Le Pléistocène moyen voit l’émergence de nouvelles espèces et populations d’hominines : Homo sapiens en Afrique et les néandertaliens et les dénisoviens en Eurasie, dont l’ancêtre commun le plus récent aurait vécu en Afrique il y a environ 600 ka. Les hominines de cette période présentent une importante variabilité morphologique qui rend difficile...
Located at the crossroads between Africa, Europe and Asia, the Southern Caucasus is a prime location to study occupations by H. heidelbergensis, H. neanderthalensis and anatomically modern humans. Azokh Cave is an important site for the understanding of human evolution in its archaeological, palaeontological, environmental and ecological context. T...
Some areas in Western Europe indicate hiatuses in human occupations, which cannot be systematically attributed to taphonomic factors and poor site preservation. The site of la Noira in the center of France records two occupation phases with a significant time gap. The older one is dated to around 700 ka (stratum a) with an Acheulean assemblage, amo...
In the original publication of this article, one of the author names was incorrectly captured. The first name should be Razika, then family name should be Chelli-Cheheb.
Although Neandertals are the best-known fossil hominins, the tempo and evolutionary processes in their lineage are strongly debated. This is in part due to the scarcity of the fossil record, in particular before the marine isotopic stage (MIS) 5. In 2010, a partial hominin mandible was discovered at the Middle Paleolithic site of Payre (France) in...
Objectives
We provide the description and comparative analysis of six new teeth from the site of La Ferrassie. Our goal is to discuss their taxonomic attribution, and to provide an updated inventory of Neandertal and modern human remains from La Ferrassie in their associated archeological context.
Materials and methods
We use external and internal...
Recent functional and zooarchaeological studies conducted on the archeological finds of Pirro Nord (PN13) produced new, reliable data on early European hominid subsistence activities. The age of the site is estimated to be ~ 1.3–1.6 Ma, based on bio-chronological data, and the archeological excavation of the Pirro Nord 13 fissure led to the discove...
In this work, we explored the isotopic composition of faunal (rodents, rhinoceros and bison) and human skeletal remains from the Middle Pleistocene layers of Isernia la Pineta (Molise, Italy). We particularly focused on high spatial resolution isotope analyses of tooth enamel by laser ablation MC-ICP-MS for strontium isotopes and by micro-drilling...
As part of the geological and chronological recontextualization of the Rabat-Kébibat quarry performed by a Franco-Moroccan team of geologists, the human remains discovered in the site and already published were reassessed. The human remains assemblage is composed of 23 cranial fragments, a mandible (including on the right I1, P3, P4, the roots of M...
Understanding how mobility or sedentary has influenced human evolution is a major challenge in human past ecology. Mobility patterns of human groups have profound implications on their exploitation of the landscape resources, proving whether the human adaptation strategies are more or less successful in relation to climatic changes. In this sense,...
We present the Sr isotopic composition of enamel of the most ancient deciduous tooth ever discovered in Italy to assess human mobility in Middle Pleistocene. Reconstructing ancient mobility is crucial for understanding human strategy at exploiting temporally and spatially patchy resources, with most studies focusing on indirect evidences, ultimatel...
Objective:
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence, distribution and intensity of tooth wear in a sample of an ancient Italian population in order to explain the pattern in terms of dietary habits and/or non-dietary tooth-use behaviors during the Early Bronze Age, with a focus on possible age-group and sex differences.
Design:

Objectives:
The aim of the study is the assessment of Nadale 1, a Neanderthal deciduous tooth recently discovered in Northeastern Italy in the De Nadale cave (Middle Palaeolithic). Together with the clear archaeological context of the site, this study brings new insight on Neanderthal behavior and dental morphological variability.
Materials and m...
Despite new discoveries of human fossil remains, some aspects of paleoanthropological research are biased by the poor sample size, which limits our understanding of intra-species variability among the different hominin species. In this context, continuous assessment and reassessment of human fossil remains discovered decades ago, and often unknown...
In the last decades, debates on the origin, timing and spread of the Levallois method and its relation with the end of the Acheulean and transition to the Middle Palaeolithic have intensified, gaining increased importance on the issue of reading into archaeological evidence throughout Europe. There is another significant issue in current debates ab...
Il progetto “Baragge biellesi”, avviato nel 2015, ha l’intento di sviluppare un modello di ricerca integrata (survey, rilevamento geo-morfologico tramite elaborazione di immagini satellitari e di immagini acquisite da droni a controllo remoto) per la caratterizzazione delle aree con potenziale presenza di contesti archeologici preistorici nelle Bar...

