Devir was reviewed and approved* by the following: Thomas O.

Eckhardt Head, Department of Comparative Literature; Director, School of Languages and Literatures *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT A defining characteristic of secular Jewish literatures since the Haskalah, or the movement toward “Jewish Enlightenment” that began around the end of the eighteenth century, is the reliance upon the archetypal aspects of the Judaic tradition, together with a propensity for intertextual pastiche and dialogue with the sacred texts. Indeed, from the revival of the Hebrew language at the end of the nineteenth century and all throughout the defining events of the last one hundred years, the trend of the textually sacrosanct appearing as a persistent motif in Judaic cultural production has only increased. -

Grupos Avicaptores Del Tardiglaciar: Las Aves De Berroberria Tardiglacial Fowlers: Birds of Berroberria
MUNIBE (Antropologia-Arkeologia) Nº 47 3-22 SAN SEBASTIAN 1995 ISSN 1132-2217 Aceptado: 1994-09-7 Grupos avicaptores del Tardiglaciar: Las aves de Berroberria Tardiglacial fowlers: birds of Berroberria PALABRAS CLAVE: Marcas de cortes, Caza de aves, Paleolítico superior, Consumo diferido, Cuaternario, Paleornitología. KEY WORDS: Cut marks, Fowling, Upper Palaeolithic, Meat storage, Quaternary, Paleornithology. C. DIEZ FERNANDEZ-LOMANA * A. SANCHEZ MARCO * V. MORENO LARA * RESUMEN En este artículo presentamos un estudio sobre marcas de cortes en aves de Berroberria. Los restos proceden de un nivel Magdaleniense superior-final, datable mediante C14 y con la ayuda de estudios arqueológicos y palinológicos. Los restos avianos pertene- cen a la especie Lagopus mutus (perdiz nival) y evidencian la caza de esta especie por grupos humanos. El estudio realizado plantea la existencia de poblaciones que recurrían a la caza de aves en épocas del año concretas, las cuales desarrollaron una estrategia de descuar- tizamiento primario en el lugar de caza y de descarnación en la cavidad. La ausencia de restos avianos quemados, y la minuciosidad en el desmembramiento y deshuesado, implican una búsqueda de carne aviar para un consumo no inmediato. Se postula un acopio de carne, con técnicas de secado y ahumado, para ulteriores necesidades alimenticias, ligadas al enrarecimiento de los recursos durante el invierno. Las especies avianas presentes aportan algunas notas sobre las condiciones climáticas que imperaban en la zona. SUMMARY This article exposes the study of the cut-marks on the avian remains collected in Berroberria Cave. Bones come from an upper-final Magdalenian level, dated by C14 and connected with archaeological and palinological networks. -

Fossil Record of the Irish Elk (Megaloceros Giganteus (Blumenbach, 1799)) (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) in Bulgaria
Bulletin of the Natural History Museum - Plovdiv Bull. Nat. Hist. Mus. Plovdiv, 2019, vol. 4: 27-31 Fossil record of the Irish Elk (Megaloceros giganteus (Blumenbach, 1799)) (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) in Bulgaria Zlatozar N. Boev* National Museum of Natural History, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1 Blvd. Tsar Osvoboditel, 1000 Sofia, BULGARIA *Corresponding author: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract. The study summarizes all scattered data on the former distribution of the Irish elk in Bulgaria, some of them unpublished till now. The seven known sites are located mainly in the northwestern part of the country at 40 to 400 m a. s. in the Lower Danube Plain. The chronostratigraphical distribution covers Middle Pleistocene (Upper Biharian) to Late Pleistocene (Epigravettian). Key words: Extinct large mammals, Bulgarian Pleistocene megafauna, Cervids, Pleistocene. Introduction remains of the giant deer in “Burgas Region” Although considered one of the symbolic without concrete locality. species of the European Pleistocene terrestrial Present study aims to gather all scattered megafauna, the remains of the Irish Elk data on the distribution of the Irish elk (some (Megaloceros giganteus (Blumenbach, 1799)) of which published in less accessible and poorly everywhere were not numerous, but its former known sources in the past), and to summarize distribution covered a vast parts of Eurasia. In all the available information on its distribution the Pleistocene glacials the range of this throughout the country. Such a study is impressive mammal (Fig. 1) reached Balkan important as the territory of Bulgaria lies on the Peninsula and the northern parts of present-day southernmost limit of the species’ range.
