Red deer (Cervus elaphus Linnaeus, 1758) antler exploitation strategies and technical skills among Neolithic and Transitional Chalcolithic communities of the Iranian Plateau
Stratégies d'exploitation des bois de cerf (Cervus elaphus Linnaeus, 1758) et compétences techniques des communautés du Néolithique et du début du Chalcolithique du Plateau iranien. Sur le Plateau iranien, le bois de cervidé a été une matière première utilisée par les sociétés préhistoriques au Paléolithique moyen. À la suite d'une période d'exploitation plus intense au cours du paléolithique supérieur, elle décline au cours du Néolithique, coïnc…
Between land and sea. The exploitation of marine shells from the Neolithic to the Iron age in Iran
The relationship between humans and the marine environment has played a pivotal role in the development of modern societies. The exploitation of marine resources for food and for the collection of raw materials has been an integral part of the development of human communities near coastal areas throughout the world. The circulation of raw materials, such as shells, has allowed the connections between different groups dating from the Pleistocene t…
Taphonomic effects in Archaelogical contexts
Today, it is clear that the study of malacological remains in archaeology has a great potential to reconstruct techno-economic, social, and territorial patterns in the past. In recent years, pioneering research has set a methodological basis for the study of shells from a behavioural perspective. However, taphonomic bias is still poorly understood. In this paper, we present the results of the first phase of the ArchaeoENHANCE project developed wi…
The Dead are Watching Us’
The island of Sardinia is well known for its Late Neolithic and Copper Age underground rock-cut tombs that were used over generations for collective burials. Many tombs were decorated to resemble house interiors and cemeteries are often referred to as villages of the dead. Research so far has focused on excavating stratigraphic contexts within some of these monuments, or on typological classifications of tomb plans and wall decorations, but the l…
Bone, shell tools and ornaments from the Epipalaeolithic site of Ali Tappeh, East of Alborz Range, Iran
The method of debitage by bipartition in the exploitation of bone
The shell industry in Final Neolithic societies in Sardinia
Analyses of the Neolithic and Chalcolithic industry in hard animal material from the western Mediterranean include a rich corpus of studies focusing on osseous industries. However, studies relating to the shell industry mainly concentrate on the production of ornamental objects, and the overall background of this raw material for the production of utensils used for transformation activities is not yet well known. The technological analysis of the…
