  1. A valley in northern Israel has produced 10 handaxes deliberately shaped around fossils and geodes, unprecedented for a single Acheulean site. What did early humans see in strange stone? #Palaeolithic #Acheulean #HumanEvolution anthropology.net/p/shaped-arou

  7. 🔥New paper out now in Science Advances🔥

    News from the straight-tusked elephants from Neumark-Nord!

    An international team has uncovered spectacular insights into life histories of some elephants by analysing their tooth enamel.

    The study is the latest in a series of ongoing scientific analyses of artefacts from the former Neumark-Nord opencast lignite mine.

  8. Young men and #bears were a dangerous combination in the Late #Weichselian western #Alps for which the Late #Palaeolithic Grotte du Bichon from appr. 14,000 years ago was a master example (Morel 1993, Archäologie der Schweiz 16, 110-117. share.google/tkLnhernhStkVr3an ). Now another example from c. 27,000 years Arene Candide is added by new #anthropological analyses:

  10. Reevaluating Hand Stencil Phenomena in Cave Art: A Step Forward towards the Characterization of Symbolic Patterns during the Upper #Palaeolithic in Europe.
    Palaeolithic art offers a unique window into understanding prehistoric societies. Thus, the iconography, techniques and stylistic features of the Upper Palaeolithic form the basis of research and are potentially valuable sources of information about cultural and knowledge exchange networks.

  17. 13,000 years ago, Ice Age foragers in Germany used vivid blue azurite—the earliest known in Europe. Not for cave walls, but likely for skin or fabric. A lost palette of the past resurfaces. #Archaeology #Palaeolithic #HumanEvolution @antiquity.ac.uk anthropology.net/p/when-the-ic

  23. Neanderthal's high nitrogen values usually lead to them being interpreted as hypercarnivore. But the original study suggests maggots in stored and putrefied meat as cause for the high values:
    science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv
    Die hohen Stickstoffwerte von Neanderthalern führen üblicherweise dazu, dass sie als Hypercarnivoren bezeichnet werden. Aber die Originalstudie legt Maden aus gelagertem & verrottetem Fleisch als Grund für die hohen Werte nahe.
