From Lithics to Spatial and Social Organization
Journal of Archaeological Science (2001) 28, 127–141 doi:10.1006/jasc.1999.0545, available online at http://www.idealibrary.com on From Lithics to Spatial and Social Organization: Interpreting the Lithic Distribution and Raw Material Composition at the Final Palaeolithic Site of Kettig (Central Rhineland, Germany) Michael Baales* Forschungsbereich Altsteinzeit, Ro¨misch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum Mainz, Schloss Monrepos, D-56567 Neuwied, Germany (Received 10 October 1999, revised manuscript accepted 8 December 1999) During the Final Palaeolithic Federmessergruppen period, a wide range of siliceous raw materials was used in the Central Rhineland (Germany). Beside materials from the immediate region, exogenous resources such as flint from up to 100 km away in the Meuse drainage area and the moraines of the Saalian glaciation were exploited. At Kettig, the spatial distribution of different lithic raw materials and analysis of several categories of burnt finds allow the characterization of the settled area in space and time. While adequate, good-quality raw material was available in the Central Rhineland, the regular use of exogenous raw materials at Central Rhineland sites also demonstrates the necessity of maintaining regular social contacts with other groups in neighbouring regions. 2001 Academic Press Keywords: FINAL PALAEOLITHIC, FEDERMESSERGRUPPEN, SPATIAL ANALYSIS, RAW MATERIAL ECONOMY, SOCIAL CONTACTS, WESTERN GERMANY.

Kurzfassung Der Vorträge Und Poster
Kurzfassung der Vorträge und Poster Eline N. van Asperen People, prey and predators: how faunal dynamics inform our models of hominin dispersal The climate and largely forested environment of the Last Interglacial (marine isotope stage 5e) are thought to have been similar over large stretches of north-west and central Europe. Though the British Isles are climatically comparable to the European mainland at this time, certain key species, notably hominins, horses and forest rhino, are missing from Last Interglacial faunas of the British Isles. Various explanations have been offered for the enigmatic absence of evidence for hominin occupation of the British Isles during this period, including taphonomic factors, sea level rise, population dynamics and adaptive limitations which prevented hominins from surviving in densely forested environments. The detailed faunal and environmental records for the Last Interglacial allow for an investigation of the impact of large mammal community composition and dynamics on the role of hominins in the faunal com- munity. Using GIS approaches and statistical methods, the influence of environmental variables and the location of refugia on hominin dispersal and distribution are explored. The carnivorous Last Interglacial hominin diet brought the hominins in direct competition with large carnivores that focus on similar-sized prey. The complex relationships between hominins, their prey and their carnivore competitors are examined, using ecological theories of food webs and species interactions. Approaching hominins as an integral part of the large mammal community thus opens new avenues of investigating hominin behaviour.

CURRICULUM VITA David W
CURRICULUM VITA David W. Frayer Biographical sketch David Frayer is a paleoanthropologist at the University of Kansas, where he is now professor emeritus. He has worked extensively in Europe on Neandertal, Upper Paleolithic, Mesolithic, Neolithic and Medieval human dental/skeletal material, along with remains from fossil sites in Africa, the Levant, Central Asia and SE Asia. His publications have appeared in major anthropological and science journals with topics ranging from prehistoric dwarfs to the earliest evidence for drilled teeth to issues involving the relationship between Neandertal and modern populations. His books involve dental changes in Upper Paleolithic and Mesolithic Europe, evidence for violence in prehistory (edited with Debra Martin), an extensive, illustrated bibliography of the Krapina Neandertal site and an edited volume (with Janet Monge, Alan Mann and Jakov Radovčić) on new research at Krapina. His most recent collaborative work concerns ritual behavior in the Krapina Neandertals, determining handedness from scratches on Neandertal teeth, Krapina Neandertal inner ear structure and evidence for Neandertal jewelry at Krapina. For 2009-2011 he was a Sigma Xi Distinguished lecturer. Most of the publications are available on ResearchGate. His research on handedness was the focus of an article in Discover (June 2018).

BREUIL PROFESSOR AT THE INSTITUTE OF HUMAN PALAEONTOLOCy, PARIS CAMBRIDGE AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS I 9 2 I PREFACE I TEXT-BOOK on Prehistoric Archaeology is by no means A. an easy thing to write, and the matter is still further complicated to-day by the tremendous rise in the expense of publication, especially if many plates are figured. Again, in a subject such as Prehistory, so closely connected with various branches of written History, Geology, Ethnology, and Later Archaeology, it is very difficult to know when to be ultra-elementary, and when to assume a slight general knowledge of one of these allied subjects. Thus, in the chapters which deal with purely geological problems, a student of Geology wishing to learn something of Prehistory will find some of the most elementary geological ideas ex- plained at length, as all are not geologists. -
