Decorated Caves of Spain and France HIGHLIGHTS AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY EXPEDITIONS Decorated Caves of Spain and France May 25―June 4, 2017 With Paleoanthropologist Ian Tattersall At the Museum, the Anne and Bernard Spitzer Hall of Human Origins probes some of the deepest mysteries of humankind: where we come from, who we are. Delve into these questions, and examine the origins of human creativity, on this NEW itinerary, designed by Dr. Ian Tattersall exclusively for Patrons Circle Members. The Pyrenees and adjacent areas offer many astonishing—but almost entirely unheralded—examples of Ice Age art that offer unique windows into the lives, achievements, and sensibilities of our ancient forebears. Admire unusual and elegant bas-relief animal images in Basque caves, a profusion of hand prints at Gargas, and the famous panels of line-drawn and subtly shaded bison, horse, and ibex images at Niaux. The trip concludes with a visit to the newly opened Chauvet cave replica at Vallons- Pont d’Arc, which expertly re-creates the earliest, and perhaps most impressive, of the many masterpieces of Ice Age art. The sophisticated animal images in this beautiful cave amazed archaeologists when they were dated to some 35,000 years ago. HIGHLIGHTS WALK DEEP into the original decorated caves of Isturitz and Oxocelhaya, Niaux, Bédeilhac, and Gargas. STEP BACK IN TIME to behold the delightful animal images in Covalanas, and the incredible frieze in El Pendo. EXPERIENCE PREHISTORY at the newly opened replica of Chauvet cave; Ekainberri, an exact replica of the Ekain cave; and Arago, where “Tautavel Man,” some of Europe’s best preserved hominid remains, were found. IMAGINE AGES PAST as you explore the Parc de la Préhistoire, experiencing the prehistory of the region through its museum and reconstructions. DISCOVER CONTEMPORARY LIFE in Bilbao, a dynamic and complex city defined by its river and surrounded by mountains. RELAX AND UNWIND in beautifully appointed accommodations, thoughtfully designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. TRAVEL HASSLE-FREE throughout the trip a with professional tour manager who attends to every detail. ENJOY MEMBERSHIP in the Museum’s Patrons Circle and continue your exploration of the natural world, and humanity’s place in it, throughout the coming year. www.amnh.org/expeditions ● 800-462-8687 ● [email protected] Decorated Caves of Spain and France May 25 – June 4, 2017 Page 2 of 7 Leader Bio Ian Tattersall, American Museum of Natural History curator emeritus, is a renowned expert on physical anthropology and human evolution.

  • Abstracts of Reports and Posters
    Abstracts of Reports and Posters Amira Adaileh The Magdalenian site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld The open air site of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in Sachsen-Anhalt, Eastern Germany. It was discov- ered in the mid 1950´s in the immediate vicinity of the famous Magdalenian site of Saaleck. Since that time, archaeologists collected over 2000 lithic artifacts during systematical surveys. The technological and typological analyses of the lithic artifacts confirmed the assignment of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld to a late Magdalenian. Furthermore, the investigation of the surface collections brought forward information about the character of this camp site, the duration of its occupation and the pattern of raw material procure- ment. The fact that Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is located in a region with more than 100 Magdalenian sites fostered a comparison of the lithic inventory with other Magdalenian assemblages. Thus, allowing to spec- ify the position of the Lengefeld collection within the chorological context of the Magdalenian in Eastern Germany. Jehanne Affolter, Ludovic Mevel Raw material circulation in northern french alps and Jura during lateglacial interstadial : method, new data and paleohistoric implication Since fifteen years the study of the characterization and origin of flint resources used by Magdalenian and Azilian groups in northern French Alps and Jura have received significant research work. Diverse and well distributed spatially, some of these resources were used and disseminated throughout the late Upper Paleolithic. Which changes do we observe during the Magdalenian then for the Azilian? The results of petrographic analysis and techno-economic analysis to several archaeological sites allow us to assess dia- chronic changes in economic behavior of these people and discuss the significance of these results.

  • Alfred Czarnetzki 1937–2013
    Bulletin der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Anthropologie 19(1): 5–13 (2013) Bulletin de la Société Suisse d’Anthropologie 19(1): 5–13 (2013) ISSN 14208-4835 Alfred Czarnetzki 1937–2013 Alfred Czarnetzki, langjähriger Leiter der Abteilung Paläanthropologie und Osteologie sowie der Osteo- logischen Sammlung der Universität Tübingen, ist am 20. Mai 2013 verstorben. Mit ihm verliert nicht nur die Deutsche Anthropologie einen engagierten und vielseitigen Forscher und Lehrer, dessen Wirken weit über seinen Tod hinaus präsent und produktiv bleiben wird. Am 4. Februar 1937 in Bochum geboren, studierte Alfred Czarnetzki in Köln und Tübingen Anthropologie mit den Nebenfächern Geologie und Paläontologie sowie Ur- und Frühgeschichte. 1966 promovierte er in Tübingen zum Dr. rer. nat. mit einer Arbeit zu den menschlichen Skelettresten aus vier neolithischen Steinkisten Hessens und Niedersachsens. Von 1968 an war er am Institut für Anthropologie und Humangenetik der Universität Tübingen zunächst als Assistent, zuletzt als Akademischer Oberrat tätig. Im Jahre 1973 wurde er Leiter der Osteologischen Sammlung der Universität, die er systematisch ausbaute und die sich in der Folgezeit zu einer Anlaufstelle für Forschende aus der ganzen Welt entwickelte. Dank seines Engagements wurde die Sammlung 1982 zu der eigenständigen Forschungs- und Lehreinrichtung (Abteilung) für Paläanthropologie und Osteologie der Medizinischen Zeiten, in denen das „Orchideenfach“ Physische bzw. Fakultät der Universität Tübigen ausgebaut. Die Prähistorische Anthropologie trotz
