Evidence of an age and/or gender-based division of labor during the Last Glacial Maximum in Iberia through rabbit hunting
Age and/or gender-based division of labor during the Last Glacial Maximum in Iberia. • Implementation of an Agent-Based Model grounded in the Optimal Foraging Theory. • Technological, social and economic implications of rabbit hunting. Many archaeological assemblages from the Iberian Peninsula dated to the Last Glacial Maximum contain large quantities of European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) remains with an anthropic origin. Ethnographic and hi…
Sitwe 23, a Complex ESA/MSA Locality in the Northern Luangwa Valley, Zambia
This paper describes the lithic aggregates from Sitwe 23 (SW23), a Stone Age locality in a previously unstudied region of the northern Luangwa Valley, Zambia. This area yielded two surface lithic scatters containing abundant artifacts derived from Pleistocene sediments on uplifted terrain and exposed by recent erosion on two adjacent terraces. The scatters are time-averaged palimpsests formed by deflation, but most of the lithics lack evidence of…
Climate frameworks for the Middle Stone Age and Later Stone Age in Northwest Africa
This paper examines climate conditions in Northwest Africa for Marine Isotope Stage 4, 3, and 2 (71,000–11,000 years ago) and their impact on the distribution of potential suitable areas on a regional scale. The analysis uses climate simulations to model: 1) the geographical extent and variability of macro-refugia based on ethnographic data; and 2) the frequency of suitable areas based on climate ranges obtained at dated archaeological occupation…

Osteometric Study of Metapodial Bones and Phalanges as Indicators of the Behavioural Ecology of Modern Reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) and Implications for Reconstruction of Paleo Mobility
Paleolithic reindeer (Rangifer tarandus) played an important role for human populations in western and central Europe during much of the Paleolithic period. In southwestern France and in particular during the Magdalenian, reindeer frequently figures among the privileged prey of hunter-gatherer groups. However, and despite numerous attempts to reconstruct the migratory behavior of Paleolithic reindeer, there is no agreement on the degree of mobili…
The archaeology of climate change: The case for cultural diversity
Anthropogenic climate change is currently driving environmental transformation on a scale and at a pace that exceeds historical records. This represents an undeniably serious challenge to existing social, political, and economic systems. Humans have successfully faced similar challenges in the past, however. The archaeological record and Earth archives offer rare opportunities to observe the complex interaction between environmental and human sys…
Réflexions sur la proportion du lapin de garenne (Oryctolagus cuniculus) dans le régime alimentaire des chasseurs-cueilleurs autour du Dernier Maximum Glaciaire en Ibérie
Hoy en día el conejo europeo (Oryctolagus cuniculus) es considerado invasivo en varios países. Sin embargo, los motivos del inicio de la explotación de este lagomorfo en el Paleolítico Superior en la península ibérica son objeto de un intenso debate sin que todavía exista un consenso general sobre las causas que explican su introducción en la dieta de los cazadores-recolectores ibéricos. En este artículo, primero presentamos cómo su caza comenzó …
Issues of theory and method in the analysis of Paleolithic mortuary behavior: A view from Shanidar Cave
Mortuary behavior (activities concerning dead conspecifics) is one of many traits that were previously widely considered to have been uniquely human, but on which perspectives have changed markedly in recent years. Theoretical approaches to hominin mortuary activity and its evolution have undergone major revision, and advances in diverse archeological and paleoanthropological methods have brought new ways of identifying behaviors such as intentio…
Archaeological Survey in Guadalajara: Human Occupation in Central Spain during the Late Pleistocene
The central Meseta is a high plateau located in the heart of the Iberian Peninsula. Abundant evidence of Lower and Middle Palaeolithic occupations of the region contrasts with scarce evidence of a human presence during the early Upper Palaeolithic. On this basis, it has been suggested that climatic downturns triggered the temporary abandonment, or near abandonment, of the central Meseta during the Last Glacial period. We conducted three archaeolo…
El Castillo cave (Cantabria, Spain): Archeozoological comparison between the Mousterian occupation level (unit 20) and the “Aurignacien de transition de type El Castillo” (unit 18)
In Spain, the site of El Castillo is part of the emblematic cave system of Cantabria, famous for its cave art. They are registered as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 2008. This archaeological site is also important due its stratigraphic sequence, which spans several prehistoric occupation units and in particular the techno-complexes of the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition. These constitute the subject of this article. We carried out …

