Limiting factors on early modern human dispersals: The human biogeography of late Pleniglacial Europe
TL;DR: The relationship between climate change and settlement history is explored by focusing on the role of herbivore diversity in relation to plant abundance and quality, proposed as an important factor in determining long-term settlement patterns in Late Pleniglacial Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Eastern Central Europe during the Pleniglacial
TL;DR: New dating of several key sites in eastern Central Europe refines our view of human presence there around the Last Glacial Maximum, showing that, with the advancing Ice Age, this part of Europe was abandoned later than the west, and a critical environmental factor was increasing aridity rather than the dropping temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neanderthal energetics and spatial behaviour
TL;DR: Using a simple central place foraging model, the authors showed that Neanderthal energetic requirements can explain the main characteristics of the Middle Palaeolithic archaeological record, from the lack of features at sites to the limits of the Neanderthal range.
