Abstract:
Archaeological data from Wallacea (Indonesia) and elsewhere are summarized to show that the history of seafaring begins in the Early Pleistocene, and that this human capability eventually led to Middle Palaeolithic ocean crossings in the general region of Australia. To understand better the technological magnitude of these many maritime accomplishments, a series of replicative experiments are described, and the theoretical conditions of these experiments are examined. The proposition is advanced that hominid cognitive and cultural evolution during the Middle and early Late Pleistocene have been severely misjudged. The navigational feats of Pleistocene seafarers confirm the cultural evidence of sophistication available from the study of palaeoart.With comments from Mike Morwood, Michael Rowland, Matthew Spriggs, Iain Davidson, Ursula Mania, and G.A. Clark and followed by a reply from the author.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references
The morphologically diverse and geographically expansive Pleistocene Homo fossil record continues to be a topic of debate. Recent fossil discoveries have highlighted the diversity, as well as the difficulty of identifying evolutionary relationships, within our lineage. Previous studies have focused on making distinctions between inter-and intra-specific variation, with relatively poor understanding of population structure or the evolutionary forces which have shaped the complex phenotypic diversity within our genus. The focus of this thesis is to expand our current understanding of the cranial and mandibular variation within Pleistocene Homo by assessing patterns of variation within our lineage, exploring the morphological link between newly discovered Homo (and Homo-like) fossil species and existing Homo taxa, investigating the evolutionary processes acting during the emergence and diversification of our genus, and considering the possible ancestor-descendant relationships at the transition from australopith to Homo. Analyses are performed on three-dimensional scan data (landmarks and interlandmark distances) collected from specimens of Pleistocene Homo. To provide context, robust and gracile australopiths are incorporated due to their temporal and/or spatial correspondence. The core of this thesis consists of four manuscripts. A suite of quantitative methods are utilized in these manuscripts to evaluate the morphological diversity within this hypodigm. These include statistical tests developed from quantitative evolutionary theory, Mahalanobis' distances, Generalised Procrustes Analysis, and Euclidean Distance Matrix Analysis. The results of these analyses emphasise the importance of neutral evolutionary forces in shaping morphological diversity during the evolution of Homo. However, they also indicate that adaptive evolution /selection contributed to the differences in masticatory morphology within our genus, played a significant role in the dispersal of Homo out of Africa, and may have been an important driver of diversification during the transition from Australopithecus to Homo, as well as between Homo rudolfensis and other Homo groups. Importantly, they show that specimen affiliations, the effect of selection, as well as patterns of variability vary depending on the skeletal region analysed and extant model choice. Finally, they highlight the large amount of morphological variability during the emergence and evolution of our genus, supporting the coexistence of a diversity of forms, and the presence of multiple lineages. Taken together, these results reveal a complex evolutionary scenario shaping the diversity within Pleistocene Homo and their possible ancestors, challenging previous notions of a linear evolutionary trajectory. This conclusion emphasises the need for future research on hominin diversity to incorporate evolutionary process into models of evolutionary change.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis focuses on Klipfonteinrand Rock Shelter in the eastern Cederberg, during the Late Pleistocene period (22.3 - 13.4 cal kyr BP), and specifically the materials analysed after the completion of excavations at the site. The study aims, firstly, to unpack changes in the composition of the archaeological assemblage of Klipfonteinrand during Marine Isotope Stage 2 (MIS 2), by analysing variation in the abundance and composition of lithics, ostrich eggshell, marine shell, charcoal, ochre, bone and roof spall from the site; and, secondly, to situate these changes in the context of changes in palaeoenvironments and patterns in the use of nearby and more distant archaeological sites. Results display a hornfels-dominant lithic assemblage, with a distinctive silcrete-rich Robberg-like industry during the period 22.3 - 16.3 cal kyr BP, categorised by micro-bladelets and bipolar cores. Ostrich eggshell fragments undergo variation in thickness in relation to variation in environmental and climatic changes, and also contain a handful of decorated fragments that mirror a sample from Boomplaas during a similar time period. Donax serra dominates the marine shell assemblage, which peaks in number between 16.6 and 15.9 cal kyr BP, at the time of rapid sea level rise across the subcontinent. Links are drawn between Klipfonteinrand and sites further afield such as Elands Bay Cave, based on the movement of hornfels from the interior to the coast and marine shell from the coast to the interior at the time of sea level rise. Roof spall is smallest and most abundant during colder periods, and charcoal and bone are most abundant then too. Red ochre is the most frequently occurring colour, with ochre having been ground most frequently in the younger levels between 14.4 - 13.4 cal kyr BP. These results are drawn together and Klipfonteinrand Rock Shelter is contextualised in a larger framework of MIS 2 archaeology and palaeoenvironments, on a local, regional and inter-regional scale. The various materials recovered from the excavation show specific diachronic patterns and suggestions are made about lithic technologies, craft and design, and complex landscape use of Late Pleistocene hunter-gatherers. The overarching purpose of this is to attempt to gain a better understanding of human behaviour during the environmentally unstable time period presented.

