Discussion and Debate
Within a 48-hour period during January 2014, the JMA co editors received two papers—those of Curtis Runnels and Thomas P. Leppard printed above—that, quite fortuitously, each addressed the topic of Mediterranean island colonization by archaic hominins, albeit from radically different perspectives. Neither author was aware of the other’s paper, nor has either article subsequently been revised to take account of the other. Realizing the widespread …
Reflections on Pleistocene Island Occupation
We are extremely pleased that the topic of hominin island occupation has attracted particular attention in this issue of JMA in the two fascinating and contrasting papers by Runnels and Leppard. These two papers set out to address similar questions, namely: ‘was there an early Palaeolithic human presence on the Mediterranean islands?’ and ‘why has it been so elusive?’ Even so, they come to diametrically opposed conclusions: e.g. ‘the Mediterranea…
Black Fish Bones in Waterlogged Deposits
The identification of burnt bones in archaeological sites is important as it provides evidence of human-processing activities and fire-related episodes. Past zooarchaeological analyses of burnt fish and mammal bones were mostly based on macroscopic features, such as bone color and structure, and microscopic features, such as crystallinity. Such studies, however, have shown that black coloring of bones can be caused not only by burning, but also b…
Specialisation & diversification
This paper provides a critical commentary on the definition and use of the notions of subsistence specialisation and diversification, the ways they can be applicable and meaningful in studying past subsistence strategies, and assesses their past reality drawing on examples from Late Glacial Italy (14,700 – 11,500cal BP)

Site function and the ‘ibex‐site phenomenon’
This paper focuses on ibex hunting in Italy during the Upper Palaeolithic. The faunal assemblages from five ibex‐dominated sites (Dalmeri, Arene Candide, Fumane, Villabruna and Soman) are examined with the aim of assessing the role of the sites and people's activities in the wider settlement system. These sites will be placed in their wider context of the Italian Upper Palaeolithic so as to explore the nature of variability in ibex exploitation. …
