Early modern humans, in contrast, tend to feature a level (or sloping) nasal floor. Sufficiently intact maxillae are rare among eastern Eurasian Pleistocene humans, but several fos- sils provide nasal floor configurations. The available eastern Eurasian Late Pleistocene early modern humans have predominantly level nasal floors, similar to western early modern humans. Of the four observable eastern Eurasian archaic Homo maxillae (Sangiran 4, Chaoxian 1, Xujiayao 1, and Chang- yang 1), three have the bi-level pattern and the fourth is scored as bi-level/sloping. It therefore appears that bi-level nasal floors were common among Pleistocene archaic humans, and a high frequency of them is not distinctive of the Neandertals. Key words: noses, maxilla, Asia, palate, Neandertal Introduction dominate with the bi-level configuration being present in ≤10% in all but a sub-Saharan African “Bantu” sample In his descriptions of the Shanidar Neandertal crania, (Table 1).

Fossil remains of squirrels occur in relatively few sites and generally with very few specimens, sometimes only one or two teeth. Recent finds of a Sciurus vulgaris mandible from Grotta Mora Cavorso (Latium), and the reanalysis of the red squirrel remains from the Caverna delle Arene Candide (Liguria), the Riparo Soman (Veneto) and the Grotta del Santuario della Madonna (Calabria) provide new data and insights on the change in size of the rodent and on its geographic and ecological distribution in the Pleistocene and Holocene of Italy. The study of food preferences of the current red squirrel predators provides solid comparative data to measure the relative rarity of the bone remains found in the Late Pleistocene and Holocene paleontological deposits and archaeological contexts.

Barcelona. Spain. [email protected]. Recebido: 2 Novembro 2017 / Aceite: 2 Setembro 2018 / Disponível online: 25 Abril 2019 Abstract The northern Mediterranean region have been subject of paleontological research for a long time. The avian record from this region, despite of its incompleteness, is accurate enough to support certain inquiries into the paleoenvironmental changes that occurred during the Pleistocene. We account on a fair number of works on climate and environmental changes in the past of this region, based on geological, palynological and faunal records. Avian communities have been widely used for such a purpose as a reliable proxy of climatic and biotic conditions. However, not all birds are equally confident in this regard. The past geographic distributions of galliforms is meaningful in this respect as such a group of birds is composed in most cases of non-migratory species. This fact avoids the animal to have been recorded over migration, or to discriminate between wintering and breeding climatic or environmental conditions. The present study have been carried out with galliform records from layers bearing precise datings. The work focusses on the northwestern margin of the Mediterranean basin due to the fact that the data are more abundant in this area.

  • The Many Faces of the Gravettian
    THE MANY FACES OF THE GRAVETTIAN Abstract The Gravettian phenomenon (ca 34,000 to 24,000 years ago) is a complex biocultural adaptation to cold and arid glacial conditions, evidence of the remarkable adaptive flexibility of anatomically modern humans. The Gravettian is spread across Europe from Portugal to the Urals. Why does the Gravettian matter? With the focus on the ‘origins’ of modern humans, we have almost forgotten the evolutionary patterns in later Homo sapiens. The many faces of the Gravettian form a rich source of information on modern human evolution and the social and cultural adaptations developed during the Upper Paleolithic of Europe. The session aims to address this issue and discuss current research in terms of: 1 theoretical frameworks 2 proxies for behavioural variability 3 fieldwork circumstances (especially sampling strategies and scientific methods) Explanation What do we mean by the “many faces” of the Gravettian? Regional diversity in (lithic) tools seems to be one of the hallmarks of the Gravettian, when compared to the relative uniformity of the Early and Late Aurignacian. Font Robert points, Noaillian, Rayssian, Late Gravettian, Pavlovian, Willendorf-Kostienkian, Sagvarian, Kašovian, Epigravettian are just a few of the labels used to try and categorise this diversity in Europe. The “many faces” refer to the mosaic character of the Gravettian. A better understanding of this regional diversity comes with another sense of “many faces”, namely the exploration of the full spectrum of behaviors and activities, cultural remains and material signatures. Since the 1990s, lithic analysis has moved beyond form, faunal analysis has moved beyond species determination, site analysis has moved beyond age and cultural attribution: the integration of all data is used to reconstruct the full range of activities and practices leading to the archaeological record and brings the Gravettian mosaic to full scope.