Full text
Abstract:
The archaeological record of the first Americans in Mexico is poorly known and somewhat confusing. However, the state of Sonora presents a remarkably pristine setting for studying the late Pleistocene occupation of North America. The early archaeological record in Sonora is stunning in terms of its relative abundance and only within the past ten years has this fact become evident. The Paleo-Indian sites are concentrated in north-central Sonora on and surrounding, the Llanos de Hermosillo. The settlement pattern appears to indicate that Clovis groups were generalized hunter and gatherers that exploited a wide range of environments, and their diet was based upon a wide variety of foodstuffs. The Clovis groups of Sonora developed a sophisticated settlement pattern and land use determined by the location of lithic sources for tool making, water sources, large prey animals and a mosaic of edible plants and small animals. Exploiting an extensive territory probably permitted them to remain in the same region for longer periods of time. The presence of only few late Paleo-Indian diagnostic points could represent the decrease of population density in Sonora, but most likely it is an indication that after Clovis a regionalization of the hunter and gather groups took place in Sonora. The Sonoran Clovis occupation is a testimony that multiple regional Clovis adaptations emerged each with specific responses of plants, animals and resources.

Abstract:
Research into the British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic has traditionally focused upon artefact typology and the in situ stone and bone scatters from primary context sites. The majority of the evidence has been rejected as difficult data from which little or nothing can be said. In this thesis it is proposed that the data can support a wide range of archaeological investigations, and that their apparent weaknesses reflect the asking of unsuitable questions. This thesis presents a three-stage methodology for the interpretation of all the British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic data from the Hampshire Basin, southern Eng¬ land. The formation of the archaeological record is addressed with respect to the mod¬ ern excavation of Palaeolithic deposits, the chronology of the geological contexts, and the transportation and redeposition of lithic material into secondary contexts. The re¬ sults of the research methodology are interpreted for the management and protection of Britain's Palaeolithic heritage through spatial analytical techniques and GIS-based predictive modelling. Applications of the data to models of middle Pleistocene hominid behaviour are investigated, with particular emphasis upon long-term survival strategies and a highlow latitude comparison of demographic trends and population characteristics. Spatiotemporal patterns in regional lithic signatures indicate sporadic occupation of the region, characterised by discontinuous, low density populations. This model was supported by the demographic data generated from the regional evidence and existing on-site data. Other suitable applications of the data explored within the thesis are highlighted, including models of biface form and raw material transportation. The thesis demonstrates the potential of all the available data to investigations of the British Lower and Middle Palaeolithic. The secondary context data can offer a valu¬ able spatio-temporal perspective upon hominid behaviour during the middle Pleistocene which cannot be gained from the investigation of on-site data.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis presents the results of an investigation into the Clactonian assemblages of Middle Pleistocene souther Britain. By exploring other non-biface assemblages (NBAs) reported from elsewhere in Europe it seeks to illuminate our understanding of the British assemblages by viewing them in a wider context. It sets out how the historical and geopolitical context of Palaeolithic research has influenced what is investigated and how, as well as interpretations of assemblages without handaxes. A comparative study of the assemblages themselves based upon primary data gathered specifically for that purpose concludes that while there are a number of non-biface assemblages elsewhere in Europe the Clactonian assemblages do appear to be a phenomenon unique to the Thames Valley in early MIS 11. However, traditional explanations for this phenomenon, such as cultural variation, cultural migration and pioneer populations are challenged and a new interpretation centred on the concept of a default flaking pattern is proposed.

