Seasonal resource availability and dietary selection in baboons: Implications for early hominin dietary inference
Selective pressures related to resource availability, nutritional constraints, and foraging costs have played an important role in shaping primate and early hominin dietary strategies. To distinguish between ecological and technological drivers of dietary evolution, this study examines baboon (…

Younger Dryas reindeer in northwest Europe: A multi-isotope study of the palaeoecology and mobility of Chelm’s Combe fauna, Britain
Reindeer ( Rangifer tarandus ) played a central role in the subsistence strategies of Late and Final Palaeolithic populations across northern Europe, particularly during the Younger Dryas (c. 12,850–11,650 cal BP). However, while reindeer are known from securely dated Younger Dryas faunal contexts…

The lithoscape of Blombos Cave, South Africa: A foundation for lithic procurement and forager mobility during the Middle Stone Age
Archaeological research in the southern Cape coastal region of South Africa continues to demonstrate the importance of this region for understanding the emergence of complex behaviours among Homo sapiens . Specifically, the excavation of the Middle Stone Age layers at Blombos Cave (c. 100–72 ka)…

Vegetation history during the last 28,000 years in Tamba Highland, Kyoto, Japan based on multi-analyses of sediment from the Jaga-ike mire
Sediment cores obtained from the Jaga-ike mire, located in the inland mountainous area of the Kinki region in western Japan, date back to 28,000 cal BP. The vegetation history around the Jaga-ike mire since the Last Glacial period was reconstructed using multiproxy analyses (pollen, macrofossils…

From open landscapes to forest refugia: Human encroachment and climate change as drivers of red deer (Cervus elaphus) niche shifts over 21,000 years
The red deer (Cervus elaphus) is one of the few remnant species of the European Pleistocene megafauna. It occupies a wide range of habitats across the Holarctic, yet the factors shaping the species’ realized ecological niche over time remain poorly understood. To investigate these dynamics, we…

What is that building doing there on Via Borgo Vico? New archaeological perspectives on the Iron Age occupation of the Como (Northern Italy) lakeshores
The city of Como (Lombardia, Northern Italy) is in a plain at the interface between Lake Como and mountain slopes. The most widely accepted narrative states that all the pre-Roman settlements were located on the hills surrounding the Como plain, that was marshy and uninhabited. The present-day…

Episodic settlement and mound formation context at Cubalel and Siwré sites, Middle Senegal River
Recent analysis of sediments recovered in 1991 at the sites of Cubalel and Siwré in the Middle Senegal River Valley have revealed new insights into the context of mound formation beginning ca. 1900 cal BP. In this study, we utilized stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) from Soil Organic Matter (SOM) and…

Cultural responses to the 8.2 ka climatic event in North China: Insights from the Jiahu archaeological site
While the 8.2 ka abrupt cooling event is increasingly recognised as a major Holocene climatic anomaly, archaeological discussions of its cultural consequences have often been framed in terms of societal distress, including the collapse and abandonment of settlements. However, prehistoric…

Stone tool use as an adaptive technology: A meta-analysis of functional estimates on use-wear traces from early, middle, and late Upper Paleolithic industries in the northeastern Japanese Archipelago
Since the 1980s, the development of experimental traceological studies has enabled archaeologists to estimate the intended use of Paleolithic stone tools whose functions were unclear. Despite the functional analyses of over 5500 Japanese Upper Paleolithic artifacts, how stone tool use was organized…

The Late Quaternary Megafaunal Extinction and Upper Paleolithic cultural changes: A hypothesis for bioenergetic-driven human adaptations
The Late Quaternary Megafaunal Extinction (LQME) represents one of the most significant ecological transformations of the Pleistocene, occurring between 50 and 12 thousand years ago and coinciding temporally with remarkable cultural innovations during the Upper Paleolithic period. Many researchers…

High-precision dating of Abrigo de La Boja (Murcia, Spain): Implications for the Middle-to-Upper Palaeolithic transition and the culture-stratigraphy of Upper Pleistocene Iberia
La Boja is a rock-shelter located in Murcia (Spain) whose c.7 m infilling spans the last 50,000 years of the Pleistocene. Though punctuated by a few episodes of stasis or erosion, sediment accumulation proceeded at a regular rate, while human occupation was intermittent and light. This pattern…
