Assessing inter-observer reliability to support availability of osteometric measurement data from the Olivier collection
The field of anthropometry is crucial in developing methods for reconstructing the biological profile of skeletal remains. Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of osteometric data is therefore essential for methodological validation. This study assesses the repeatability and inter-observer…

Atlit (Royaume latin de Jérusalem, XIIIe siècle) : cimetière de croisés ou un espace funéraire à la croisée de différentes cultures ? Regards sur quelques données et perspectives d’études
The medieval cemetery of Atlit is a vast burial ground located on the Levantine Mediterranean coast, near Château-Pèlerin, which was built in 1217-1218 and remained occupied until 1291. Located south of Haifa (Israel), this cemetery offers valuable insights into the cultural practices and…

The Trans-Evol project: Mapping Evolution in the South-West of the Turkana Basin (Kenya)
The origin of Homo sapiens >233 ka in Africa (Vidal et al., 2022) is part of a complex evolutionary process that gave rise to numerous hominin species in the last 5 Ma. The Turkana depression in the East African Rift has yielded vast archaeological and palaeontological evidence documenting this…

Primate dominance hierarchies: A review of theories and terminological ambiguities
Understanding the causes and consequences of dominance hierarchies is one of the main goals of studies on social evolution, primatology, and anthropology. Several theories have been proposed to explain dominance hierarchies in primates, each attracting a considerable number of empirical tests…

Hominin phylogenetics: methods and insights
Phylogenetic analyses of fossil hominins are central to our understanding of human evolution. This paper reviews the methodological foundations of analyses carried out, and aims to encourage and/or propose methodological improvements. Major tendencies are brought to light, such as the widespread…

Considered Absent: A first analysis of prehistoric human remains from the Scheldt basin, Belgium
Throughout prehistory, humans inhabited the Scheldt basin in northern Belgium, though few prehistoric human remains have been found there compared to the Meuse basin, where many caves contain human remains from various prehistoric phases. The poor preservation in the area is due to the region’s…

Male-female power relations in non-human primates: a brief note on emerging perspectives
Early primatology studies have been criticized for promoting a biased, male-centric view of primate power structures – depicting societies in which males compete fiercely for alpha status while females are portrayed as passive and subordinate. Drawing primarily, though not exclusively, from our own…

Bilateral asymmetry in the lower limbs in medieval humans and La Ferrassie Neandertals LF1 and LF2
Bilateral asymmetry in the lower limbs can provide insights into habitual biomechanical loading and mobility patterns in past populations. Previous studies have typically examined lower-limb elements in isolation, potentially overlooking integrated functional signals across the entire limb. Here…
