Email: [email protected] Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment Seat; But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth, When two strong men stand face to face, tho’ they come from the ends of the earth! —Rudyard Kipling “The Ballad of East and West” The idea to assemble this special section came to my mind in May 2000, when I was at the NSF-Ari- zona AMS Facility at the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, USA, and organizing the com- plete set of Radiocarbon collected by Prof Douglas J Donahue in the laboratory. At the time, I was a “freshman” on the journal’s editorial board. Before that, I was involved in several projects, dealing with the peopling of North America, under IREX and Fulbright fellowships. Having seen several special issues, “Calibration” 1986, 1993, and 1998 issues; “Paleoastrophysics and Paleogeophys- ics”; “14C Cycling and the Oceans”; “Varves/Comparison”, etc., I thought: “Why has an important subject, like the 14C evidence of the peopling of the New World, never had the opportunity to be the focus of a Radiocarbon special issue?” Fortunately, this raw idea was immediately supported by the journal’s editor, A J T Jull, and was finally approved by the editorial board at a business meeting, held at the Ma’ale Hachamicha Hotel in the Judean Hills near Jerusalem on 20 June 2000. After a search for possible contributors (some of were invited, some contacted Radiocarbon after seeing the announcement on the journal’s webpage), work started on this subject. Two and a half years later, we have a collection of papers that constitute the special section, “Old and New World Connections”. Since the Old World is essentially in the East, and the New World in the West, they did not get along well in post-WWII times, an echo of the Cold War. Nowadays, there is no more “stand face to face” as is mentioned in the epigraph; we instead cooperate in the study of the com- plex and intriguing process of the peopling of the New World, and this is a good example of such joint efforts. It is also reflected in the special section’s logo (see the front cover of this issue), where two well-known artifact types, the wedge-shaped microcore of the Dyuktai culture of Yakutia and the lanceolate projectile point from the Mesa site of Alaska, represent two sides of the same story— human migration from West to East, from the Old World to the New one. In this special section, the Old World means Asia (Japan, Korea, and the Asiatic part of Russia), and the New World consists of the Americas and Australia. All papers generally follow the “Out of Asia” scenario, assuming that Asia was the source of the initial peopling for both the Americas and Australia. The main focus here is the 14C chronology of the prehistoric occupation, with emphasis on the earliest evidences of human presence in Asia, North and South America, and Australia, within the limit of 14C dating, about the last 45,000–50,000 14C years. S J Fiedel presents a comprehensive critical review of the peopling of the Americas, with extensive use of the 14C data corpus from Paleoindian complexes and from other early sites.

  • Microblade–Based Societies in North China at the End of the Ice Age
    quaternary Article Microblade–Based Societies in North China at the End of the Ice Age Meng Zhang 1,2 1 Department of Cultural Heritage and Museology, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China; [email protected] 2 Institute of Archaeological Science, Fudan University, Shanghai 200433, China Received: 23 May 2020; Accepted: 3 July 2020; Published: 9 July 2020 Abstract: One of the most prominent cultural changes during the end of Ice Age in northeastern Asia was the adoption of microblade technology by prehistoric hunter–gatherers to deal with the challenge brought by the climate deterioration and oscillation during and post the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). The Pleistocene to Holocene transition in North China witnessed the rise of broader spectrum subsistence alongside a series of cultural changes, including adoption of food production, highly mobile lifeways being replaced by sedentism, and the formation of new social organization based on their agricultural land–use patterns. From the perspective of technological change, this project aims to build a socio–ecological framework to examine the cultural change of prehistoric microblade–based societies. In contrast to previous studies, the present research employs a macroecological approach based on Binford’s Constructing Frames of Reference (2001) to reconstruct the behaviors and demography of prehistoric foraging groups, under both modern and LGM climate conditions. Three case studies are conducted to show cultural and technological changes among microblade–based societies in North

