Herbivore teeth are a valuable source of information for inferring the hunting season of past
hunter-gatherers, the spatial–temporal organization of their activities, their socio-economic …

Seasonality in archaeological sites can be inferred using different methods such as tooth
eruption and wear patterns, stable isotopes or cementochronology. In this paper we propose …

We propose for the first time the use of the combination of two high-resolution techniques,
dental wear (meso-and microwear) and dental cementum analyses, to gain a better …

Neanderthals are widely known to be a resilient human species that successfully faced
constant and strong environmental fluctuations modifying the landscapes they inhabited and …

A new approach combining two proxies is presented with the aim to provide valuable data to
better understand the patterns of human occupations in Palaeolithic sites. We employed the …

Abstract The study of Neanderthal-Environment interactions very often lacks precise data
that match the chrono-geographical frame of human activities. Here, we reconstruct …

Testing Neanderthal behavioural hypotheses requires a spatial–temporal resolution to the
level of a human single occupation episode. Yet, most of the behavioural data on …

Neanderthals have been traditionally considered at the top of the food chain with a diet
mostly consisting of animal proteins. New findings challenged this view and suggested that …

Abstract The Crimean Peninsula has a rich archaeological record characterised by
numerous multi-layered sites from the Middle Palaeolithic and by a number of important …

Diet is closely connected to the habitat exploited by ungulates and is one of the main links
between them and the surrounding environment. When climatic fluctuations modified the …
