The extent and nature of symbolic behavior among Neandertals are obscure. Although
evidence for Neandertal body ornamentation has been proposed, all cave painting has …

Abstract The Commission on Isotopic Abundances and Atomic Weights (ciaaw. org) of the
International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (iupac. org) has revised the Table of …

We have developed techniques for measuring 234U and 230Th on Faraday cups with
precisions of 1–3 epsilon units (1 ε-unit= 1 part in 104) using multi-collector inductively …

Cueva de los Aviones (southeast Spain) is a site of the Neandertal-associated Middle
Paleolithic of Europe. It has yielded ochred and perforated marine shells, red and yellow …

Several stalagmite records have yielded important but discontinuous insights into northern
Iberian climate since the Last Glacial. Here we present the first continuous Iberian stalagmite …

INTRODUCTION A record of the regular exploitation of aquatic foods has been lacking in
Neandertal Europe. By contrast, marine resources feature prominently—alongside personal …

Paleolithic cave art is an exceptional archive of early human symbolic behavior, but because
obtaining reliable dates has been difficult, its chronology is still poorly understood after more …

To facilitate the measurement of U–Th isotopic compositions suitable for high-precision and
high-resolution 230Th dating of coral and speleothem carbonates, secondary electron …

Here we present a new algorithm (StalAge), which is designed to construct speleothem age
models. The algorithm uses U-series ages and their corresponding age uncertainty for …

Stalagmites are an extraordinarily powerful resource for the reconstruction of climatological
palaeoseasonality. Here, we provide a review of different types of seasonality preserved by …