  • Climatic Influences on Appearance and Development of Neolithic Cultures in Southern Outskirts of Carpathian Basin
    Studia Quaternaria, vol. 33, no. 1 (2016): 11–26. DOI: 10.1515/squa-2016-0002 CLIMATIC INFLUENCES ON APPEARANCE AND DEVELOPMENT OF NEOLITHIC CULTURES IN SOUTHERN OUTSKIRTS OF CARPATHIAN BASIN Katarina Botiæ Institute of Archaeology, Ljudevita Gaja 32, HR-10000 Zagreb, Croatia, e-mail: [email protected] Abstract Southern outskirts of Carpathian basin, namely the region between Sava, Drava and Danube rivers, have specific cli- mate conditions today partially influenced by geological structure and geographical position. In this region Neolithic Starèevo and Sopot cultures are observed. Radiocarbon dates for Neolithic cultures are used to build a time frame which is compared with climate proxies, especially with Holocene rapid climate events (8.2, 5.9 and 4.2 ka), to draw a conclusion on when and how these cultures developed in southern regions of Carpathian basin. Lacking firm geoar- chaeological data the results are not conclusive but can provide some insight on how the climate may have directly and indirectly influenced development of Neolithic and beginning of Eneolithic period in the region. Key words: northern Croatia, Slavonia, Neolithic, Starèevo and Sopot cultures, rapid climate events (8.2, 5.9 and 4.2 ka). Manuscript received 17 July 2015, accepted 12 February 2016 INTRODUCTION Southern outskirts of Carpathian basin, the region ob- served in this paper, in geographical sense covers the region Attempts of absolute dating of Neolithic cultures in between Sava, Drava and Danube rivers (Fig. 1).

    CLOTTES J. (dir.) 2012. — L’art pléistocène dans le monde / Pleistocene art of the world / Arte pleistoceno en el mundo Actes du Congrès IFRAO, Tarascon-sur-Ariège, septembre 2010 – Symposium « Signes, symboles, mythes et idéologie… » Symbolism and becoming a hunter-gatherer Iain DAVIDSON* I dedicate this paper to the memory of Andrée Rosenfeld. From the time when, as an undergraduate, I read her book with Peter Ucko (Ucko & Rosenfeld 1967) that corrected the excesses of the structuralist approach to French cave “art” to the occasion of a visit to her home only months before she passed away, I found Andrée a model of good sense about all matters to do with all forms of rock “art”. She gave me and many others nothing but sound advice and managed to navigate between theory and data with more clear sight of her destination than most others. And she was, simply, one of the nicest people who ever became an archaeologist. She will be sorely missed. Pleistocene paintings and engravings are not art From time to time, we all worry about the use of the word “art” in connection with what we study (see review in Bradley 2009, Ch. 1). The images on rock and other surfaces that concern us here have some visual similarity with some of what is called art in other contexts, particularly when they are of great beauty (e.g. Chauvet et al. 1995; Clottes 2001). Yet the associations of art –paintings, sculptures and other works– over the last six hundred years (see e.g. Gombrich 1995) (or perhaps only three hundred according to Shiner 2001), mean that it is highly unlikely that any paintings or engraved images on rocks or in caves relate to social, economic, and cultural circumstances similar in any way to those of art in the twenty-first century.

Bölge topraklarından geçen Trans-Sibirya Demiryolu yalnızca Uzak Doğu ile Rusya'nın batı bölgeleri arasında bir ulaşım bağlantısı değil, aynı zamanda Avrasya geçişini sağlayan küresel altyapının da bir parçasıdır. Bölgenin üretim yapısında sanayi, tarım ve ulaşım yüksek bir paya sahiptir. Bu çalışmada Trans-Baykal Bölgesi’nin fiziki, beşeri ve ekonomik coğrafya özellikleri ele alınmıştır. Trans-Baykal Bölgesinin coğrafi özelliklerinin yanı sıra, ekonomik ve kültürel yapısını incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda konu ile ilgili kurumsal raporlardan ve alan araştırmalarından yararlanılmıştır. Bu çalışma sonucunda 350 yıldan beri Rus gelenek, kültür ve yaşam tarzının devam ettiği, farklı etnik grupların toplumsal birliği sağladığı, yer altı kaynaklarının bölge ekonomisi için yüzyıllardır olduğu gibi günümüzde de önem arz ettiği, coğrafyasının halkın yaşam şeklini belirdiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
