The Origin of The Acheulean: The 1.7 Million-Year-Old Site of FLK West, Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania)
Fernando Diez-Martín,P. Sanchez Yustos,David Uribelarrea,Enrique Baquedano,Darren F. Mark,Audax Mabulla,Cristina Fraile,Javier Duque,Inmaculada Aznar Díaz,Alfredo Pérez-González,José Yravedra,Charles P. Egeland,Elia Organista,Manuel Domínguez-Rodrigo +13 more
TL;DR: A detailed technological study is provided and evidence of the use of these tools on the butchery and consumption of fauna, probably by early Homo erectus sensu lato is provided, showing that complex cognition was present from the earliest stages of the Acheulean.
Journal ArticleDOI
A study of dimensional differences of tooth marks (pits and scores) on bones modified by small and large carnivores
TL;DR: The study empirically shows that small and large carnivores can be clearly differentiated when using Tooth pit size, with a higher discrimination when using tooth marks on dense shafts than on cancellous ends.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bunn,David Uribelarrea,Victoria C. Smith,Fernando Diez-Martín,Alfredo Pérez-González,Policarpo Sánchez,Manuel Santonja,Doris Barboni,Agness Gidna,Gail M. Ashley,José Yravedra,Jason L. Heaton,Jason L. Heaton,María del Carmen Arriaza +21 more
TL;DR: The morphology and size of its constituent parts suggest that the fossils derived from an extremely robust individual who, at 1.338±0.024 Ma (1 sigma), represents one of the most recent occurrences of Paranthropus before its extinction in East Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
On meat eating and human evolution: A taphonomic analysis of BK4b (Upper Bed II, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania), and its bearing on hominin megafaunal consumption
Manuel Domínguez-Rodrigo,Henry T. Bunn,Audax Mabulla,Enrique Baquedano,David Uribelarrea,Alfredo Pérez-González,Agness Gidna,José Yravedra,Fernando Diez-Martín,Charles P. Egeland,Rebeca Barba,María del Carmen Arriaza,Elia Organista,M. Ansón +13 more
TL;DR: Evidence supports that meat consumption was tightly linked to the physiology that shaped the evolution of the authors' genus Homo erectus, and unveils the need of new behavioral models to explain the functionality of Acheulian central-place sites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cut marks on the Middle Pleistocene elephant carcass of Áridos 2 (Madrid, Spain)
José Yravedra,Manuel Domínguez-Rodrigo,Manuel Santonja,Alfredo Pérez-González,Joaquín Panera,Susana Rubio-Jara,Enrique Baquedano +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the taphonomic study of the elephant remains of Aridos 2 is presented, which provides more evidence of large carcass exploitation by hominins during this period.