Reading the landscape: Legible environments and hominin dispersals
Wayfinding, or the ability to plan and navigate a course over the landscape, is a subject of investigation in geography, neurophysiology, psychology, urban planning, and landscape design. With the prevalence of GPS-assisted navigation systems, or "wayfinders," computer scientists are also increasingly interested in understanding how people plan their movements and guide others. However, the importance of wayfinding as a process that regulates hum…

Refining the definition of cultural levels at Karabi Tamchin: A quantitative approach to vertical intra-site spatial analysis
A Middle Palaeolithic bone tool from Crimea (Ukraine)
A fragment of equid tibia found with a Mousterian assemblage in a rockshelter in the Crimean peninsula is carefully examined. The authors show that it has been knapped like flint to produce a tool probably at a time when stone resources were becoming exhausted. This tool is thus the product of a Neanderthal response to a local need as well as proof that the technological properties of bone were known

Applied Skeletochronology: The Horse as Human Prey During the Pleniglacial in Southwestern France
A model for the appositional growth of dental cement in the horse, based on a control sample of recent horse teeth, is applied to the microscopic analysis under transmitted light of petrographic thin-sections of fossil horse specimens from 12 prehistoric sites in southwestern France. This sample is restricted chronologically to the Pleniglacial period (18,000 to 14,000 BP) in order to maintain strict control of environmental variables. The archae…

The Middle Palaeolithic Site of Karabi Tamchin (Crimea, Ukraine): 1999–2001 Excavation Seasons
The Middle Palaeolithic site of Karabi Tamchin is presented here for the first time. Karabi Tamchin is a collapsed rock-shelter in Eastern Crimea (Ukraine), and is the only known, stratified Palaeolithic site in the highland regions of the First Crimean mountain range. Preliminary results of three excavation seasons indicate that the site differs fundamentally from Middle Palaeolithic sites excavated at lower altitudes, in terms of both lithic an…

Paleoethological Reconstruction and Taphonomy of Equus lambei from the Bluefish Caves, Yukon Territory, Canada
The Bluefish Caves, northern Yukon, Canada, have yielded evidence of pre-Holocene human occupation of eastern Beringia. The three caves at Bluefish contain a large and complex late Pleistocene fauna in situ. Our research on the mortality patterns and the paleoethology of Equus lambei (an extinct species of horse), a dominant component of the Bluefish assemblages, was based on the dental remains. Mortality profiles for Equus lambei indicate that p…

Prey Movements and Settlement Patterns During the Upper Palaeolithic in Southwestern France
The importance of a regional perspective for the study of hunter-gatherers is obvious if one considers that human action - as reflected in material culture - is not the result of random behaviour, but is the result of a cultural system. Archaeological sites do not exist in isolation. They are part of a regional pattern of adaptation...' - Introduction. This study examines the implications of seasonal determinations for horse and reindeer, obtaine…

The view from Starosele: Faunal exploitation at a middle palaeolithic site in western Crimea
The study of faunal assemblages from Middle Palaeolithic sites has been the focus of much debate in recent years. The debate has mostly centred around a number of important, interrelated issues dealing with the mode of faunal exploitation (hunting or scavenging), evidence for intentional prey selection, the specific hunting techniques used, where and how processing took place, and finally, patterns of seasonality. This paper contributes to this d…

Hunting in the Middle Palaeolithic
The systematic position of Equus hydruntinus, an extinct species of Pleistocene equid☆
Palaeolithic people commonly hunted Equus hydruntinus, an extinct species of equid whose cursorial body proportions suggest an adaptation to semi-arid conditions. Despite the frequency with which it is encountered in fossil deposits, only partial cranial remains have been reported until now. As a result, the systematic affiliation of the species remains a subject of controversy. Two nearly complete E. hydruntinus crania are presented here for the…
