TL;DR: A fossil freshwater shell assemblage from the Hauptknochenschicht of Trinil (Java, Indonesia) is reported, indicating that the engraving was made by Homo erectus, and that it is considerably older than the oldest geometric engravings described so far.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This article used strontium isotope ratios (87Sr/86Sr) of lacustrine fish fossils from the Turkana Basin to study the influence of orbital climate cycles on hominin evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phytoplankton sinking rates in the Rhine region of freshwater influence
TL;DR: It is concluded that SetCol gives adequate results when incubations are performed at or near in situ irradiance and temperature; sinking rates are predominantly determined by cell or colony density rather than their size; periodic sedimentation is an important species-specific loss process for phytoplankton in the Dutch coastal zone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relevance of aquatic environments for hominins: a case study from Trinil (Java, Indonesia )
Journal ArticleDOI
The earliest occupation of north-west Europe: a coastal perspective
TL;DR: This paper explored the idea that early hominin occupation in northern Europe during the earlier period was an Atlantic phenomenon, i.e. restricted to the milder temperate climates in the coastal continental regions.
