Statistical aspects of equivalent dose and error calculation and display in OSL dating: An overview and some recommendations
All Quaternary dating methods involve the measurement of one or more variables to
estimate the age of a sample. Each measured quantity has an associated error and …

Human occupation of northern Australia by 65,000 years ago
The time of arrival of people in Australia is an unresolved question. It is relevant to debates
about when modern humans first dispersed out of Africa and when their descendants …

Denisovan DNA in late pleistocene sediments from Baishiya Karst Cave on the Tibetan Plateau
A late Middle Pleistocene mandible from Baishiya Karst Cave (BKC) on the Tibetan Plateau

A Middle Pleistocene Denisovan molar from the Annamite chain of northern Laos
The Pleistocene presence of the genus Homo in continental Southeast Asia is primarily
evidenced by a sparse stone tool record and rare human remains. Here we report a Middle …

Last Interglacial Iberian Neandertals as fisher-hunter-gatherers
INTRODUCTION A record of the regular exploitation of aquatic foods has been lacking in
Neandertal Europe. By contrast, marine resources feature prominently—alongside personal …

An early and enduring advanced technology originating 71,000 years ago in South Africa
There is consensus that the modern human lineage appeared in Africa before 100,000
years ago 1, 2. But there is debate as to when cultural and cognitive characteristics typical of …

Ages for the Middle Stone Age of southern Africa: implications for human behavior and dispersal
The expansion of modern human populations in Africa 80,000 to 60,000 years ago and their
initial exodus out of Africa have been tentatively linked to two phases of technological and …

Single‐grain optical dating of Quaternary sediments: why aliquot size matters in luminescence dating
Optical dating measures the time that has elapsed since mineral grains were exposed to
daylight. The technique is ideal for sediments in which all the grains were exposed to …

Neandertals made the first specialized bone tools in Europe
Modern humans replaced Neandertals∼ 40,000 y ago. Close to the time of replacement,
Neandertals show behaviors similar to those of the modern humans arriving into Europe …
