Middle Pleistocene landscape of extraction
Evidence for large-scale Lower-Middle Paleolithic flint extraction in the southern Levant is presented in this paper. Lour Paleolithic quarry and workshop complexes are introduced as case studies. A model for Lower-Middle Paleolithic flint extraction is proposed that includes the following characteristics: 1) noteworthy physiographic settings and flint-rich limestone formations; 2) extensive landscape alteration by focused quarrying activities; 3…
Paleoindian Landscapes in Southeastern and Central New York
In 1957 and 1969, William A. Ritchie published data on geographic distributions of Paleoindian sites and points in the New York region. Discrete clusters of fluted bifaces and Paleoindian sites were apparent, variously associated with proglacial lake plains, bedrock lithic sources and other late Pleistocene landscapes. Since 2009, as part of the New York Paleoindian Database Project (NYPID), New York State Museum (NYSM) researchers and colleagues…
The First Acheulian Quarry in India
An Acheulian quarry was recently identified in the Hunsgi Valley, India. An Acheulian quarry has never been described before on the Indian subcontinent, and this is a site type that has rarely been investigated anywhere in the Old World. The Isampur quarry is at a siliceous limestone bedrock source. Surface survey and test excavations have revealed Acheulian assemblages, including a high density of chipped stone waste (i.e., cores, flakes, chunks…