Abstract:
The North Chinese Paleolithic sequence is perplexing in its relative technological simplicity, strikingly different from the known sequences in Mongolia, Siberia and ultimately western Eurasia. The division between North China and western Eurasia, traditionally labeled the Movius Line after the pioneering work of Hallam Movius (1944), has withstood years of scrutiny. The explanation for this phenomenon, however, remains elusive. This dissertation addresses several hypotheses about late Pleistocene lithic technological variability in Northeast Asia on either side of the Movius Line. Of central importance is finding proper placement for Shuidonggou, the only know late Pleistocene locality in North China that contains a well-developed blade industry. Lithic assemblages from two cave sites in the Mongolian Gobi, Tsagaan Agui and Chikhen Agui, and the 1980 excavated collections from Shuidonggou are compared. Comparisons also feature the well-know late Pleistocene materials from Kara Bom, located in southern Siberia. These analyses illustrate that Shuidonggou is linked to the elaboration of initial Upper Paleolithic (IUP) technologies in greater Northeast Asia after 43 ka. A series of theoretical and empirical questions surrounding the Northeast Asian IUP are addressed. I ask whether biogeographic processes, behavioral-ecological processes, or differential use of stone raw materials underlie observed technological disjunctions in Northeast Asia. Three primary conclusions emerge. First, biogeographic processes are implicated in the patterning of lithic technological variability in Northeast Asia. Population growth coupled with periodic opening and closing of dispersal corridors may explain the spread of IUP technologies. Second, mathematical models indicate that the uniform character of IUP core technologies is related to economic advantages inherent in Levallois core geometries. The implication is that the IUP reflects the spread of specific economic adaptations, and not necessarily a particular hominid species. Finally, the failure of prepared core technologies to take hold in East Asian environments cannot be explained by differential use of stone raw materials. Core technologies from one of the study sites illustrate that raw material quality is not an absolute constraint on technological design. Rather, the failure of IUP technologies is linked to population contraction brought on by the extreme conditions of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

Abstract:
The CRC project is entitled "Culture-Environment Interaction and Human Mobility in the Late Quaternary." It uses ethnographic and ethnological data, as well as agent-based modeling, to devise a model, a First African Frontier model, that accounts for how modern humans migrated out of Africa into Europe and, in fact, to the rest of the world. I take a slightly different approach to the conference's issue of scale, asking what the scale of archaeological data is, how it differs from that of ethnography, and, given the difference, what archaeology can contribute. In sum, archaeological data are aggregated data, especially for the time period in question where assemblages result from possibly thousands of years, and thousands of human actions. I argue that at this scale the "strong signal" is primarily telling us about human response to ecological and demographic conditions, and that human behavioral ecology provides a useful learning strategy to know when these material factors are not relevant. I then use terminal Pleistocene New World colonization as an example of a colonization process, including evidence for the scale of social relations at this time.

Abstract:
Современная четырехчленная модель палеолита Костенок включает 12 археологических культур в хронологических рамках 2040 тыс. лет (cal:25 44 тыс.). Все они, как и везде, выделены по кремневому инвентарю. Костяной инвентарь и жилища, в целом, находят им прямое соответствие и подтверждают правомерность их выделения. Соотношение произведений искусства и украшений с археологическими культурами свидетельствует о более сложном характере связей за счет большого количества кросс-культурных аналогий, в том числе далеко выходящих за пределы Костенковской группы (Sinitsyn, 2012 2015). Культуры граветтского круга, как правило, имеют более жесткое соответствие общекультурных и эстетических традиций при практически полном совпадении их ареалов. Ориньякские памятники, наоборот, при более унифицированных и стабильных характеристиках кремневого инвентаря, дают большое разнообразие украшений и орнаментов. Проблема соотношения технико-типологических традиций кремневого и костяного инвентаря, традиций домостроительства, погребальной обрядности и эстетических норм в археологии палеолита в настоящее время решается на уроне конкретных культурных образований. Можно констатировать наличие двух основных типов структурирования компонентов культуры: (1) с жесткими нормами функционирования и (2) с относительно свободными стереотипами, допускающими широкую вариабельность всех (или некоторых) компонентов общекультурной системы ценностей.
