Cílem bylo vytvořit databázi ostatků AMČ a in- terpretovat nálezové okolnosti z lokalit, které se nachází na území Portugalské republiky, Španělského království, Německé spolkové republiky, Rakouské republiky, České republiky a na území Polské republiky. Základem práce se stalo studium paleoantropologické tuzem- ské a světové literatury. Protože nálezy AMČ jsou často izolované a v některých případech i velmi fragmentované je velmi obtížné interpretovat, které procesy zapříčinily izolovanost a fragmentárnost ostatků. Ve výsledku lze říci, že ze skeletálních nálezů AMČ jsou nejpo- četnější fragmenty diafýz končetin, byť jsou zastoupeny na méně lokalitách. Pokud vezme v úvahu hustotu kostí na morfologii, pak je ale větší pravděpodobnost dochování kranioden- tálních prvků (což dokládá sice jejich menší počet v porovnání s kostmi končetin, zato jsou zastoupeny na větším spektru lokalit). 5 IZOLOVANÉ KOSTERNÍ NÁLEZY ANATOMICKY MODERNÍHO ČLOVĚKA Z MLADÉHO PALEOLITU Abstract The master thesis addresses the issue of isolated skeletal remains of anatomically modern human (AMH) dated to the Upper Palaeolithic. The aim was to create a database of AMH remains and to interpret their finding circumstances from localities located in the Portuguese Republic, the Kingdom of Spain, the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Austria, the Czech Republic and the Republic of Poland. The work was based on the study of paleo- anthropological Czech and international literature. Due to the fact, that AMH findings are often isolated and, in some cases, very fragmented, it is very difficult to interpret which processes caused the isolation and fragmentation of these remains. As a result, it can be said that of the skeletal findings of AMH, the most numerous are fragments of the diaphysis of the limbs, although they are represented in fewer localities. However, if we take into account the bone density on the morphology, then there is a greater probability of preservation of craniodental elements (which is evidenced by their smaller number compared to the bones of the limbs, but they are represented in a wider range of localities). 6 IZOLOVANÉ KOSTERNÍ NÁLEZY ANATOMICKY MODERNÍHO ČLOVĚKA Z MLADÉHO PALEOLITU 7 IZOLOVANÉ KOSTERNÍ NÁLEZY ANATOMICKY MODERNÍHO ČLOVĚKA Z MLADÉHO PALEOLITU Čestné prohlášení Prohlašuji, že jsem diplomovou práci na téma Izolované kosterní nálezy anatomicky moderního člověka z mladého paleolitu zpracoval sám.

  • Non-Figurative Cave Art in Northern Spain
    THE CAVES OF CANTABRIA: NON-FIGURATIVE CAVE ART IN NORTHERN SPAIN by Dustin Riley A thesis submitted To the School of Graduate Studies in partial fulfllment of the requirments for the degree of Master of Arts, Department of Archaeology Memorial University of Newfoundland January, 2017 St. John’s Newfoundland and Labrador Abstract This project focuses on non-figurative cave art in Cantabrian (Spain) from the Upper Palaeolithic (ca. 40,000-10,000). With more than 30 decorated caves in the region, it is one of the world’s richest areas in Palaeolithic artwork. My project explores the social and cultural dimensions associated with non-figurative cave images. Non-figurative artwork accounts for any image that does not represent real world objects. My primary objectives are: (1) To produce the first detailed account of non-figurative cave art in Cantabria; (2) To examine the relationships between figurative and non-figurative images; and (3) To analyse the many cultural and symbolic meanings associated to non- figurative images. To do so, I construct a database documenting the various features of non-figurative imagery in Cantabria. The third objective will be accomplished by examining the cultural and social values of non-figurative art through the lens of cognitive archaeology. ii Acknowledgements I would like to thank and express my gratitude to the members of the Department of Archaeology at Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador for giving me the opportunity to conduct research and achieve an advanced degree. In particular I would like to express my upmost appreciation to Dr. Oscar Moro Abadía, whose guidance, critiques, and continued support and confidence in me aided my development as a student and as a person.

