Abstract Stratigraphic Unit 13 of Oscurusciuto Rockshelter (Ginosa, Taranto, Southern Italy)
is a short Mousterian palimpsest representing the first stable occupation of the site soon after …

Mobility strategies of Neanderthal groups are studied through the characterization and
analysis of archaeological sites and traditionally compared to the types of settlements …

This study represents the first integrated approach to the lithic raw materials exploited by the
Neanderthals that occupied the Abric Romaní site (NE Iberia). Focusing on chert as the most …

Ungulate mortality profiles are commonly used to study Neanderthal subsistence strategies.
To assess the hunting strategies used by Neanderthals, we studied the ages at death of the …

The refitting of both lithic and faunal remains is a basic field of research in Paleolithic
archeology. In particular, the spatial dimension of lithic and faunal refitting is essential for …

The intrasite mobility of lithic artifacts is one of the most relevant issues that can be
approached from the spatial study of refitting. In many sites, researchers have determined …

Fuel is a basic resource enabling energy production, and its exploitation was a major activity
in Neanderthal daily life. In this work we present charcoal results obtained from the Abric …

Bone refits can be a useful tool to understand the archaeological assemblages. From a
taphonomic point of view, they have been used to reinforce some aspects related to the …

We evaluated the skeletal profiles from several levels of the Neanderthal site of Abric
Romaní, focusing on the methodology proposed by Faith and Gordon (2007): differences in …

Practically all archeological assemblages are palimpsests. In spite of the high temporal
resolution of Abric Romaní site, level O, dated to around 55 ka, is not an exception. This …
