Die Entdeckung eines ersten, auf 1,8 Millionen Jahre datierten menschlichen Unterkiefers machte Dmanisi 1991 weltberühmt. Bestehende Modelle zur Ausbreitung des Frühen Menschen von Afrika nach Eurasien waren neu zu überdenken. Weitere bedeutende Fossilfunde im Kontext einer reichen Fauna folgten. Ihre Analyse erlaubt u.a. Rückschlüsse auf die Art der Landnutzung durch den Frühen Menschen.

Research paper thumbnail of Some comments on the terminology of the Late Glacial in Central Europe and the problem of its application to SW Europe

Today, the Late Glacial interstadials Bolling and Allerod, originally defined in northern Europe,... more Today, the Late Glacial interstadials Bolling and Allerod, originally defined in northern Europe, are often applied as chronozones in different palaeoclimate contexts across the Northern Hemisphe- re. The scientific community in both palaeoclimate research and archaeology often disregards the fact that the Meiendorf interstadial has long been identified as preceding the Bolling-Allerod sequence, and that there are lots of difficulties with the synchronization of the Oldest Dryas-Bolling-Older Dryas-sequence. Synchronization of important Central European high-resolution pollen records with the Greenland GRIP ice core demonstrates a strong climatic gradient from the South to the North of Europe over the entire Late Glacial. Therefore, the northern European interstadials (Meiendorf, Bolling, Allerod) cannot serve universally as Late Glacial chronozones with reference to their characteristic pollen compositions, even though they are of greatest importance for the understanding of the re...

The projected volumes will present the diverse achievements of research activities, originally designed to implement the project's strategy, in the fields of archaeology, paleoanthropology, cultural anthropology, population biology, earth sciences, developmental psychology, biomechanics, and neuroscience. Comprehensive research models will be used to integrate the discipline-specific research outcomes from those various perspectives. The series, aimed mainly at providing a set of multidisciplinary perspectives united under the overarching concept of learning strategies, will include monographs and edited collections of papers focusing on specific problems related to the goals of the project, employing a variety of approaches to the analysis of the newly acquired data sets.

Hominin occupation of the Tibetan Plateau during the Last Interglacial Complex

Quaternary Science Reviews, 2021

Recent work on the Tibetan Plateau has documented hominin occupations by Denisovans at Baishiya Karst Cave (BKC) from at least ca. 160, and again around 100 and 60 thousand years ago (ka), followed by modern human occupation at Nwya Devu (ND) around 30–40 ka. However, with the exception of these two geographically distinct sites, there are very few Paleolithic sites with secure stratigraphy and reliable dates on the Tibetan Plateau. Thus, the spatial and temporal history of Paleolithic hominin occupation of the Tibetan Plateau remains poorly understood. Here we report a newly discovered well-stratified and well-dated Paleolithic site, Jiangjunfu 01 (JJF01), from the northeastern margin of the plateau. Optical dating of sediments from cultural layers shows that the site was occupied by hominin who employed simple core-and-flake technology, during warmer interglacial environments ∼90–120 ka. To date, JJF01 is one of the three oldest archaeological sites with secure stratigraphy and reliable dating from the Tibetan Plateau, further confirming that hominins, potentially Denisovans, occupied and inhabited the highest region of our planet at least by the early Upper Pleistocene.

Its eruptiva were deposited over an area of more than 2000 km², covering large parts of the landscape. The recent discovery of a Final Palaeolithic site near Bad Breisig shows that the human re-occupation of the Central Rhineland of Germany by a late Federmessergruppen band took place much earlier than previously thought. The presence of backed points of Malaurie-type as well as remains of red and roe deer dates the occupation into the last 200 years of the Allerød interstadial, which is also indicated by radiocarbon dating.
