“…The Early Epigravettian assemblages in the region were divided into three phases: an initial phase characterised by a 'large format' industry and an absence of truncations and shouldered backed bladelets; a phase with foliate points; and a phase with shouldered points. The latter was subdivided into three subphases on the basis of the fluctuations in the burin and endscraper Sources: Alessio et al 1964Alessio et al , 1965Alessio et al , 1967Alessio et al , 1976Alessio et al , 1978Azzi et al 1974Azzi et al , 1977Bella et al 1961;Evin et al 1979;Linick 1984;Vogel and Waterbolk 1963.

Hunter‐gatherer land use in Late Glacial south‐east Italy

This paper is concerned with the Late Palaeolithic settlement of south-eastern Italy at the close of the Pleistocene. The Late Palaeolithic assemblages of the region have been studied previously from a rigid typological stance, with various schemes put forward suggesting evolution of the assemblages through different stages of an Epigravettian tradition, while the potential role of social and economic factors in shaping the various industries has been ignored. This paper shows how the Late Palaeolithic occupation of the region should be considered in relation to the former existence of an extensive coastal plain and to the sea-level rise which submerged it. Factors such as the availability of lithic raw material and the alternative strategies by which it was procured, the particular activities in which the tools were used and the role of the sites within a larger land use system were clearly crucial to assemblage composition. GEOGRAPHICAL CONTEXTSouth-east Italy is composed almost exclusively of exogeneous rocks, of which

“…The site was divided into two main areas, a front region under a rock shelter and a rear area accessible by a narrow inner passage. Stratigraphic differences between these regions occur, so that in the rear area the deposits had a depth of 8 m, with levels ranging from the Neolithic (6,420 * 70 years before the present (BPI to the early Epi-Gravettian (18,750 + 350 BP; Alessio et al, 1966Alessio et al, , 1967). In the rock shelter the archaeological deposits were 1.45 thick and included only industries of the late Upper Paleolithic age, although Neolithic deposits were removed in historic times.…”

“…The archaeological levels in which the two individuals were found are dated to 11,150 f 150 BP (Alessio et al, 1966) and are attributed to a n Epi-Paleolithic industry of a Romanellian type (Graziosi, 1971(Graziosi, , 1973. Corroborating this evidence, two large horn fragments were found in the grave (Graziosi, 19631, which are typical grave goods located in other burials (such as San Teodoro and Tagliente) of late Pleistocene age in Italy (Mussi, 1987a).…”

A case of chondrodystrophic dwarfism in the Italian late Upper Paleolithic

During excavations by P. Graziosi at Romito Cave near Papasidero (Cosenza) in Calabria, Italy, two skeletons (Romito 1 and 2) were discovered in a common grave. Although the specimens were briefly described by Messeri (Atti X Riuniuone Scientifica Ist. Ital. Preist. Protost., pp. 301-307, 1966), it is generally unknown in the anthropological literature that one of these individuals is a chondrodystrophic dwarf. As such, the specimen provides the earliest known case of dwarfism in the human skeletal record, extending the time span of this genetically determined growth abnormality to approximately 10,000 years ago. The specimen (Romito 2) exhibits features typical of chondrodysplasia, including a high domed skull, compressed cranial base, and in the postcranial skeleton extremely shortened diaphyseal lengths. The unique combination of these features suggests this pathological condition is acromesomelic dysplasia. Besides providing evidence for a greater antiquity of dwarfism than previously known, the fact that this individual reached late adolescence attests to tolerance of Upper Paleolithic groups for severely abnormal individuals and their ability to support members who were of limited economic value to the social group.

“…The finding shows that GSM was occupied by humans at least from the late Upper Paleolithic (around 14,200 cal yr BP) to historical times. This stratigraphic succession was divided into ten distinct archaeological layers which correspond to different periods when the cave was inhabited, as reported by Alessio et al, [ 42 , 43 ], from top to bottom: I, Roman period; II, Bronze age; III, Eneolithic; IV, period not identified; V, late Neolithic; VI, VII and VIII, Middle Neolithic; IX, Mesolithic and X, Upper Paleolithic. Each layer was subdivided into stratigraphical spits (or sections) numbered with Arabic numbers from 0 (top) to 72 (bottom) and, for some of them, samples of charcoal, charred bones or shells were radiocarbon dated by Alessio et al [ 42 , 43 ].…”

The Effects of Paleoclimatic Events on Mediterranean Trout: Preliminary Evidences from Ancient DNA

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this pilot study for the first time, ancient DNA has been extracted from bone remains of Salmo trutta. These samples were from a stratigraphic succession located in a coastal cave of Calabria (southern Italy) inhabited by humans from upper Palaeolithic to historical times. Seven pairs of primers were used to PCR-amplify and sequence from 128 to 410 bp of the mtDNA control region of eleven samples. Three haplotypes were observed: two (ADcs-1 and MEcs-1) already described in rivers from the Italian peninsula; one (ATcs-33) belonging to the southern Atlantic clade of the AT Salmo trutta mtDNA lineage (sensu Bernatchez). The prehistoric occurrence of this latter haplotype in the water courses of the Italian peninsula has been detected for the first time in this study. Finally, we observed a correspondence between frequency of trout remains and variation in haplotype diversity that we related with ecological and demographic changes resulting from a period of rapid cooling known as the Younger Dryas.

Abstract: The list includes age measurements carried out from December 1964 to October 1965. As in the previous list (Rome III) the samples dated are almost all of archaeological interest and are drawn from Italian and some European and Asiatic territories.
