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 https://www.anthropology.net/p/shaped-around-the-fossil-acheulean

🔥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.

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. https://share.google/tkLnhernhStkVr3an ). Now another example from c. 27,000 years Arene Candide is added by new #anthropological analyses:

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.https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/cambridge-archaeological-journal/article/reevaluating-hand-stencil-phenomena-in-cave-art-a-step-forward-towards-the-characterization-of-symbolic-patterns-during-the-upper-palaeolithic-in-europe/E867DBB1487323B415E401E3CCEF2042 #globalmuseum #caveart

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.

Lived here for 30 years but only noticed this stone on the flower bed yesterday. Signs of repeated working? A lithic core?

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:
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adt7466
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.

🔥New paper in ScienceAdvances about redating of the Schöningen spear horizon is out, now🔥
Age of Schöningen spears revised to 200,000 years
The world’s oldest complete wooden hunting weapons from Schöningen, Germany, are 100,000 years younger than previously claimed.

Please join us for our next DiPA on April 2nd at 10.30AM.
We will have Dr. Corey Johnson, currently at the Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris.
He will give a talk about "Investigating evolutionary trends in blank cutting edge efficiency".

The bone, antler and ivory artefacts from the #Magdalenian sites of Gönnersdorf and Andernach-Martinsberg (Germany) are being re-examined by use wear analysis.
This provides new insights into manufacturing techniques, usage, repairs and reuse.
Research into finds made from organic materials has long been somewhat overshadowed by #stonetools , although they provide valuable information about the #behaviour and everyday life of people in the #Palaeolithic.

Alright, talk at #s375 #EAA2023 about Final #Palaeolithic #mobility is done. ✅ Photo credits to Iwona Sobkowiak-Tabaka.
Now only an afternoon discussion session #s515 for @EAAPaM about #Decolonising Palaeolithic & #Mesolithic #Archaeology has to be organised. Very much looking forward to it with presenters and discussants from North America, Europe, India and Australia. 🌎🌍🌏
