“…ref. 35), because grease-rich limb ends were burned no more often than limb shaft fragments. The generally higher rate of burning for the major limb bones nonetheless suggests that processing and discard of these body parts occurred in close proximity to hearths.…”

Zooarchaeological research at Qesem Cave, Israel demonstrates that large-game hunting was a regular practice by the late Lower Paleolithic period. The 400-to 200,000-year-old fallow deer assemblages from this cave provide early examples of prime-age-focused ungulate hunting, a human predator-prey relationship that has persisted into recent times. The meat diet at Qesem centered on large game and was supplemented with tortoises. These hominins hunted cooperatively, and consumption of the highest quality parts of large prey was delayed until the food could be moved to the cave and processed with the aid of blade cutting tools and fire.

“…Also, it has been proved that since the Paleolithic, calcium was used as fuel together with wood being able to improve the duration of the combustion process. 32 Therefore, it might be also assumed that the presence of Ca could result from the incorporation of bones used as mass fuel within the pyro-metallurgical operations.…”

“…In addition, in areas where the bedrock floor was covered by Layer 8 sediments, localized stains of reddened (Munsell 2.5YR5/6) bedrock can also be seen. These rubefied areas were ascribed by Bordes to fire reddening; research in progress indicates, however, that they are rich in kaolinite and hematite (Devault 2007) and resulted from diagenesis; similar reddening demonstrably unrelated to burning has been documented from nearby Grotte XVI in Dordogne, and Theopetra Cave, Greece (Karkanas et al 1999;2002). …”

Pech de l'Azé IV (Dordogne, France) is a collapsed cave with an approximately three meter sequence of wellpreserved Mousterian assemblages. At the base of the sequence, resting on bedrock, is a ~50cm thick layer (Layer 8) of dark, primarily anthropogenic sediments that show unambiguous evidence of Neandertal use of fire dating to the time of OIS 5c. The faunal assemblage, which suggests a temperate, wooded environment, has evidence for the exploitation of some small game, and provides possible evidence for some non-subsistence related activities. The stone tool assemblage is characterized by the use of Levallois technology and, among the retouched tools, scrapers are predominant. Raw materials were primarily local and the complete reduction sequence is present in the assemblage with no evidence for import or export of prepared elements. Because of the state of preservation of all aspects of this layer, it represents one of the clearest examples of human management of fire in the European Middle Paleolithic.PaleoAnthropology 2009: 182−219.
