  • Evaluating the Evidence for Lunar Calendars in Upper Palaeolithic Parietal Art

    Open AccessA Nowell, Paul Bahn et al.ARTICLECambridge Archaeological Journal2025Citada por: 3Referências: 24

    In this paper, we examine the lunar calendar interpretation to evaluate whether it is a viable explanation for the production of Upper Palaeolithic parietal art. We consider in detail the history of this approach, focusing on recently published variations on this interpretation. We then discuss the scientific method and whether these recent studies are designed to address the research questions necessary to test a lunar calendar hypothesis. More …

  • An alternative chronology for the art of Chauvet cave

    Open AccessP Pettitt, Paul Bahn et al.ARTICLEAntiquity2015Citada por: 7Referências: 13

    It is now 20 years since the discovery of the Grotte Chauvet with its impressive cave art, but controversy continues over the antiquity of the images. Radiocarbon assays have been used to argue that the 'black series' charcoal drawings date to the Aurignacian period, more than 20 000 years earlier than traditional stylistic models would suggest. This paper questions the validity of the radiometric dating and cautions against reliance solely on th…

  • The Upper Palaeolithic of Europe

    João Zilhão, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Concept and Definition Over the last quarter century, discussions of the emergence of the Upper Palaeolithic (UP) have become intimately associated with disappearance of “archaic” humans and rise of “modernity” issues. As a consequence of the gradual blurring of previously perceived contrasts with the Middle Palaeolithic (MP) in technology, subsistence and site structure (Bar-Yosef & Kuhn 1999; Speth 2004), the definitional significance of orname…

  • The Upper Palaeolithic of South and Southeast Asia

    Ryan J Rabett, Timothy E G Reynolds et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Introduction The traditional European image of the Upper Palaeolithic – of early modern humans with blade technology, a succession of typologically distinct industries, durable evidence of abstract behaviours and economic specialisation – is not easily transposable to South and Southeast Asia. As a result of this, we have chosen to confine our discussion of the “Upper Palaeolithic” of South and Southeast Asia to within chronological rather than t…

  • The Philippines

    Victor Paz, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    History of Research The Philippine Archipelago of more than seven thousand islands had the seeds of modern archaeology planted in the early 20th century. The discipline, however, took much effort to grow to the current vibrant condition of archaeological research. The study of archaeology in the Philippines can be divided into five periods: Pre-Archaeology (up to the late 19th century), Accidental Archaeology (the late 19th century to early 1920s…

  • Early Hominins

    Zeresenay Alemseged, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    History In this chapter, the term “early hominins” refers to all fossil human ancestor species except for those belonging to the genus Homo . In his book The Descent of Man , published in 1871, Charles Darwin predicted that fossils of the earliest human ancestors would be discovered somewhere in Africa (Darwin 1871). This speculation was put forth based mainly on his observations of the physical similarities between living humans and African grea…

  • Early Palaeolithic of Central and Northern Asia

    Mikhail V Shunkov, Michael V Shunkov et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Lower Palaeolithic The latest available archaeological, anthropological and genetic evidence suggests that Africa is the motherland of humankind. The most ancient human sites with stone tools of the Oldowan type dating from 2.6 to 2.0 Ma are located mostly in the area of the East African Rift. Around 2 Ma, early hominins crossed the boundaries of Africa and colonised a considerable portion of Eurasia. The earliest human populations of the first m…

  • Early Palaeolithic Europe

    Olaf Jöris, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Life in Early Palaeolithic Europe was significantly different from that in the Upper Palaeolithic after the first Anatomically Modern Humans had entered the continent. For almost two million years the continent had been occupied by hominins different from us. These ancestral populations adapted to, and learned to cope with, entirely different climatic and environmental conditions within Europe’s constantly changing geography. The hominins establi…

  • The Genus Homo in Africa

    J G Fleagle, Frederick E Grine et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    The genus Homo almost certainly first evolved in Africa, and it is on that continent that we find the most diversity of species and the greatest evolutionary changes through time. In the mid-20th century, most palaeoanthropologists would have held that, from a palaeontological perspective, our genus contained only a few species, and perhaps only one at any given time. Thus, most would have recognised the existence of perhaps two or three species …

