Three millennia of lizard and snake consumption by Natufian foragers

"Our results demonstrate that reptile exploitation was an established and persistent dietary practice and that squamate consumption intensity is linked to site occupation intensity and emerging sedentism."

Neanderthals selected and reused bone tools more than 70,000 years ago in Spain

A new study of Valdegoba Cave in northern Spain shows how Neanderthals selected and shaped animal bones for work on stone tools. The findings add to evidence of planned tool use during the Middle Paleolithic. Researchers examined 38 bone fragments from Valdegoba, near Huérmeces in Burgos province...

💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🥚✏️ Engraved #ostrich eggshells dating to over 60,000 years ago, from sites including #Diepkloof and #Apollo11, were systematically analyzed.

Over 80% of 112 fragments showed consistent spatial rules, with repeated right angles and parallel lines. The researchers argue this rule-based organization points to planned abstract thought and early symbolic systems.

Two 40,000-year-old bird figurines from Hohle Fels Cave, Germany, are the smallest Ice Age carvings ever found — thumbnail-sized, yet packed with detailed, specific posture and anatomy. #Archaeology #IceAgeArt #Paleolithic https://www.anthropology.net/p/two-thumbnail-sized-birds-carved

El chamán danzante en la sala del santuario de la cueva de Trois-Frères es una pintura del magdaleniense (13000 a.C.) de un teriantropo, aunque la cornamenta parece ser un añadido de Henri Breuil. Es un motivo presente en cuevas del Paleolítico Superior, desde Francia a Sicilia y el lago Chad. 📷R. Bégouën #paleolitico #paleolithic
