Exploring dental macrowear in a Sambaqui population from Encosta da Lagoa (southern Brazil)
Southern Arabia Population Patterns and Intensity of Cultural Exchanges Across the Holocene Humid Period
The Early and Middle Holocene (10,000–3,000 BCE) in Southern Arabia witnessed significant climate change and variation in material culture across space and time. This study investigates the potential impact of 1) shifts in population density and 2) climatic fluctuations on the primary drivers of social development and technological innovation in this key timeframe. Our primary goal is to assess whether and to what extent climate change impacted h…
A multidisciplinary investigation into whether Andean caravans reached the southern lowlands of the Paraná-Plata basin during pre-Columbian times
Long-Term Urban and Population Trends in the Southern Mesopotamian Floodplains
The processes of long-term urbanization in southern Mesopotamia are still insufficiently investigated, even though recent studies using large datasets and focusing on neighboring regions have paved the way to understanding the critical role of multiple variables in the shaping of settlement strategies by ancient human societies, among which climate change played an important role. In this paper, we tackle these issues by analyzing, within the new…
How Cultural Transmission Through Objects Impacts Inferences About Cultural Evolution
The cross-fertilisation between biological and cultural evolution has led to an extensive borrowing of key concepts, theories, and statistical methods for studying temporal variation in the frequency of cultural variants. Archaeologists have been among the front-runners of those engaging with this endeavour, and the last 2 decades have seen a number of case studies where modes of social learning were inferred from the changing frequencies of arte…
Enamel thickness per masticatory phases (ETMP)
Many anthropological studies have examined the functional implications of enamel thickness in human dental crowns. Despite limitations, Enamel thickness (ET) values are still used to infer taxonomic attribution in the genus Homo, and to identify mechanisms of functional adaptation against macrowear. However, only a few studies have tried to describe the possible relationship between ET and dental wear patterns in permanent lower first molars (M1)…
Biocultural Diversity in Italy
As an initial step in more extensive research into the links between biological and cultural diversity in present-day Italy, we reviewed Biocultural Diversity studies that explore the relationship between biological and cultural patterns of diversity to determine whether any direct causal relationships or common drivers could be inferred. We found no significant attempts to quantitatively measure biocultural diversity in the country as a whole. I…
High-accuracy methodology for the integrative restoration of archaeological teeth by using reverse engineering techniques and rapid prototyping
The surname structure of Trentino (Italy) and its relationship with dialects and genes
Surnames act as cultural markers as do other words, although in this context they cannot be used as reliable proxies for genetic variability at a local scale
Exploring late Paleolithic and Mesolithic diet in the Eastern Alpine region of Italy through multiple proxies
Objectives The analysis of prehistoric human dietary habits is key for understanding the effects of paleoenvironmental changes on the evolution of cultural and social human behaviors. In this study, we compare results from zooarchaeological, stable isotope and dental calculus analyses as well as lower second molar macrowear patterns to gain a broader understanding of the diet of three individuals who lived between the end of the Late Pleistocene …
Exploring directional and fluctuating asymmetry in the human palate during growth
OBJECTIVES: Palate morphology is constantly changing throughout an individual's lifespan, yet its asymmetry during growth is still little understood. In this research, we focus on the study of palate morphology by using 3D geometric morphometric approaches to observe changes at different stages of life, and to quantify the impact of directional and fluctuating asymmetry on different areas at different growth stages. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The sam…
Unique foot posture in Neanderthals reflects their body mass and high mechanical stress
An overview of Alpine and Mediterranean palaeogeography, terrestrial ecosystems and climate history during MIS 3 with focus on the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition
Comparing traditional and virtual approaches in the micro-excavation and analysis of cremated remains
Sex-related morbidity and mortality in non-adult individuals from the Early Medieval site of Valdaro (Italy)
Peopling dynamics in the Mediterranean area between 45 and 39 ky ago
An overview of Alpine and Mediterranean palaeogeography, terrestrial ecosystems and climate history during MIS 3 with focus on the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition
This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge about the millennial scale climate variability characterizing Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) in S-Europe and the Mediterranean area and its effects on terrestrial ecosystems. The sequence of Dansgaard-Oeschger events, as recorded by Greenland ice cores and recognizable in isotope profiles from speleothems and high-resolution palaeoecological records, led to dramatic variations in glacier extent…
Refining the Uluzzian through a new lithic assemblage from Roccia San Sebastiano (Mondragone, southern Italy)
Backed Pieces and Their Variability in the Later Stone Age of the Horn of Africa
Backdating systematic shell ornament making in Europe to 45,000 years ago
Morphometric analysis of the hominin talus
Between the hammerstone and the anvil
A late Neanderthal tooth from northeastern Italy
A quantitative approach to the study of Neolithic projectile points from south‐eastern Arabia
Lithic projectile points always had an important diagnostic value for documenting the development and expansion of Arabian Neolithic material culture (c. eighth–fourth millennium BC) and subsistence strategies due to the remarkable abundance of surface assemblages. Given the limitations of traditional arrowhead typology for analysing the increasing variability emerging from archaeological research in the region, we propose here a new systematic d…
Macromammal and bird assemblages across the late Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition in Italy
Lithic techno-complexes in Italy from 50 to 39 thousand years BP
Bone tools, ornaments and other unusual objects during the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition in Italy

Macromammal and bird assemblages across the late Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition in Italy
The physiological linkage between molar inclination and dental macrowear pattern
OBJECTIVES: Exact symmetry and perfect balance between opposite jaw halves, as well as between antagonistic teeth, is not frequently observed in natural masticatory systems. Research results show that asymmetry in our body, skull, and jaws is often related to genetic, epigenetic, environmental and individual ontogenetic factors. Our study aims to provide evidence for a significant link between masticatory asymmetry and occlusal contact between an…

Newly found stone cairns in Mudug region, Puntland
A pilot archaeological survey has revealed evidence for forty monumental stone cairns preserved in good conditions in the Mudug region, Puntland, in the Horn of Africa. These monuments were digitally recorded and are presented here as part of a first assessment of the archaeological potential of the region. While such monuments are not uncommon in eastern Africa, this particular discovery starts to shed light on an area that has not previously be…

Positive selection of lactase persistence among people of Southern Arabia
OBJECTIVE: Frequency patterns of the lactase persistence (LP)-associated -13,915 G allele and archaeological records pointing to substantial role played by southern regions in the peopling and domestication processes that involved the Arabian Peninsula suggest that Southern Arabia plausibly represented the center of diffusion of such adaptive variant. Nevertheless, a well-defined scenario for evolution of Arabian LP is still to be elucidated and …
Systematic description and analysis of food sharing practices among hunter-gatherer societies of the Americas
Ethnographic documentation consistently informs us that practices related to food sharing are dynamic chains of events resulting from highly differentiated forms of individual and group-based interactions. Specific behaviours and transaction strategies can be identified for every hunting, gathering and fishing group or society, and the sequence of such actions develops into a multi-stage process with distinctive practices and characteristics assi…
