Lithic raw materials procurement strategies depend on a series of factors such as e.g., resource availability, accessibility, and orogra- phy. This paper presents the results of the lithic raw material study of the Mousterian assemblages from Navalmaíllo Rock Shelter, Buena Pinta Cave and Des-Cubierta Cave sites located in Calvero de la Higuera, a karst hill situated in Pinilla del Valle, in the Lozoya River Valley in the Guadarrama Mountain range (Madrid, Spain). The diversity of occupation contexts in the same geo- logical environment allows for a comparison of resource management and environment occupation strategies between MIS5 and MIS3. Two of the features that highlight the archaeological sites of Calvero de la Higuera from the Iberian pattern of Neanderthal occupation and that motivated their study are their central geographical location and the intensive use of quartz and low chert proportions. A combination of three methodologies involving fieldwork and laboratory analysis were developed to determine the modes of acquisition and management of lithic resources: i) Geological surveys were carried out to take rock samples to map re- sources, determine and characterize the availability of resources and compare them with archaeological samples. Survey data was recorded using a mobile application designed for the project. ii) Laboratory analyses for macroscopic rock type determination, petrography and SEM / EDX for provenance study by comparing archaeological with geological specimens. iii) Two Experimen- tal Archaeology projects were developed to test the mechanical behaviour of quartz during knapping and abrasion wear. Abrasion experimentation was done in comparison with quartzite and flint samples, the two most used raw materials in Iberian Prehistory. The data gathered allowed for a first approach to the economic analysis of resource exploitation and use in the centre of the Iberian Peninsula by Neanderthal groups. It was concluded that Neanderthals in Calvero de la Higuera sites exploited mainly igneous and metamorphic local rocks. In some levels, there is the presence of exogenous raw materials from as far as 75 km in a straight line. Despite the difficulties in controlling the quartz knapping process, the acquisition and intensive use of quartz represents a practi- cal choice for its abundance in the surroundings, but also the effectiveness of its edges. Results show their ability of technological adaptation to the exploration and use of raw materials with different characteristics. Comparing the relationship between local and exogenous raw materials present at level F of Navalmaíllo Rock Shelter and level 23 of Cueva de la Buena Pinta, it was found that different resource exploitation strategies correspond to distinct climatic periods (MIS5a and MIS 4 respectively) and ways of occupying the landscape. Different strategies may reflect differentiated access to resources and/or changes in mobility strategies motivated by environmental changes. This research was conducted with the support of a doctoral grant (SFRH/BD/110511/2015) funded by the Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT - Portuguese Science Foundation) anda dissertation fieldwork grant funded by the Wenner-Gren Foundation for the Project “Raw Material Procurement Strategies from Pinilla del Valle’s Neanderthals”, both awarded to Ana Abrunhosa. We thank Professor Nuno Bicho for co-advising Ana Abrunhosa on her PhD and the support of the Pinilla del Valle Team. 2 An Interdisciplinary Micro-Contextual Laboratory Excavation of Fire Residues from Pech de l’Azé IV (Dordogne, France) Vera Aldeias1, Dan Cabanes2, Ángel Carrancho Alonso3, Giulia Gallo4, Paul Goldberg5, Susann Heinrich6, Li Li7, Carolina Mallol8, Shannon P.

