It is also aimed at recording the laboratory work that took place since the last report published (Valla et al. 2004). Following the presentation of new '4C dates, the paper describes Early Natufian burials (Locus 239), one of which includes two decorated skeletons in a plastered grave. The next sections are devoted to analyses of Final Natufian findings. Because most of the sequence inside each excavated structure is now known, special interest is devoted to the succession of the phases in their occupation. This results in a dynamic vision, which suggests that some buildings (possibly houses) were used intermittently,whereas others may have been occupied on a more continuous basis. Among new features uncovered during those last seasons, a fire pit in structure 228 and a structure that includes a deep mortar in working position are worth mentioning. New graves are described as well. The most unexpected among them is a pit where at least seven individuals from newborn to adult were successively buried. Lithic analyses include an attempt at reconstructing the way both Helwan and regular Final Natufian lunates were shaped. This demonstrates that the changes in retouch techniques are probably linked to the diminished size of the desired end product. Following a more traditional approach we examine then a sample of tools from the lower part of the Final Natufian layer. The results suggest that there is no major change in the flint assemblages during the time span represented by the layer. Obsidian study confirms that this material is coming from Cappadocia, as will be the case in the Southern Levant for most of the PPN. Faunal analyses include a note on mammal carcass treatment. New research on birds confirms that Final Natufian people mainly targeted waterfowls for food but new species of raptors are identified. A preliminary analysis of fish emphasizes the diversity in species. Two studies are devoted to crabs and land and freshwater mollusks respectively. They suggest that both crabs and terrestrial mollusks were probably used as food by the inhabitants of the site. Also of importance is the presence of Palearctic mollusks, which confirm that average temperatures were probably somewhat lower by the end of the Pleistocene than to day, as already suggested by Pichon. More bone tools confirm the trends already observed previously: this workmanship is deeply rooted in the tradition initiated during the Early Natufian phase. Hooks are relatively frequent. Of interest is the finding of a new "spoon", a tool that seems to be a Natufian invention. Due to poor preservation of vegetal remains, phytoliths are the main testimony of the use Natufian people made of flora. New samples confirm that reeds and sedges may have been used for building and matting, whereas a variety of grasses, among them small quantities of barley and wheat, were probably brought to the site for consumption.

Trois rapports préliminaires (Valla et al. 1998, Valla et al. 2001, Valla et al. 2004) ont rendu compte des recherches menées à Ain Mallaha (Eynan) entre 1996 et 2001. Après une interruption d'un an, les travaux ont repris brièvement en 2003, puis de façon plus substantielle en 2004 et 2005. Comme les années précédentes, ils ont porté surtout sur le Natoufien final. Mais on a poursuivi aussi l'exploration des sépultures plus anciennes découvertes dans l'abri 26. Le lecteur se souvient sans doute que pour résoudre des problèmes stratigraphiques on avait entrepris un test dans l'abri 26 des fouilles anciennes. Cela avait conduit à reconnaître - deux sépultures attribuables à une phase qui restait à déterminer peut-être le Natoufien ancien. Une de ces sépultures (H 174) avait été identifiée mais pas exposée. La fouille de cette tombe figurait parmi nos priorités. Il devait s'avérer qu'il s'agit d'une sépulture double exceptionnelle à certains égards et qui enrichit encore la gamme des pratiques funéraires attestées à Mallaha. Son exploration a entraîné la découverte d'une nouvelle sépulture d'enfant et peut-être deux. Ainsi, ce sont au moins trois sépultures et cinq sujets dont quatre immatures qui ont été exposés sous l'abri 26 et qui viennent s'ajouter au jeune enfant exposé en 1959-1960 par J.Perrot (Perrot 1966). Idéalement, l'objectif aurait dû être d'achever la fouille des constructions du Natoufien final mises au jour les années précédentes ainsi que celle du cailloutis dans lequel elles sont creusées. On aurait ainsi exposé la surface de la couche le, en vue de son exploration ultérieure. Pourtant un tel programme s'avérait beaucoup trop ambitieux dans le temps imparti. On s'est donc fixé un but plus modeste : mener à son terme l'exploration des quatre structures en cours d'étude : 215-228 dans l'unité stratigraphique Ib2 et 202, 203 et 200-208 dans l'unité stratigraphique Ibl (Figure 1). Chacune de ces structures avait révélé en microstratigraphie une succession compliquée d'événements. Mais nulle part on était parvenu à épuiser la richesse du remplissage. Il fallait donc essayer d'en

