SYLLABUS Subject: ANTHROPOLOGY Note: There Are SYLLABUS Subject: ANTHROPOLOGY Note: There are two Papers for each of the subjects. Paper – I on Teaching and Research aptitude, Paper – II based on the syllabus of concerned subjects. Details are furnished below: PAPER – I Subject : General Paper on Teaching & Research Aptitude The Test is intended to assess the teaching/research aptitude of the candidate. They are supposed to possess and exhibit cognitive abilities like comprehension, analysis, evaluation, understanding the structure of arguments, evaluating and distinguishing deductive and inductive reasoning, weighing the evidence with special reference to analogical arguments and inductive generalization, evaluating, classification and definition, avoiding logical inconsistency rising out of failure to see logical relevance due to ambiguity and vagueness in language. The candidates are also supposed to have a general acquaintance with the nature of a concept, meaning and criteria of truth, and the source of knowledge. There will be 50 questions for Paper – I. 1. The Test will be conducted in objective mode. The Test will consist of two Papers.

  • An Integrated Analysis of Maglemose Bone Points Reframes the Early
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN An integrated analysis of Maglemose bone points reframes the Early Mesolithic of Southern Scandinavia Theis Zetner Trolle Jensen1,2*, Arne Sjöström3, Anders Fischer4, Erika Rosengren3,5, Liam Thomas Lanigan1, Ole Bennike6, Kristine Korzow Richter7, Kurt Joseph Gron8, Meaghan Mackie1,9, Morten Fischer Mortensen10, Lasse Sørensen11, David Chivall12, Katrine Højholt Iversen9,13, Alberto John Taurozzi1, Jesper Olsen14, Hannes Schroeder1, Nicky Milner15, Mikkel Sørensen16 & Matthew James Collins1,17* The extensive peat bogs of Southern Scandinavia have yielded rich Mesolithic archaeological assemblages, with one of the most iconic artefacts being the bone point. Although great in number they remain understudied. Here we present a combined investigation of the typology, protein- based species composition, and absolute chronology of Maglemosian bone points. The majority of the bone points are made from cervids and bovines. However, changes both in species composition and barb morphology can be directly linked to a paucity of fnds lasting nearly 600 years in Southern Scandinavia around 10,300 cal BP. We hypothesize that this hiatus was climate-driven and forced hunter-gatherers to abandon the lakes. Furthermore, the marked change in bone points coincides with a change in lithic technology. We, therefore, propose that the Maglemose culture in Southern Scandinavia is fundamentally divided into an Early Complex and a Late Complex. Te biological and geological record of the transition from the Late Glacial to the Early Holocene is manifested by a dramatic change in vegetation due to climatic warming1. With the increase in temperature vast amounts of buried stagnant ice gradually melted forming water-flled depressions.

One possible explanation for this is that the landscape provided an especially favourable environment for Palaeolithic hunters. To examine this, the local and regional environment is reconstructed through the analysis of pollen and plant macrofossils from a small kettle hole and is discussed in relation to human presence in the region. The kettle hole is situated close to a Palaeolithic occupation site with artefacts belonging to the Federmesser and Bromme Cultures. The lake sediments encompass the Bølling, Allerød, Younger Dryas and the early Preboreal biostratigraphic periods. An increase in charcoal dust between c. 14,000 and 13,900 cal. BP may be related to the occupation site. This study shows that an ecotone was positioned between present-day Denmark and northern Germany during a large part of the Late Glacial period.

    Issue 52 The Evolution of Symbolic Inscription in Prehistory Joseph O’Grady1 1 Dept of Archaeology, University of York, King’s Manor, Exhibition Sq., York, YO1 7EP [email protected] Introduction For the majority of human prehistory, inscription is the only manifestation of symbolic behaviour visible in the archaeological record. Symbolic behaviour is one of the few unchallenged markers of behavioural modernity (Texier et al. 2010). Its combination of symbols (symbolic inscription), language and abstract thinking are described as the “constitutive features of humanity” (Burduckiewicz 2014, 398). This essay will examine the emergence and development of different types of symbolic inscription, ranging from the Middle Palaeolithic to the Mesolithic. These include ornamentation, use of pigments, and abstract and figurative depictions (art), in both portable and parietal forms. Explanations for the motivations behind these features will also be investigated. Regarding the emergence of symbolic inscription in the Middle Palaeolithic, this essay will have a broad geographic focus. Contrastingly, the focus for the discussion of the later period will be restricted to Europe due to the quantity of data. The Lower Palaeolithic The Lower Palaeolithic appears to have witnessed the cognitive origins of symbolic behaviour (Burduckiewicz 2014). Evidence of this is provided in such few cases however, that despite issues of preservation, symbolic behaviour was likely not understood on a group level and played no part in social interactions between hominins. Regardless, the lack of comparable examples for these finds, and their vast temporal isolation from the next instances of symbolic behaviour in the record, mean that studies would be speculative.

  • Resolving the Issue of Artefact Deposition at Star Carr Barry Taylor
    This article has been published in a revised form in Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society https://doi.org/10.1017/ppr.2017.8. This version is free to view and download for private research and study only. Not for re-distribution, re-sale or use in derivative works. © The Prehistoric Society. Resolving the issue of artefact deposition at Star Carr Barry Taylor, Ben Elliott, Chantal Conneller, Nicky Milner, Alex Bayliss, Becky Knight, Mike Bamforth Abstract Since its publication in 1954 Star Carr has held an iconic status in British Mesolithic archaeology. The original excavations at the site recorded a large assemblage of bone and antler tools from a sequence of peat deposits at the edge of the Lake Flixton. Over 60 years later this remains the largest assemblage of bone and antler artefacts of its date in Britain and has been an invaluable source of information for life in the early Mesolithic (e.g. Conneller 2004; Elliott and Milner 2010). However, the interpretation of this material has been the subject of intense debate, and the assemblage has been variously described as the remains of an in-situ settlement, a refuse dump, and the result of culturally prescribed acts of deposition (e.g. Clark 1954; Price 1982; Chatterton 2003; Conneller 2003 and 2004; Mellars and Dark 1998, Mellars 2009). Fundamentally, these very different ideas of the nature of the site depend on differing interpretations of the environmental context into which the majority of the organic artefacts were deposited. In this paper we present the results of recent work at Star Carr that helps to resolve the debate surrounding both the context of the assemblage and the motivations that lay behind its deposition.

  • Slah Rectangular Bladelets Discovered at the Katra I Settlement
    RECTANGULAR BLADELETS DISCOVERED AT THE KATRA I SETTLEMENT IN THE VARĖNA DISTRICT OF LITHUANIA: A FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS GVIDAS SLAH Rectangular Bladelets Discovered Rectangular Bladelets Discovered at the Katra I Settlement in District of Lithuania: Varėna a Functional Analysis Abstract GVIDAS GVIDAS SLAH This paper deals with the function of rectangular bladelets produced in experimental studies. The function of the bladelets produced experimentally was compared with that of a similar flint inventory discovered at the Katra I settlement. The ex- perimental studies were carried out in the traceological laboratory at Klaipėda University. The functional dependence of the laboratory-produced flint blades and artefacts found at the Katra I settlement (in the Varėna district) were established with an Olympus SZX16 microscope. The experimental items were used in contact with dry reeds (Phragmites). It was established that the functions of the laboratory-produced blades and the ones discovered at the Katra I settlement coincided: most of the artefacts from the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods from the Katra I settlement were used for reed cutting.