There is currently renewed debate over the role of fire in Neandertal adaptations. One dataset that features in this debate comes from the Middle Paleolithic site of Pech de l’Azé IV [1, 2]. While there is variability of fire use throughout the sequence, at its base there is a thick, blackened deposit with numerous combustion features (Layer 8). However, while these features are clearly visible in section, they proved quite difficult to excavate during the 2000-2003 field seasons employing field methodologies that havebe- come standard in Paleolithic archaeology [3]. Now, we are re-excavating this layer to better understand variability in Neandertal fire features. For this, we have adopted a microcontextual approach to characterize combustion zones in terms of their surficial features and subsurface attributes, which reflect alterations of sediment and objects within the 3D volume affected by the heat.A plethora of techniques are currently available for archaeological research to target what is often called the invisible record. Our mi- crocontextual approach integrates a variety of these, including geology (microstratigraphy, micromorphology, organic petrology), palaeomagnetics, zooarchaeology, chemistry (gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, infrared spectroscopy), anthracology, lithic analysis, and phytoliths. Traditionally, samples for each of these techniques are collected separately according to technique-specific protocols. Here, we have developed a methodology to integrate and standardize high-resolution, high-saturation sample collection through 100% recovery of sediments using highly controlled laboratory excavations. This way, all researchers are essentially using the same ‘contextualized micro samples’,so results from each method are directly comparable. Our procedure is to remove blocks of sediment (70 cm long x 10 cm wide and encompassing the entire thickness of layer 8) while maintaining their integrity and their position relative to the site grid. The blocks are then excavated in the laboratory using a purpose-built cyclone vacuum system to collect all sediments into 50 ml glass vials that are immediately refrigerated. We use several excavation stations simultaneously, each with a Microscribe 3D digitizer to provenience finds and sediments relative to the original Pech de l’Azé IV grid system. This standardization enables multiple subsamples to be taken for different types of analysis from the same vial representing any particular micro-context. In addition, every third sediment block is used exclusively for micromorphology and geomagnetic analysis. These blocks are impregnated with resin and serve as a microstratigraphic “road- map” for the excavation of the surrounding blocks. Toensure accurate integration of field and lab coordinate systems, we developed programs and workflows for collecting and visualizing the data, including real time projection of excavated points and objects on to a structure from motion 3D models and into augmented reality visualizations of the site. Our preliminary results show that this microcontextual excavation methodology is operational and it vastly improves the pre- cision and efficiency of our ability to extract and observe microstratigraphic data. In this poster, we illustrate the workflow: from block removal, laboratory excavation, subsampling procedure, and 3D integration of data. The laboratory excavations under con- trolled lighting reveal subtle changes in the deposits that were not recognizable in the field. It became clear that Layer 8 is composed of several microstrata that vary both laterally and vertically. Ongoing analyses provide data on combustion feature attributes, in- cluding the distribution of temperatures achieved, depth of heat penetration, presence/absence of organic residues, and the type of fuel used. Research at Pech de L’Azé IV is funded through the project “The application of High Resolution Excavation in

Evolution serves as a foundation to many biological concepts by tying together the different tenants of biology, like ecology, anatomy, genetics, zoology, and taxonomy. It is for this reason that evolution plays a prominent role in the state and national standards and deserves thorough coverage in a classroom. A prime example of evolution can be seen in our own ancestral history, and this unit provides students with an excellent opportunity to consider the multiple lines of evidence that support hominid evolution. By allowing students the chance to uncover the supporting evidence for evolution themselves, they discover the ways the theory of evolution is supported by multiple sources. It is our hope that the opportunity to handle our ancestors’ bone casts and examine real molecular data, in an inquiry based environment, will pique the interest of students, ultimately leading them to conclude that the evidence they have gathered thoroughly supports the theory of evolution.

  • Distribution of Economic Power and Income Between Major Cities And
    Journal of Business and Economics, ISSN 2155-7950, USA December 2013, Volume 4, No. 12, pp. 1187-1200 Academic Star Publishing Company, 2013 http://www.academicstar.us Distribution of Economic Power and Income between Major Cities and Their Regions in Germany Werner Münzenmaier (Ministry of Finance and Economics Baden-Wuerttemberg, Neues Schloss, D70173 Stuttgart, Germany) Abstract: Based on National Accounts Data for production and income, this article deals with the question how intensive the five economically strongest German cities radiate into their neighboring regions. In this respect, the situation is very different for the five cities and their regions: (1) Two cities (Hamburg, Dusseldorf) are very dominant and exceed the districts of their respective region in all four per-capita indicators; (2) although Munich is an economically very strong city it is surpassed by some rural districts of its region with respect to productivity and income; (3) Frankfurt as an international banking center has a very productive economy and offers the highest earnings of all major cities but it looses a lot of purchasing power due to the commuting of well earning employees residing in more attractive neighboring communities; (4) the indicators show very small disparities within the Region of Stuttgart which is characterized by the production of cars and other investment goods and insofar differs from the other regions with core cities dominating in business services. Key words: regional accounts; labor productivity; compensation of employees; income; cities JEL codes: E01, J30, O18, R12 1. Introduction Major cities radiate in many ways into their neighboring regions. Typically, these cities are economically closely intertwined with the surrounding cities and municipalities and can therefore be considered as the core cities of an area.