    Hafting and raw materials from animals. Guide to the identification of hafting traces on stone tools Veerle ROTS Prehistoric Archaeology Unit Katholieke Universiteit Leuven Geo-Institute Celestijnenlaan 200E (Pb: 02409), B-3001 Leuven, Heverlee (Belgique) [email protected] Rots V. 2008. – Hafting and raw materials from animals. Guide to the identification of hafting traces on stone tools. [DVD-ROM]1 . Anthropozoologica 43 (1): 43-66. ABSTRACT Stone tool hafting has been a widely discussed topic, but its identifica- tion on a prehistoric level has long been hampered. Given the organic nature of hafting arrangements, few remains are generally preserved. An overview is presented of animal materials that can be used for haft- ing stone tools, and examples are provided of preserved hafting arrangements made out of animal raw material. Based on the same principles as those determining the formation of use-wear traces on stone tools, it is argued that hafting traces are formed and can be iden- tified. The variables influencing the formation of hafting traces are KEY WORDS discussed. Specific wear patterns and trace attributes are provided for Stone tools, use-wear, different hafting arrangements that use animal raw material. It is hafting, concluded that the provided referential data allow for the identifi- wear pattern, experiments, cation of hafted stone tools on prehistoric sites and the identification animal raw material. of the hafting arrangement used.

  • Maritime Narratives of Prehistoric Cyprus: Seafaring As Everyday Practice
    Journal of Maritime Archaeology (2020) 15:415–450 https://doi.org/10.1007/s11457-020-09277-7(0123456789().,-volV)(0123456789().,-volV) ORIGINAL PAPER Maritime Narratives of Prehistoric Cyprus: Seafaring as Everyday Practice A. Bernard Knapp1 Accepted: 8 September 2020 / Published online: 16 October 2020 Ó The Author(s) 2020 Abstract This paper considers the role of seafaring as an important aspect of everyday life in the communities of prehistoric Cyprus. The maritime capabilities developed by early seafarers enabled them to explore new lands and seas, tap new marine resources and make use of accessible coastal sites. Over the long term, the core activities of seafaring revolved around the exploitation of marine and coastal resources, the mobility of people and the transport and exchange of goods. On Cyprus, although we lack direct material evidence (e.g. shipwrecks, ship representations) before about 2000 BC, there is no question that begin- ning at least by the eleventh millennium Cal BC (Late Epipalaeolithic), early seafarers sailed between the nearby mainland and Cyprus, in all likelihood several times per year. In the long stretch of time—some 4000 years—between the Late Aceramic Neolithic and the onset of the Late Chalcolithic (ca. 6800–2700 Cal BC), most archaeologists passively accept the notion that the inhabitants of Cyprus turned their backs to the sea. In contrast, this study entertains the likelihood that Cyprus was never truly isolated from the sea, and considers maritime-related materials and practices during each era from the eleventh to the early second millennium Cal BC. In concluding, I present a broader picture of everything from rural anchorages to those invisible maritime behaviours that may help us better to understand seafaring as an everyday practice on Cyprus.

