Searching for Lazy People: the Significance of Expedient Behavior in the Interpretation of Paleolithic Assemblages
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to characterize expedient technologies as low-cost strategies that can be identified in all the stages of the lithic production sequence, from raw material provisioning to tool manufacture.

The emergence of the Middle Palaeolithic in north-western Europe and its southern fringes
David Hérisson,Michel Brenet,Dominique Cliquet,Marie-Hélène Moncel,Jürgen Richter,Beccy Scott,Ann Van Baelen,Kévin Di Modica,Dimitri De Loecker,Nick Ashton,Laurence Bourguignon,Anne Delagnes,Anne Delagnes,Jean-Philippe Faivre,Milagros Folgado-Lopez,Jean‑luc Locht,Matt Pope,Jean-Paul Raynal,Wil Roebroeks,Carmen Santagata,Alain Turq,Philip Van Peer +21 more
TL;DR: Monnier et al. as mentioned in this paper focused on a time frame within which rapid behavioural and technological changes have been documented: the period between MIS 9 to 6, focusing on questions of taphonomy, conservation, chronology and environment, as well as reviewing the pattern of technological change within lithic assemblages.

First evidence of an extensive Acheulean large cutting tool accumulation in Europe from Porto Maior (Galicia, Spain)
Eduardo Méndez-Quintas,Manuel Santonja,Alfredo Pérez-González,Mathieu Duval,Martina Demuro,Lee J. Arnold +5 more
TL;DR: The identification of a site with large accumulations of LCTs favours the hypothesis of an African origin for the Acheulean of Southwest Europe, which could be consistent with the potential coexistence of different human species in south-western Europe during the Middle Pleistocene.

Chronology of fluvial terrace sequences for large Atlantic rivers in the Iberian Peninsula (Upper Tagus and Duero drainage basins, Central Spain)
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the chronology of fluvial terrace sequences of the two most important basins from central Spain draining to the Atlantic Ocean (Upper Tagus and Duero drainage basins).

Large flake Acheulean in the middle of Tagus basin (Spain): Middle stretch of the river Tagus valley and lower stretches of the rivers Jarama and Manzanares valleys
Susana Rubio-Jara,Joaquín Panera,Juan Rodríguez-de-Tembleque,Manuel Santonja,Alfredo Pérez-González +4 more
TL;DR: The earliest Acheulean evidence has been dated to between MIS 15 and MIS 13, and from MIS 11/MIS 9 on, this techno-complex is widespread in the region, until MIS 6, when the last evidence was recorded.

Identification de chaînes opératoires lithiques du Paléolithique ancien et moyen
TL;DR: In this article, a variabilite des systemes de production lithique du Paleolithique ancien et moyen demeure, tout au moins for l'Europe occidentale, encore largement fondee sur la succession lineaire, tres reductrice, des industries a galets amenages puis a bifaces and, enfin, a debitage d'eclats (cf. Mousterien).

The origin of Neandertals
TL;DR: The term “Homo rhodesiensis” is proposed to be used to designate the large-brained hominins ancestral to H. sapiens in Africa and at the root of the Neandertals in Europe, and the term ‘Homo neanderthalensis’ to designate all of the specimens carrying derived metrical or non-metrical features used in the definition of the LP NeandERTals.

Earliest humans in Europe: the age of TD6 Gran Dolina, Atapuerca, Spain.
Christophe Falguères,Jean-Jacques Bahain,Yuji Yokoyama,Juan Luis Arsuaga,José María Bermúdez de Castro,Eudald Carbonell,James L. Bischoff,Jean-Michel Dolo +7 more
TL;DR: New ESR and U-series results on teeth from four levels of the Gran Dolina deposit confirm the palaeomagnetic evidence, and indicate that TD6 (from which the human remains have been recovered) dates to the end of the Early Pleistocene, while results for the other levels are consistent with estimates based mainly on microfaunal evidence.

Early Pleistocene human occupation at the edge of the boreal zone in northwest Europe

TL;DR: It is shown that Early Pleistocene hominins were present in northern Europe >0.78 Myr ago when they were able to survive at the southern edge of the boreal zone, which has significant implications for the understanding of early human behaviour, adaptation and survival, as well as the tempo and mode of colonization after their first dispersal out of Africa.
