Sexual dimorphism in Upper Palaeolithic hand stencils
Sexual roles in deep prehistory are among the most intriguing puzzles still to solve. Here the author shows how men and women can be distinguished by scientific measurement in the prints and stencils of the human hand that occur widely in Upper Palaeolithic art. Six hand stencils from four French caves are attributed to four adult females, an adult male, and a sub-adult male. Here we take a ste...
متن کاملUpper Palaeolithic and Mesolithic Buckinghamshire 38,000-4000 Bc
Archaeological investigations in Buckinghamshire have to date had little impact nationally on understanding of the Upper Palaeolithic or Mesolithic. Such evidence as there is comes principally from sites associated with watercourses. There has been one preliminary investigation of a late Upper Palaeolithic site and only a few relatively small-scale investigations on sites of Mesolithic date. No...
متن کاملData Translation Between Taxonomies
The task of translating data from one schema into another is usually performed with the help of information stating how the elements between two schemas correspond. Translation mechanisms can use this information in order to identify how instances of a source schema must be translated. We claim that a uniform matching approach, where instances of a source classes are always translated into the ...
متن کاملReasoning about taxonomies in first-order logic
Experts often disagree about the organization of biological taxa. The shifting definitions of taxonomic names complicate otherwise simple queries concerning these taxa. For example, a query such as “how many occurrences of specimens in genus G are recorded in database D” will return different answers depending on whose definition of genus G is used. In our proposed framework, taxonomic classifi...
متن کاملSpecialized Early Upper Palaeolithic Hunters in Southwestern France?
Paul Mellars has long used cave and rockshelter ungulate faunal assemblages from southwestern France to argue that the early Upper Palaeolithic people of this region focused their hunting on reindeer (Rangifer tarandus), and that such specialized hunting distinguishes the Upper from the Middle Palaeolithic in at least this region. We examine this argument quantitatively, using a sample of 133 M...
