Recent developments in the field of palaeoanthropology necessitate the suppression of two hominin taxa and the introduction of a new species of hominins to help resolve the current nebulous state of Middle Pleistocene (Chibanian) hominin taxonomy. In particular, the poorly defined and variably understood hominin taxa Homo heidelbergensis (both sensu stricto and sensu lato ) and Homo rhodesiensis need to be abandoned as they fail to reflect the fu…
Multiproxy paleodietary reconstruction using stable isotopes and starch analysis: The case of the archaeological site of Playa del Mango, Granma, Cuba
Paleoethnobotanical and stable isotope studies have demonstrated that the indigenous groups that populated the Antilles, traditionally understood as dependent exclusively on wild resources, cultivated and consumed both C3 and C4 plants even before the arrival of the ceramic-bearing Arawak groups. However, the relative importance of cultigens and the differential use of plants, especially maize, between populations and individuals remains unknown.…
Early Neanderthals in contact: The Chibanian (Middle Pleistocene) hominin dentition from Velika Balanica Cave, Southern Serbia
Towards an interdisciplinary perspective for the study of human expansions and biocultural diversity in the Americas
Surviving the Contact. The Xavante and the Demographic Iimpact of Epidemics on Brazilian Indigenous People from Colonization to the Military Dictatorship
This article aims to analyze the case of genocide of the Xavante in Marãiwatsédé, MT by the Brazilian State during the Military Dictatorship (1964-1985) as a historical example of the scientific limits, deficiencies, and absence of public policies that, together with the dissemination of biased information, constitute the greatest obstacle to fight major epidemics, which leads to one of the greatest human rights violations, the right to life. We …
The Use of 3D Photogrammetry in the Analysis, Visualization, and Dissemination of the Indigenous Archaeological Heritage of the Greater Antilles
The development of digital technologies and the use of advanced photogrammetry programs for modeling archaeological excavations and sites have opened new possibilities for spatial analysis in archaeology and the reconstruction of archaeological contexts. In addition, these tools allow us to visually preserve the features of archaeological sites for future use and facilitate the dissemination of archaeological heritage to local communities and the…
Neanderthal settlement of the Central Balkans during MIS 5: Evidence from Pešturina Cave, Serbia
Postcranial hominin remains from the Late Pleistocene of Pešturina Cave (Serbia)
Chronology of the Archaeological Site of Playa Del Mango, Rio Cauto, Granma, Cuba
Fewer than 200 radiocarbon ( 14 C) dates with secure contextual information are available for Cuba, making it challenging to reconstruct Caribbean indigenous population dynamics, their identities and interactions. In this paper, we discussed 21 accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14 C dates from two mounds (M1 and M2) at the Playa del Mango site (Granma province, Cuba), traditionally associated with the Banwaroid stone tool tradition. The ΔR calc…
Revising the hypodigm of Homo heidelbergensis: A view from the Eastern Mediterranean
Mobile and Terrestrial but Firmly Rooted on the River Banks: Biological Anthropology of Lepenski Vir and the Iron Gates Gorge Mesolithic
Archaeological interpretation often links both the European Mesolithic and the complexity with reduced mobility and permanent or semi-permanent settlements. The Iron Gates Gorge (IGG) Mesolithic, on the banks of the Danube, with substantial formal disposal areas for the dead and canonized architecture, especially as manifested at the site of Lepenski Vir, fully conforms to this notion. Different aspects of bioarchaeological analysis – when evalua…

New Standardised Visual Forms for Recording the Presence of Human Skeletal Elements in Archaeological and Forensic Contexts
Even though visual recording forms are commonly used among human osteologists, very few of them are published. Those that are lack either detail or manipulability. Most anthropologists have to adapt these or develop their own forms when they start working on skeletal material, or have to accompany the visual forms with detailed, often time consuming, textual inventories. Three recording forms are proposed here: for adult, subadult and newborn ske…
