Right to replicate? A preliminary comparative experimental approach to the use of replicas in taphonomic analyses using the scanning electron microscope
This paper presents the preliminary results of an experimental project aiming at the optimization of the procedures for observing and identifying archaeological bone modifications by means of microscope analysis.The protocol includes different phases: the first one starts with the experimental production of traces on hard animal tissues (bones, teeth, ivory, antler, etc.) using different kinds of tools made of various materials (flint, obsidian, …
Animal bone remains from the temple on a podium at Saepinum (South Italy)
The town of Sepino (Campobasso, Molise) is located in the Tammaro valley along the ‘tratturo Pescasseroli-Candela.’ The animal bone comes from the temple on a podium found in the south-eastern urban quadrant, in levels dated to the first half of the first century AD. Only domestic ungulate species have been identified, among which pigs and cattle are prevalent, whereas Ovis/Capra and horse remains are very rare. Bone remains derive in general fro…

When Children Mark the Change: Funerary Rituals and Socio-Demographic Dynamics in Pontecagnano (Salerno, Campania) between the 9th and 5th Centuries BCE
Pontecagnano is one of the largest pre-Roman sites in southern Italy, best known for its necropolises, located around the inhabited area. Archaeological excavations of the burial areas have uncovered more than ten thousand burials. Several studies have highlighted different phases of the settlement’s development from the 9th to the 3rd century BCE, which are marked by major societal and cultural shifts. In turn, these periods are reflected by cha…

Bird exploitation from the epigravettian site of Riparo Dalmeri (Trento, Italy)
Events, Social Memories, and Community in a Final Bronze Age Building’s Biography at Sant’Aniceto, Calabria, Italy
Archaeologists investigating Middle Bronze to Early Iron Age periods (1600–900 b.c.) in southern Italy often explore linkages between emerging inequality and foreign trade connections, establishing a coupled trope of “change emerges from external forces” and “waiting for civilization to arrive”. Based on excavations at the Recent/Final Bronze and Early Iron Ages (RFBA/IA, 1200–900 b.c.) site of Sant’Aniceto in Calabria, we offer an alternative na…
Archeozoology and taphonomy of bird remains from Grotta di Castelcivita (Salerno, Italy) and clues for human-bird interactions
Late neandertals and the exploitation of small mammals in northern Italy: Fortuity, necessity or hunting variability
This work reviews the anthropogenic exploitation of small mammals during a crucial time span for the reconstruction of human behavior at the dawn of the Middle - Upper Palaeolithic boundary in the Northern Mediterranean region. Data are sourced from faunal assemblages recovered in the final Mousterian levels of Grotta di Fumane (A5-A6 complex) and the Late Mousterian levels of Riparo Tagliente (levels 35 and 36) and Grotta di San Bernardino (unit…
Right‐handed fossil humans
Fossil hominids often processed material held between their upper and lower teeth. Pulling with one hand and cutting with the other, they occasionally left impact cut marks on the lip (labial) surface of their incisors and canines. From these actions, it possible to determine the dominant hand used. The frequency of these oblique striations in an array of fossil hominins documents the typically modern pattern of 9 right‐ to 1 left‐hander. This ra…

Ecology and subsistence strategies in the eastern Italian Alps during the Middle Palaeolithic
Italy is very rich in Middle Palaeolithic sites, and the Veneto region ranges among those with the best archaeozoological information. Most of the Middle Palaeolithic sites are located in caves and rock shelters situated at the mouths of the Alpine valleys, in the piedmont slopes. The two sites that offer the best archaeozoological data are Grotta di Fumane and Grotta S. Bernardino. Grotta S. Bernardino was occupied alternately by humans and carn…
