Genetic turnovers and northern survival during the last glacial maximum in European brown bears
(John Wiley & Sons, 2019-05-29)
The current phylogeographic pattern of European brown bears (Ursus arctos) has
commonly been explained by postglacial recolonization out of geographically distinct
refugia in southern Europe, a pattern well in accordance ...

Human behavioural adaptations to interglacial lakeshore environments. An introduction
(Propylaeum, University of Heidelberg, 2020-04-24)
During the course of human evolution, we have suc-
cessfully adapted to various environments. Chang-
ing climates and landscapes often required new
behavioural strategies for survival; human societies
indeed came into ...
A zooarchaeological and taphonomic perspective of hominin behaviour from Schöningen 13II-4 "Spear Horizon",
(Propylaeum, University of Heidelberg, 2020-04-24)
The Schöningen 13II-4 “Spear Horizon” is among the most famous lakeshore archaeological sites dating from the Middle Pleistocene in Europe. Multiple well-crafted wooden spears recovered together with a large assemblage of ...
Isothermal oxidation kinetics of nitrided Ti-6Al-4V studied by infrared emissivity
(Elsevier, 2020-08-15)
The oxidation kinetics of Ti-6Al-4V samples nitrided in forming gas (N2+5%H2) between 520 and 805 °C is investigated using infrared emissivity measurements. Several kinetic exponents have been observed depending on temperature ...
Middle Pleistocene protein sequences from the rhinoceros genus Stephanorhinus and the phylogeny of extant and extinct Middle/Late Pleistocene Rhinocerotidae
(PeerJ Inc., 2017-03-14)
Ancient protein sequences are increasingly used to elucidate the
phylogenetic relationships between extinct and extant mammalian taxa. Here, we
apply these recent developments to Middle Pleistocene bone specimens of ...

(Propylaeum, 2018)
The Schöningen 13II-4 “Spear Horizon” provides an unparalleled view of Middle Pleistocene hominin tech-
nological and subsistence behaviours. The site preserves the remains of more than fifty butchered horses in
addition ...
The Contribution of Open-Air Sites to the Environmental Reconstruction of the Gravettian at the "Basque Crossroads" (North Iberia)"
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
The reconstruction of the Cantabrian Gravettian and its palaeoenvironmental sequence is based on cave
stratigraphies, which generally indicate a very rigorous climate (intense cold, occasionally dry and other
times ...
Shell midden people in northern Iberia. New data from the mesolithic rock shelter of J3 (Basque Country, Spain)
(Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca, 2010)
[EN]In the course of a sondage dug in the rock shelter of J3, in the Jaizkibel mountains (at the north-western tip of Guipúzcoa), the body of a adult man was located buried inside a shell midden. This shell midden had not ...
The southwesternmost record of Sicista (Mammalia; Dipodidae) in Eurasia, with a review of the palaeogeography and palaeoecology of the genus in Europe
(Elsevier, 2012-07-27)
We describe the southwesternmost specimen of Sicista betulina (Mammalia; Dipodidae) and of the genus Sicista found to date in Eurasia, which comes from the early Late Pleistocene (MIS 5) site of Lezetxiki II (Arrasate, ...
