Dental Evidence for Dietary Practices in the Chalcolithic Period: The Findings from a Burial Cave in Peqi'in (Northern Israel)
Archaeological data mark the southern Levantine Chalcolithic as a period of great change at the economic and socio-political levels. At the economic level these include intensive cereal cultivation, the cultivation of fruit trees and the utilization of secondary animal products. At the socio-political level the changes include a higher level of socio-political complexity. The analysis of the human dentition has long been used by anthropologists a…

Transhumance among European Settlers in Atlantic Canada
Until recently in Newfoundland, southern Labrador and an adjoining part of Qu6bec, many of the coastal fishing population regularly migrated to the forests or other zones for the winter. The principal motivations were: firewood, shelter, hunting, fur-trapping and fishery gear production. This was one of several forms of seasonal migration by families and communities that characterized the area for nearly three centuries. The practice, unusual amo…
Artificial cranial deformation in the Proto-neolithic and Neolithic Near East and its possible origin: Evidence from four sites
La discussion sur la déformation crânienne artificielle observée au Proche Orient au Néolithique, amorcée par Lambert à partir de six crânes trouvés sur le site de Ganj Dareh (Iran) est reprise ici. Lambert considérait, pour la région, ces crânes comme étant les plus anciens ayant pu être affectés par une pareille altération. Le matériel de Ganj Dareh réétudié est confronté aux conclusions obtenues à partir de matériel trouvé sur trois autres sit…
Prehistoric, prehistory, prehistorian … who invented the terms
Who first used a word for the idea of ‘prehistory’? Chippindale, in a paper published last year, tried to clear up this old confusion once and for all. He failed. Here are more answers to the question — a matter of real historical importance since the invention of a prehistoric past was so central to the 19th-century development of archaeology
Gashed Clay Cones at Ganj Dareh, Iran
In the early Neolithic site of Ganj Dareh many of the clay cones have been deliberately modified by gashes stabbed into the plastic material. The purpose is unclear. The feature may be peculiar to this site
Architectural innovation and experimentation at Ganj Dareh, Iran
Ganj Dareh is an early neolithic mound site in the central Zagros mountains of western Iran in which the mud‐based architecture is unusually well preserved. Level D, which was burnt, has clustered two‐story structures with many small cubicles. It reveals several methods of brick making and wall construction, as well as unusual mortice‐and‐tenon devices, 'storage bins' made of prefabricated clay slabs, and many 'portholes' and 'plugs' in the walls…
Transhumant Europeans Overseas: The Newfoundland Case
Un nouveau sondage sur la terrasse d'El Ouad, Israël
A re-examination of the deposits at El-Wad Terrace was carried out in 1980-81. Layers B.2 (Early Natufian) and B.I (Late Natufian) were found as described by Garrod. The uppermost layer A is disturbed but the flint industry can be classified as an evolved Natufian, recently named Final Natufian. Together with Mallaha (Eynan), the sequence of El-Wad is therefore the longest presently known among Natufian sites. The paper presents the lithic indust…

Fabrication expérimentale de répliques d'un vase néolithique du site de Ganj Dareh, Iran: Recherche Technologique
Un petit vase en terre du site néolithique de Ganj Dareh (Iran) qui date du 8e millénaire avant J.-C. est examiné. Fabriqué en deux moitiés séparées, un nombre d'hypothèses sont présentées pour mieux comprendre les méthodes de fabrication suivies. Des expériences ont été conduites pour tester plusieurs de ces hypothèses. Les résultats de l'étude, quoique non définitifs, suggèrent que deux des huit hypothèses sont plus plausibles que les autres, e…

Changes in population pressure in archaeological explanation
Changes in population pressure, resulting from increased or decreased population density in relation to land and resources, can be usefully considered as a causal factor in producing many of the phenomena studied by archaeologists. This seems to be true in both food‐extracting and food‐producing societies, and is linked to land use and labour input. A number of possible cases are suggested here, and the implications for archaeological interpretat…

A Fluted Point from the Old World
A small bifacial foliate from the Solutrean of France suggests that fluted points, whether made accidentally or otherwise, may occur occasionally in the Old World. However, there seems to be no historic relationship with those of the New World

Fluted Points in Paris
The Vesignié collection of North American stone artifacts, at the Institut de Paléontologie Humaine in Paris, contains a number of fluted points from Illinois, Kentucky, Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ohio, and Indiana. Most of these points seem to fit in the Clovis category, with a few Cumberland and Enterline-like examples
