Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for habitual use of fire at the end of the Lower Paleolithic: site-formation processes at Qesem Cave, Israel.
Panagiotis Karkanas,Ruth Shahack-Gross,Avner Ayalon,M. Bar-Matthews,Ran Barkai,Amos Frumkin,Avi Gopher,Mary C. Stiner +7 more
TL;DR: Micromorphological and isotopic evidence indicates recrystallization of the wood ash and use-wear damage on blades and blade tools in conjunction with numerous cut marks on bones indicate an emphasis on butchering and prey-defleshing activities in the vicinity of fireplaces.
Book ChapterDOI
Middle to Late Holocene (6,500 Yr. Period) Paleoclimate in the Eastern Mediterranean Region from Stable Isotopic Composition of Speleothems from Soreq Cave, Israel
TL;DR: Bar-Matthews et al. as mentioned in this paper found that the conditions that prevailed in the Eastern Mediterranean area before ~ 6,500 BP were very different from those of the present day.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vegetation and climate changes in the South Eastern Mediterranean during the Last Glacial-Interglacial cycle (86 ka): new marine pollen record
TL;DR: In this article, a palynological record from deep-sea core 9509, taken by R/V Marion Dufresne, off the southern Israeli coast, is used to track changes in regional vegetation as function of climate changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
The chronology of the late Lower Paleolithic in the Levant based on U–Th ages of speleothems from Qesem Cave, Israel
Avi Gopher,Avner Ayalon,M. Bar-Matthews,Ran Barkai,Amos Frumkin,Panagiotis Karkanas,Ruth Shahack-Gross,Ruth Shahack-Gross +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the results of a U-Th dating project at Qesem Cave, a Middle Pleistocene, late Lower Paleolithic site in Israel, were presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Response of the Nile and its catchment to millennial-scale climatic change since the LGM from Sr isotopes and major elements of East Mediterranean sediments
M. R. Box,M. R. Box,Michael D. Krom,Robert A. Cliff,M. Bar-Matthews,Ahuva Almogi-Labin,Avner Ayalon,Martine Paterne +7 more
TL;DR: The sedimentary record of these cores represents the suspended load carried down the Nile river and discharged into the S.E. Levantine basin and thus records palaeoclimatically controlled changes in erosion and transport in the catchment as mentioned in this paper.
