In order to understand the behaviours and subsistence choices of Palaeolithic hunter–
gatherers, it is essential to understand the behavioural ecology of their prey. Here, we …

Neandertals were effective hunters of large ungulates throughout their geographic and
temporal ranges. Equipped with this knowledge, researchers in paleoanthropology continue …

This thesis explores the use of multi-element isotope analysis and intra-tooth sampling to
reconstruct prey species ecology and biogeography. Modern caribou (Rangifer tarandus …

Abstract The Middle Palaeolithic site of Payre in southeastern France yields abundant
archaeological material associated with fossil hominid remains. With its long sequence of …

Monospecific exploitation of reindeer by Neanderthals is a common behaviour in the Upper
Pleistocene of Western Europe. However, reindeer-dominated assemblages have largely …

The understanding of Neanderthal societies, both with regard to their funerary behaviors
and their subsistence activities, is hotly debated. Old excavations and a lack of taphonomic …

As evidence concerning human mobility during the transition to agriculture in central
Europe, we present the results of strontium isotope analysis of human skeletons from the …

Isotopic analyses of incrementally developed dental tissues can be used to reveal patterns
of movement and diet in animals. However, the suitability of these methods for the …

Understanding the reason (s) behind changes in human mobility strategies through space
and time is a major challenge in palaeoanthropology. Most of the time this is due to the lack …

This study of Middle Palaeolithic assemblages from the Rhone Valley, in the South-East of
France, increases our understanding of Neanderthal subsistence strategies and modes of …
