Neanderthal climate preferences and tolerances : the need for a better chronology : Middle palaeolithic sites in Russia and Ukraine : site summaries and fieldwork 2004 / C.I. Burbidge, P. Allsworth-Jones, R. A. Housey... [et al.]
Ouvrage
Publication: Glasgow : SUERC, University of Glasgow, 2005 Description: 1 vol. (VIII-470 p.) : ill., cartes ; 30 cmISBN: 0852618190 ; 9780852618196.Langue: Anglais Auteur principal: Burbidge, C. I. Co-auteur: Allsworth-Jones, Peter ; Housley, Rupert A. Résumé: NERC funded EFCHED project aims to investigate whether the present chronological data for the late Mousterian in Europe is biasing our perception of Neanderthal populations by making them appear more cold adapted than the incoming anatomically modern humans. We therefore aim to focus on the part of the Neanderthal world that experienced the most continental climatic environments – namely, European Russia and the Ukraine north and east of the Black Sea – for we surmise that it is in such a region that the environmental preferences will be most discernible. By applying a range of cross-validated non-14C chronological methodologies (OSL, TL, magnetic palaeointensity, and argon-argon) to horizons with late Middle Palaeolithic assemblages we aim to identify spatial and temporal patterning which, when correlated with local environmental proxies and wider climate data, should permit a better understanding of Neanderthal climatic tolerances.