O’Connell12, Isabel Israde24, James Feathers25, Claudio Campi26, Michael Richards1, Joachim Wahl2,27, Renato Kipnis3, Astolfo Araujo6 & Walter Neves3 Early Archaic human skeletal remains found in a burial context in Lapa do Santo in east- central Brazil provide a rare glimpse into the lives of hunter-gatherer communities in South America, including their rituals for dealing with the dead. These included the reduction of the body by means of mutilation, defleshing, tooth removal, exposure to fire and possibly cannibalism, followed by the secondary burial of the remains according to strict rules. In a later period, pits were filled with disarticulated bones of a single individual without signs of body manipulation, demonstrating that the region was inhabited by dynamic groups in constant transformation over a period of centuries.

  • Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Leicestershire and Rutland: Progress and Potential by Anne Graf
    Leic.Arch. Sept 2002 11/10/02 7:54 AM Page 1 Lower and Middle Palaeolithic Leicestershire and Rutland: progress and potential by Anne Graf Drawing on archaeological and geological research, recent finds, museum collections and borehole evidence, this paper describes the changing local landscape and environment round the Cromerian-period Bytham river valley, possibly the major early entry route to Britain from Europe; the succeeding pro-glacial Lake Harrison and present-day post-glacial rivers; and highlights deposits with Palaeolithic archaeological potential. Palaeolithic tools of quartzite, comparable with other Midlands raw materials, and of andesitic and Charnian tuff may suggest occupation from around 600,000 BC, while flint tools suggest at least intermittent post-Anglian occupation, followed by probable abandonment from after 160,000 BC until possible Devensian re-occupation by Neanderthalers post- 60,000 BC. Introduction The last twenty years have seen very exciting results for the Palaeolithic period in Leicestershire and Rutland. This paper discusses these results, which are placed in the contexts both of the local landscape changes, and of the growing national understanding of key Palaeolithic issues. The paper aims to provide a summary of current knowledge of the Lower and Middle Palaeolithic occupants and their environments and landscapes in these two counties, and to highlight potential for further investigation. The local, and many national, sites, to which references can be found in the bibliography, are presented in the timechart in illus. 1, with their relative positions within current archaeological and geological divisions and phases. Throughout the timechart and the rest of this paper ‘thousand [years] ago’ will be abbreviated to ‘ka’, while the oxygen isotope stages now used for international date correlations (see below) will also be abbreviated, so that, for example, OIS-16 indicates oxygen isotope stage 16.

( ) = Aussagewert eingeschränkt, da der Zahlenwert statistisch unsicher ist. / = keine Angabe, da Zahlenwert nicht sicher genug. X = Tabellenfeld gesperrt, weil Aussage nicht sinnvoll (oder bei Veränderungsraten ist die Ausgangszahl kleiner als 100). D = Durchschnitt. s = geschätzte Zahl. p = vorläufige Zahl. r = berichtigte Zahl. Aus Gründen der Übersichtlichkeit sind nur negative Veränderungsraten und Salden mit einem Vorzeichen versehen. Positive Veränderungsraten und Salden sind ohne Vorzeichen. Im Allgemeinen ist ohne Rücksicht auf die Endsumme auf- bzw. abgerundet worden. Das Ergebnis der Summierung der Einzelzahlen kann deshalb geringfügig von der Endsumme abweichen.