  • The Southwestern Region of North America

    Charles R Riggs, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Geography and Environment of the Greater Southwest The boundaries of the American Southwest are often said to extend from the modern community of Durango, Mexico, in the south (24° 01′ 44′′ N, 104° 39′ 46′′ W) to Durango, Colorado, in the north (37° 16′ 31′′ N, 107° 52′ 48′′ W), from Las Vegas, Nevada, in the west (36° 06′ 52′′ N, 115° 10′ 22′′ W) to Las Vegas, New Mexico, in the east (35° 35′ 38′′ N, 105° 13′ 26′′ W). Geographically it is the re…

  • The Pacific Coast of North America

    T L Jones, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    The Pacific Coast of North America, extending from 23° to 60° N latitude, encompasses three broad environmental-cultural areas: the Northwest Coast (the western flank of the coastal mountains of British Columbia and the Cascades), Alta California and the Baja California Peninsula (Map 2.32.1). Throughout its prehistory the region was the domain of hunter-gatherers who varied in population density and relative sociopolitical complexity (Fig. 2.32.…

  • The Upper Palaeolithic and Earlier Epi-Palaeolithic of Western Asia

    A Belfer-Cohen, Nigel Goring-Morris et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Introduction The Near (or Middle) East is an ambiguous term that refers to Southwest Asia eastwards from the Mediterranean up to and including Iran. The region encompasses Anatolia, the Levant, Cyprus, Mesopotamia, Arabia and, sometimes, Transcaucasia. Prehistoric research throughout the region has been patchy, with a notable historical bias on the Levant (as an offshoot from “biblical” archaeology); this encompasses the area bounded between the …

  • Early Sedentism in East Asia

    Junko Habu, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    The Importance of Studying Early Sedentism in East Asia East Asia is a treasury of archaeological information when examining the origins and development of early sedentism in human societies. Since the early 20th century, conditions, causes and consequences of sedentism have been major research foci of anthropological archaeology. Traditional archaeological approaches, which were heavily based on data from Europe and the Near East, tended to view…

  • The Upper Palaeolithic of Northeast Asia

    Ludmila Lbova, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    The Upper Palaeolithic is the time of the emergence of physically modern humans and the evolution of their culture. It also witnessed important innovations in developing new techniques in the working of stone, bone and wood, as well as the origin of new forms and types of tools, and also of personal decoration and ornaments. This phenomenon can be explained by a process of migration, diffusion and acculturation, and interactions between different…

  • The Great Plains and Mississippi Valley

    L Sundstrom, T R Pauketat et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Environment The Great Plains and Mississippi Valley encompass most of eastern North America, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, including the Ohio River drainage, the Appalachians, and the Missouri River Basin. This vast area encompasses significant geomorphological, biotic and climatic diversity. Much of the midcontinent had been glaciated, characterised today by level to gently rolling topography. Uplifts and more heavily dissected regions make…

  • Prehistory in North Africa after the Middle Palaeolithic

    Jean-Loïc Le Quellec, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Since the first important review by G. Camps (Camps, Delibrias & Thommeret 1968) and even the most recent one by R. Vernet (2004), both concluding that more research is urgently needed, several interdisciplinary programmes of survey and excavation have taken place in the Sahara, but their number is still too low. As a result, it is almost impossible to have a good overview of a zone covering 9 million square kilometres, all the more so as several…

  • Prehistory and the Rise of Cities in Mesopotamia and Iran

    Joan Oates, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    A Neolithic excavation in the Near East partakes of a hybrid character. . . . Taking account of the dual parameters of time/resources faced by any archaeologist, one cannot claim, from top to bottom of a tell, to both excavate an area sufficient to demonstrate the structures of a “village zone” (not limited to a single house), while at the same time imposing everywhere micro-stratigraphic rigour and the integral harvesting of transient details. .…

  • The Human Revolution

    Peter Forster, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    The pioneering work on the human mtDNA tree by Allan Wilson and colleagues (Cann et al . 1987; Vigilant et al . 1991), after some controversy over the methods and the data (reviewed in Forster et al . 2001), quickly focused both geneticists and anthropologists on the probability of a relatively recent African ancestry for all modern humans some two hundred thousand years ago. At most, some geneticists (Templeton 2002; Harding et al. 1997; Green e…

  • Mesopotamia

    Joan Oates, Colin Renfrew et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    The early development of writing in Mesopotamia (Chapter 3.7) carries with it an early although limited literacy contemporary with several millennia of prehistory in other parts of the world. A fully developed writing system was in use in Mesopotamia by the middle of the 4th millennium bce , although its use was restricted to a limited, especially educated group. There is even a slightly later group of texts, obviously written for scribal amuseme…
