Abstract:
The Middle Palaeolithic culture has been widely distributed in the Ghataprabha basin, obtained from 113 sites. The majority of the sites are concentrated in the middle and lower reaches of the river Ghataprabha and the assemblage is comprised of scrapers of various types, points, borers and scraper cum borer and borer cum points. The studies conducted at the site Kovalli which lies in the lower reaches of Ghataprabha suggest that the Kovalli assemblage can be categorized as mixture of Middle Palaeolithic and late Middle Palaeolithic. It can be categorized as “advanced” Middle Palaeolithic.Keywords: Assemblage; Middle palaeolithic, Naturally backed knife; Palaeolithic

Abstract:
The causes of morphological variation within Lower Palaeolithic stone tool assemblages have been subject to debate for decades. As a result of numerous explanatory hypotheses, it forms one of the most substantial areas of research within Palaeolithic archaeology. To date, however, very little research has ever been undertaken into the functional causes and consequences of Lower Palaeolithic stone tool form variation. Indeed, despite stone tools being functional objects tasked with the cutting and modification of aspects of the physical environment, previous researchers have preferentially sought to explain their morphology as a result of social, aesthetic, cultural, cognitive, reductive, and raw material influences. Here, this imbalance is addressed and the two principal technological components of the Lower Palaeolithic, ‘basic’ flakes and handaxes, are subject to a number of controlled, statistically robust, and archaeologically inferable experiments investigating relationships between variable tool-forms and functional performance characteristics. Results and subsequent discussion identify a number of important evolutionary, behavioural, and technological implications for Lower Palaeolithic hominins.

Abstract:
This thesis aims to explore whether idiosyncrasies in Acheulean handaxe manufacture can be seen and, if so, whether these can be used to trace the actions of hominins within the Lower Palaeolithic. This analysis has important implications for the application of current social theory to Palaeolithic contexts, which advocates a 'bottom-up' approach to archaeological study. This socially orientated theoretical approach emphasises the individual as the primary unit of analysis. However, as Hopkinson and White (2005) state, there is currently no methodology for such an analysis, rendering many discussions as exercises in what has been termed 'theoretical storytelling'. Using a series of innovative experiments, the question of whether the individual is a viable unit of analysis was tested. The results show that a suite of other factors that also contribute to stone tool manufacture currently masks the actions of individuals. Chief amongst these is variability in the raw material nodules selected for reduction. However, intra-site variability may indicate differences that are linked to socially mediated knapping strategies, or 'group templates' (c.f. Ashton & McNabb 1994). While this possibility requires further exploration, the thesis suggests that the individual is currently not viable as a primary unit of analysis within Palaeolithic archaeology and stresses that the theories posited from the standpoint of the individual cannot be interpreted as fact. At the same time, it appears that further work needs to be conducted that focuses on the more traditional group as the primary analytical unit and the prospect of teasing apart the interplay between the individuals, groups and the effects of raw material variability.

Full text
Abstract:
The big question raised in this thesis is one of choice: To what extent did the makers of microlithic tool kits during the Lower Palaeolithic merely respond to environmental pressures and to what extent did they choose to shape their environment, by means of their toolkits, according to their needs? Assuming a certain degree of choice, a selection of Lower Palaeolithic microlithic assemblages was analysed to investigate possible patterns within the material with regards to raw material selection, tool shape and size. The emerging pattern will be viewed against the backdrop of ecological variables, i.e. climate, environment, potential resources and the archaeological evidence of actually exploited resources. The impact of smallness is then explored in areas such as subsistence and lifestyle, hafting, learning and focus of attention. A further aspect to be considered in this investigation concerns the recurrence of microlithic assemblages during the Middle Palaeolithic in the form of the Taubachian and the question of continuation of a technological tradition over a long period of time. I have analysed data collected from microlithic assemblages from Poland (Trzebnica 2d, Trzebnica 2g, Rusko 33, Rusko 42) and Germany (Mauer, Bilzingsleben, Ehringsdorf Lower Horizon, Taubach) with the help of the statistic software package PASW17. The results indicate that early human populations in central Europe had far greater opportunities to shape their subsistence strategies and choose their lifestyles than was previously assumed. Environmental pressures and restrictions are partly but not solely responsible for the chosen strategies. Raw material availability had an influence but was not always the determining factor in artefact size, shape and technological strategies. As for the question of recurrence versus continuation of small tool traditions into the Middle Palaeolithic: The results suggest that there was no continuation, which may be unsurprising given the long periods of time involved. Instead similar strategies were chosen in similar environmental and climatic conditions, but with morphologically and technologically varying toolkits.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis represents a site-specific, holistic analysis of faunal assemblage formation at four key Palaeolithic sites (Boxgrove, Swanscombe, Hoxne and Lynford). Principally this research tests the a priori assumption that lithic tools and modified large to medium-sized fauna recovered from Pleistocene deposits represent a cultural accumulation and direct evidence of past hominin meat-procurement behaviour. Frequently, the association of lithics and modified fauna at a site has been used to support either active large-mammal hunting by hominins or a scavenging strategy. Hominin bone surface modification (cut marks, deliberate fracturing) highlight an input at the site but cannot be used in isolation from all other taphonomic modifiers as evidence for cultural accumulation. To understand the role of hominins in faunal assemblage accumulation all other taphonomic factors at a site must first be considered. A site-specific framework was established by using data on the depositional environment and palaeoecology. This provided a context for the primary zooarchaeological data (faunal material: all elements and bone surface modification) and helped explain the impact and importance of faunal accumulators and modifiers identified during analysis. This data was synthesized with information on predator and prey behavioural ecology to assess potential conflict and competition within the site palaeoenvironment. Results indicate that association of lithics and modified fauna are not sufficient evidence of a cultural accumulation; two sites (Swanscombe, Hoxne) demonstrate evidence of fluvial accumulation and disturbance. Whereas at Boxgrove, hominins had primary access to all fauna, fully exploiting carcasses. At Lynford, the mammoth remains were not modified by hominins, whilst other species only indicated exploitation for marrow, which conflicts with existing interpretations. I argue that hunting and scavenging are a continuum of behaviour, not necessarily represented at each site.

