Issues of Chronological and Geographical Distributions Of Issues of Chronological and Geographical Distributions of Middle 4 and Upper Palaeolithic Cultural Variability in the Levant and Implications for the Learning Behavior of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens Seiji Kadowaki Abstract This paper examines chronological and geographical cultural variability during the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic in the Levant, using part of the archaeological database covering a temporal range from ca. 300 to 20 kya and the geographic areas of Africa and Eurasia. This database has been constructed in order to organize archaeological data available from the time periods and geographic areas where Homo sapiens presumably emerged and dispersed with a replacement or assimilation of preceding populations, including Neanderthals. The purpose of this examination is to discuss research issues regarding the potential differ- ences in learning behavior between Neanderthals and Homo sapiens , that are in line with the primary objectives of the research project entitled “Replacement of Neanderthals by Modern Humans: Testing Evolutionary Models of Learning” (the RNMH project; Akazawa, 2012). Although theoretical links between learning strategies and patterns of cultural change are proposed on the basis of cultural evolutionary theory, an attempt to test this objective empir- ically with archaeological data entails a number of challenges. The paper addresses these problems through empirical examinations of chronological and geographic distributions of lithic industries.

Kadowaki The temporal and spatial range covered by the database of prehistoric cultures. There are two reasons for this. First, for this project is set from ca. 300 to 20 kya in Africa and almost any project dealing with broad temporal and spatial Eurasia, that is broader than those directly related to the ranges, lithics are the only archaeological remains that are RNMH events per se. This is because our aim is not just to consistently available under various conditions and can pro- trace the timings and frontiers of the RNMH events on the a vide a suffi cient sample size to justify plausible interpreta- priori assumption that such anthropological events are tions. In fact, lithic technology constitutes the main directly refl ected in archaeological records, but to organize descriptive features of Palaeolithic archaeology across wide archaeological data available from the time periods and geo- regions, including those targeted in this project (e.g., graphic areas, where Homo sapiens presumably emerged Barham and Mitchell 2008 ; Dennel 2009 ; Hovers and Kuhn and dispersed with replacement or assimilation of preceding 2006 ). Second, recent defi nitions of lithic industries tend to populations, including Neanderthals.

PALABRAS CLAVE: Auriñaciense, tipología lítica, tecnología lítica, tecnología orgánica, Eurasia occidental. Geoffrey A. CLARK* Julien RIEL-SALVATORE* ABSTRACT For the Aurignacian to have heuristic validity, it must share a number of defining characteristics that co-occur systematically across space and time. To test its compositional integrity, we examine data from 52 levels identified as Aurignacian by their excavators. Classical indicators of the French Aurignacian are reviewed and used to contextualize data from other regions, allowing us to assess whether or not the Aurignacian can be considered a single, coherent archaeological entity. RESUMEN Para tener validez heurística, el Auriñaciense tiene que compartir características que co-ocurren sistemáticamente a través del espacio y tiempo.
