Exploring the formation processes on open-air palaeolithic sites: A late Middle Pleistocene Acheulean assemblage at Arbo site (Miño River basin, Spain)
Eduardo Méndez-Quintas,Manuel Santonja,Alfredo Pérez-González,Mikel Díaz-Rodríguez,Andrea Serodio Domínguez +4 more
TL;DR: In this article , a multivariate approach to the Acheulean site (pre-dating Marine Isotopic Stage -MIS-5) at Arbo (Lower Miño basin, Spain) is presented, where two layers analyzed with archaeological remains (exclusively lithic artefacts) show matrix-supported gravel and cobble facies, which are compatible with extensive sedimentary disturbances.

Burning issues with the archaeology of fire
TL;DR: The 2019 Trial by Fire conference at UCL Institute of Archaeology addressed fire's visibility in the archaeological record, fire's interaction with artifacts, fire as a participant, and as an artifact in its own right.

Hominins likely occupied northern Europe before one million years ago
Alastair J.M. Key,Nick Ashton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article , optimal linear estimation models are run using data from the current fossil and artefact record, which suggest northern Europe to have first been occupied as early as 1.16 or 1.39 million years ago [Ma] or as late as 913

An evaluation of the infrared 630 cm−1 OH libration band in bone mineral as evidence of fire in the archaeological record
TL;DR: In this article , a set of experiments were designed to determine the impact of temperature, duration, and bone size on the appearance of the 630 cm−1 band: using samples of cortical bone from micro- and macrofauna, heating experiments were carried out to explore the appearance and change in the OH libration band.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trial by fire: Conclusions
TL;DR: A collection of present texts is not intended to be an exhaustive presentation of the ways in which fire can be used, but rather aims to highlight some unstudied characteristics of the relationship of fire with human beings and material culture as discussed by the authors.

Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human
TL;DR: In a groundbreaking theory of the authors' origins, primatologist Richard Wrangham shows that the shift from raw to cooked foods was the key factor in human evolution.

On the earliest evidence for habitual use of fire in Europe
Wil Roebroeks,Paola Villa +1 more
TL;DR: The review of the European evidence suggests that early hominins moved into northern latitudes without the habitual use of fire, and the increase in the number of sites with good evidence of fire throughout the Late Pleistocene shows that European Neandertals had fire management not unlike that documented for Upper Paleolithic groups.

Evidence of Hominin Control of Fire at Gesher Benot Ya`aqov, Israel
Naama Goren-Inbar,Nira Alperson,Mordechai E. Kislev,Orit Simchoni,Yoel Melamed,Adi Ben-Nun,Ella Werker +6 more
TL;DR: The presence of burned seeds, wood, and flint at the Acheulian site of Gesher Benot Ya`aqov in Israel is suggestive of the control of fire by humans nearly 790,000 years ago.

The Palaeolithic Societies of Europe
TL;DR: A Palaeolithic framework: locales, rhythms and regions is proposed in this article, where the individual, society and networks are considered in the context of the transition from the Middle to Upper palaeolithic in Europe.

Naama Goren-Inbar,Craig S. Feibel,Kenneth L. Verosub,Yoel Melamed,Mordechai E. Kislev,Eitan Tchernov,Idit Saragusti +6 more
TL;DR: The Acheulean site of Gesher Benot Ya'aqov in the Dead Sea Rift of Israel documents hominin movements and technological development on a corridor between Africa and Eurasia, considerably older than previous estimates.
