Energetic yields of springbok ( Antidorcas marsupialis ) marrow from long bones: A co-produced experimental study from the Boomplaas Cave field school
Understanding the nutritional value of past hunter-gatherer prey is highly informative for archaeologists seeking to interpret human decision-making regarding hunting, processing, and meat consumption. Much zooarchaeological theory and methodology is devoted to this work, including applications of human behavioural ecology, utility indices, considerations of skeletal element representation, and discussions of transport decisions. However, there r…
Raw Material Sourcing Analyses of Ochre and Stone Tools from the Middle Stone Age site of Mwulu’s Cave (Limpopo, South Africa)
Signaling Shifts and Economic Defensibility at Boomplaas Cave, South Africa
This study tests predictions of the Economic Defensibility Model (EDM) regarding the relationship between resource density and distribution, as well as signaling behavior among Late Pleistocene foragers. The EDM proposes that territorial signaling intensifies when resources are dense and predictable, as the benefits of broadcasting group membership and maintaining alliances outweigh signaling costs. We evaluate this model using data from Boomplaa…
Red Balloon rock shelter Middle Stone Age ochre assemblage and population's adaption to local resources in the Waterberg (Limpopo, South Africa)
Standardization procedure to provide a unified multi-method elemental compositional dataset, application to ferruginous colouring matters from Namibia
Curation of archaeological materials often leads to carrying out multi-analytical methodologies that combine non-invasive and invasive elemental analyses. Such materials are often analysed with different techniques. It results in the production of complementary but apparently non-compatible compositional datasets that cannot be easily compared. In the present paper, we propose to compare results acquired on geological ferruginous colouring matter…
Data pretreatment and multivariate analyses for ochre sourcing: Application to Leopard Cave (Erongo, Namibia)
Archaeological Ochres of the Rock Art Site of Leopard Cave (Erongo, Namibia): Looking for Later Stone Age Sociocultural Behaviors
Calcium Oxalate Radiocarbon Dating: Preliminary Tests to Date Rock Art of the Decorated Open-Air Caves, Erongo Mountains, Namibia
The direct dating of rock paintings is not always possible due to the lack of organic carbon compounds in pigments, or because sampling from a heritage site is often restricted. To overcome these limitations, dating laboratories have to develop new approaches. In this study, we consider sampling calcium oxalate crusts covering the painted artworks as a way to indirectly date the rock art. This stratigraphic approach includes isolating and extract…
Characterization of painting pigments and ochres associated with the Hoabinhian archaeological context at the rock-shelter site of Doi Pha Kan (Thailand)
Variability and sampling strategy of cave wall concretion: Case study of the moonmilk found in Leye Cave (Dordogne)
Cave Art is a fragile testimony of past human societies and the development of modern behaviours. In limestone caves, moonmilk commonly endanger the artworks. It is a calcite deposit with a large variability of chemical composition and morphological structures and it hosts numerous microbial communities. The possibility to characterize this deposit in the field would aid in a better understanding of cave behaviour and allow the setting up of prop…
