World was first colonized at some point prior to 11,500 B.P., there is considerable disagreement as to how the colonization process actually proceeded (Beaton 1991; Hassan 1981; Kelly and Todd 1988; Martin 1973; Meltzer 1993a, 1995; Steele et al. 1998; Webb and Rindos 1993). Understanding the colonization of empty landscapes requires that we tackle three central issues. First, what path would c...
The 4th century BC marks the main entrance of Celtic populations in northern Italy. Their arrival has been suggested based on the presence of Celtic customs in Etruscan mortuary contexts, yet up to now few bioarchaeological data have been examined to support or reject the arrival of these newcomers. Here we use strontium isotopes, non-metric dental traits and funerary patterns to unravel the bi...
Geologically, Panama belongs to the Central American land-bridge between North and South America crossed by Homo sapiens >14 ka ago. Archaeologically, it belongs to a wider Isthmo-Colombian Area. Today, seven indigenous ethnic groups account for 12.3% of Panama's population. Five speak Chibchan languages and are characterized by low genetic diversity and a high level of differentiation. In addi...
In the period between 400 to 800 AD, also known as the period of the Barbarian invasions, intense migration is documented in the historical record of Europe. However, little is known about the demographic impact of these historical movements, potentially ranging from negligible to substantial. As a pilot study in a broader project on Medieval Europe, we sampled 102 specimens from 5 burial sites...
Learning by Heart: Cultural Patterns in the Faunal Processing Sequence during the Middle Pleistocene
Social learning, as an information acquisition process, enables intergenerational transmission and the stabilisation of cultural forms, generating and sustaining behavioural traditions within human groups. Archaeologically, such social processes might become observable by identifying repetitions in the record that result from the execution of standardised actions. From a zooarchaeological persp...
The primary focus of this article is on the so-called negritos of Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand, but attention is also paid to other parts of Southeast Asia. I present a survey of current views on the "negrito" phenotype--is it single or many? If the phenotype is many (as now seems likely), it must have resulted from parallel evolution in the several different regions where it has b...
Historical maps present a unique depiction of past landscapes, providing evidence for wide range information such as settlement distribution, land use, natural resources, transport networks, toponymy and other cultural data within an explicitly spatial context. Maps produced before the expansion large-scale mechanized agriculture reflect landscape that is lost today. Of particular interest to u...
Selection and transport of materials for tools is ubiquitous throughout our species’ evolutionary history. Yet understanding early human material culture heavily skewed toward lithic technology. This poses challenges when reconstructing technical origins, as organic raw materials, especially plants, likely played a significant role despite their absence from the record until 300 kya. Studies pl...
Abstract Background Wildfires of uncharacteristic severity, a consequence climate changes and accumulated fuels, can cause amplified or novel impacts to archaeological resources. The record includes physical features associated with human activity; these exist within ecological landscapes provide unique long-term perspective on human–environment interactions. potential for fire-caused damage ma...
Abstract The Danish-German Jerash Northwest Quarter Project revealed a robust and striking pattern of the extreme dominance (>99%) locally produced ceramics over six centuries across different depositional contexts (in total half million pottery sherds). archaeology points towards an exceptional degree self-sufficiency in craft products: why? project team implemented full quantification appr...