Isernia La Pineta (south-central Italy, Molise) is one of the most important archaeological localities of the Middle Pleistocene in Western Europe. It is an extensive open-air site with abundant lithic industry and faunal remains distributed across four stratified archaeosurfaces that have been found in two sectors of the excavation (3c, 3a, 3s10 i...
Les recherches en paléoanthropologie sont souvent biaisées par la taille des échantillons qui limite notre compréhension de la variabilité des espèces humaines. La découverte de nouveaux restes fossiles a une place importante dans la perception de la variabilité des taxons mais l’examen ou le réexamen de restes fossiles humains découverts il y a de...
Within the Italian human fossil record, the mandibular remains Guattari 2 and Guattari 3 are representatives of Neanderthal populations living in the Italian peninsula from the beginning of the MIS 3. These were recovered from the Mount Circeo and date between ca. 57 and 51 B.P. The integrity and the contemporaneity of these two human remains make...
L’Homme de Neandertal et ses comportements ont fait l’objet de nombreuses etudes qui ont mis en evidence une serie de caracteres anatomiques propres (caracteres derives ou autapomorphies) et permis l’attribution de nombreux restes humains a cette espece. Une quarantaine de sites ont livre en Italie des restes humains ou des elements permettant d’in...

The study of the biological aspect of ancient populations is in a constant modernization and implementation, through the improvement, application or adaptation of methodologies and most of all by the discovery of new fossils. It is no coincidence that, in recent decades, technological advances in biological anthropology have allowed us to clear some aspect of human evolution and migration.
In this context, the UISPP commission “Biological Anthropology” proposes a session which embrace all the anthropological field of study to maximize the participation of anthropologists from different horizons in order to stimulate debates and arouse curiosity. In this broad range of topics, a special focus will be given to anthropological studies of North-African prehistoric populations.
In this sense, we highly encourage graduate students and junior researchers to present their current research in order to update the community of anthropologists about what is going on in the anthropological sciences.
Authors can send poster or oral proposal on a broad range of chronological, geographic, theoretical or methodological topics. The session might be subdivided in sub-sessions in function of the different topics proposed by the authors.
Through time, space and species: implication of new discoveries, technological developments and data diffusion improvement in Biological Anthropology
As also part of the principal goal of the Biological Anthropology commission, the present session aims to divulgate new discoveries, discuss new theories and share innovative methodologies correlated to the study of human extinct and extant populations in biological and evolutionary perspectives. The session proposes to embrace a large spectrum of specialities correlated to the biological anthropology field of research, in terms of chronology, geography and phylogeny.
The study of the biological aspect of ancient populations is in a constant modernization and implementation, through the improvement, application or adaptation of methodologies / instrumentations / techniques and most of all by the discovery of new fossils. It is no coincidence that, in recent decades, technological advances in biological anthropology have allowed us to clear (a little more) some aspect of human evolution and migration.
The purpose of mixing different anthropological fields of research is to stimulate debates and inputs about different approaches and methodologies.
In this context, we highly encourage graduate students and junior researchers to present their current research in order to update the community of anthropologists about what is going on in the anthropological sciences.
Additionally, the interdisciplinary and transcontinental aspects, at the base of the session, will encourage discussion between researchers from different institutions/specialities/continents.
Potential authors can send poster or oral proposal on a broad range of chronological, geographic, theoretical or methodological topics. The session might be subdivided in sub-sessions in function of the different themes proposed by the authors.
Since 2002, research in collaboration with the University of the Philippines, running the El Nido-based Ille Cave excavations, Dewil Valley landscape studies, and specialist research in south Palawan.