Jsou temné a ošidné, vlhké a nejisté.“ Tomáš Pešina z Čechorodu, 1677* ABSTRACT: Interpretative models of the function and significance of caves in the early human society are closely interrelated with the development of archaeology, but also with the forming of thought of the society in the 19th and at the beginning of the 20th century that exerts its major influence in Central and SE Europe to this day. Using the period from the Neolithic to the Lower Eneolithic as an example, the submitted work examines the relations among archaeological finds, the character of caves, and the principal functional models of their use (settlement, shepherding, and cult). The most important archaeological sites are related mainly with dark or half-dark caves and evidence primarily ritual activities. At the same time the main stages of visits to caves correspond to the periods of major climatic changes comprising dry fluctuations. It seems that cult activities in such periods of climatic disorder were under way only in traditional societies, whereas the so-called cultures of advanced civilizations avoided caves. In the general cosmology the underground belongs to extra-human world, and similarly to the celestial sphere it is reserved for gods.

  • Migrations and Intercultural Relations in the Levant During PPNB Gaëlle Le Dosseur
    Bulletin du Centre de recherche français à Jérusalem n°21, année 2010 Migrations and Intercultural Relations in the Levant during PPNB Gaëlle Le Dosseur Before tackling the question of migrations and intercultural relations in the Levant during PPNB, we must discuss the concept of culture and explain why archaeologists prefer the term “material culture” which better fits the kind of reconstructions they are able to make. In anthropology, “culture” refers to any ethnographic group which presents significant differences with other groups (in its values, its behavior, its knowledge, whose limits coincide approximately) (Lévi- Strauss, 1958). The identified cultures are therefore not data but results of investigations and comparisons.1 Now the terms of comparisons never vary all at the same time from one culture to another, and the ones that vary in a concomitant way don’t always vary with the same intensity (Izard, 1991, p. 191). We must therefore be cautious in our use of the term “cultures” and remain aware that the limits of these cultures are all relative. This being said, can we identify cultures in archaeology? If defining culture is difficult for anthropologists who study all aspects of living societies, it is all the more so for archaeologists who deal with dead people. Indeed, archaeologists only have at their disposal material traces of a small part of technical, social, and symbolic activities. Thus, they limit themselves to identifying “material cultures,” which can be defined as coherent associations of characteristics whose traces are material. Archaeologists know that these “material cultures” don’t necessarily correspond to anthropological realities (Leclerc and Tarrête, 1995).

  • Chapter 6.2 the PLASTERED SKULLS1 Denise Schmandt-Besserat
    Chapter 6.2 THE PLASTERED SKULLS1 Denise Schmandt-Besserat Abstract: The chapter analyzes Skull 88-1, the most spectacular plastered skull from ‘Ain Ghazal, placing it in the PPNB plastered skulls tradition by comparing and contrasting it to parallel evidence from ever-larger contexts: (1) the fourteen decapitated heads at ‘Ain Ghazal, including five plain, three painted, and six plastered skulls; (2) the assemblages of plastered skulls in seven other Levantine sites including Jericho, Beisamoun, Kfar HaHoresh, Yiftahel, Tell Aswad, Tell Ramad, and one Turkish site, Kösk Höyük. Lastly, skull removal and plastering are considered in light of ancient Near Eastern iconography and early historical texts presenting decapitation as an abomination. Key Words: plastered skull, plastered face, funerary ritual, ancestor cult, necromancy While surveying the tell of ‘Ain Ghazal at the end of the 1987 season, members of the expedition spotted fragments of a human skull exposed in the profile of a bulldozer trench in a nearby highway construction site. Full excavation in 1988 revealed that the skull had a covering of plaster modeled in the form of a remarkably naturalistic face (Fig. 6.2.1) (Simmons, Boulton, and Roetzel Butler 1990). The discovery was significant because Skull 88-1 offers a striking example of a funerary practice already illustrated at ‘Ain Ghazal and in several other sites in the Levant and Turkey. The custom of reconstructing the features of the dead with plaster in the Levantine Neolithic has been the subject of several outstanding works. G.O. Rollefson (Rollefson 1990) has discussed the use of plaster at ‘Ain Ghazal; Y.