  • The Interpretation of Upper Palaeolithic Parietal
    UNIVERSITY OF MALTA THE INTERPRETATION OF UPPER PALAEOLITHIC PARIETAL PAINTINGS BY: SARAH BUSUTTIL APRIL 2002 DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE DEPARTMENT OF CLASSICS AND ARCHAEOLOGY, FACULTY OF ARTS IN PART FULFILLMENT OF A B.A. (Hons.) DEGREE IN ARCHAEOLOGY I PREFACE. Aii is one of the factors of human life that fall under the category of symbolism. In my study I will focus on the paintings of Upper Palaeolithic Western Europe that are found in the Franco-Cantabrian caves. My interest in this study was triggered off in my search for the first tangible and intensely manifested fonn of art that the Homo Sapiens Sapiens has produced. In fact, the Franco-Cantabrian caves attest to the grandest form of symbolism of our human ancestors. It is through this same symbolism that man has managed to pass on some of his intrinsic beliefs in a simplified pictorial way. Yet, it is these 'simplified' messages that have proved so difficult for scholars to read what our primitive ancestors wanted to say. This has all resulted from the fact that we are studying a stage from prehistory. Since the time of the first discoveries of these paintings, controversies have been rampant as to how we could interpret such a heritage. In order to try and get a good stronghold on the wide picture, my aim was to follow the development of the theories that have been proposed up to now, together with a concise resume of the paintings themselves. The biggest question ever that continues to elude scholars is the meaning of these widely acclaimed painted canvases.

A maxilla and associated dentition recently discovered at Misliya Cave, Israel, was dated to 177,000 to 194,000 years Downloaded from ago, suggesting that members of the Homo sapiens clade left Africa earlier than previously thought. This finding changes our view on modern human dispersal and is consistent with recent genetic studies, which have posited the possibility of an earlier dispersal of Homo sapiens around 220,000 years ago.The Misliya maxilla is associated with full-fledged Levallois technology in the Levant, suggesting that the emergence of this technology is linked to the appearance of Homo sapiens in the region, as has been documented in Africa.

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.

  • The Mammals and Birds from the Gruta Do Caldeirão, Portugal SIMON J
    The mammals and birds from the Gruta do Caldeirão, Portugal SIMON J. M. DAVIS1 ABSTRACTCaldeirão cave is 140 km north east of Lisbon near the town of Tomar. João Zilhão, of the University of Lisbon, excavated Caldeirão between 1979 and 1988. It con- tains a sequence of levels with associated cultural remains belonging to the Mousterian, Early Upper Palaeolithic, Solutrean, Magdalenian and Neolithic. Faunal remains from a wide spectrum of species were recovered by sieving. The most common large mammals include red deer, equids, goat, chamois, aurochs, and wild boar. Large carnivores, especially hyaena, were common in the older levels, and became scarcer or disappeared in the course of the cave’s occupation. Other carnivores include four species of felids, wolf, fox, bear and badger. Rabbit, hare and beaver were also present. Caldeirão provides us with an interesting zoo-archaeological puzzle. Did the cave function more as a hyaena den, at least in its early periods of occupation? The main indicators of hyaena activity include the presence of Crocuta remains, coprolites, and “semi-digested” bones. All these are most common in Mousterian and EUP levels. Burn marks are scarce in the Mousterian and EUP levels, but abundant in subsequent levels. The lithics to bone ratios are low in the Mousterian and EUP, but high in the Solutrean. Most remains of the equids and red deer are juvenile in the early levels and adult in the later ones — a possible reflection of hyaenas’ inability to hunt and/or bring back to the cave adults of these species. It is proposed that the cave functioned more as a hyaena den in the early levels and that subsequently hyaenas disappeared as people used the cave more intensively.