Full text
Abstract:
The widespread appearance of Levallois technology approximately 300,000 years ago in Europe and Africa is associated with significant behavioural and cognitive changes. The origins of this technique, however, are still highly debated. Fully developed Levallois reduction sequences seem to have their roots in a lesser-understood technique referred to as either ‘proto’, or ‘reduced’ Levallois, and more recently as Simple Prepared Core (SPC) technology. This thesis examines the technological relationship between SPCs and the Levallois technique in eight British and two Belgian assemblages. Whilst exploring the significance of the presence of SPC technology in the Lower Palaeolithic archaeological record of northwest Europe, this research also assesses the implications for hominin behaviour and cognition. Results demonstrate identical reduction techniques at nine of the ten sites studied, allowing for the construction of a new overarching technological definition of SPC technology, which is now accepted to be present on a significantly wider scale both temporally and geographically. A clear conceptual link between SPC technology and the Levallois technique is apparent regarding the approach to the volume of the core and the targeted end product. However the lack of shaping of the preferential flaking surface prevents the SPC end products from being considered predetermined. As it is the predetermination of the final product that is linked with the cognitive complexity required to implement the Levallois technique, the hominins responsible for SPCs cannot be considered to demonstrate the same level of cognition as those with Levallois technology. The implications of these results suggest hominins using the SPC technique were conceptually on the path towards the Levallois technique but cannot be considered to demonstrate the same behavioural and cognitive capacity.

Abstract:
Пещера Аудиториум из комплекса памятников Бхимпетка в центральной Индии, находящегося в Списке всемирного наследия ЮНЕСКО, была первым в мире памятником наскального искусства, отнесенным к Нижнему палеолиту. В статье описывается археологический контекст этого открытия, в частности, особенности пре-ашельской (или Mode 1 для Индии) индустрии каменных орудий. Учитывая, что в настоящее время известно уже четыре памятника с ямочными углублениями, в том числе еще одно в Индии, которые обоснованно отнесены к Нижнему палеолиту, это предположение уже воспринимается не таким преждевременным, как когда оно было высказано впервые. Петроглифы Бхимбетки детально обсуждаются в статье, также как и трудная тема определения их древности. Принят консервативный подход, но он базируется на археологическом контексте в Дараки-Чаттан высказано предположение, что ямочные углубления пещеры Аудиториум тоже могут быть датированы на основе технокомплекса Mode 1 Auditorium Cave at the World Heritage-listed site complex of Bhimbetka in central India was the first site in the world whose rock art was attributed to the Lower Palaeolithic. The archaeological background to this discovery is described, particularly the nature of the pre-Acheulian or Mode 1 lithic industries of India. Bearing in mind that there are now four other cupules sites known, including one more in India, that are soundly attributed to the Lower Palaeolithic, this proposition is no longer as precipitate as it may have appeared when it was first made. The Bhimbetka petroglyphs are discussed in some detail, together with the difficult subject of determining their antiquity. A conservative approach is adopted, but based on the archaeological evidence at Daraki-Chattan, it is suggested that the Auditorium Cave cupules, too, date from a Mode 1 technocomplex.
