Dead Sea pollen provides new insights into the paleoenvironment of the southern Levant during MIS 6-5 doi Spatial Temporal
The paleoclimate of the southern Levant, especially during the last interglacial (LIG), is still under debate. Reliable paleovegetation information for this period, as independent evidence to the paleoenvironment, was still missing. In this study, we present a high-resolution pollen record encompassing 147-89 ka from the Dead Sea deep drilling core 5017-1A. The sediment profile is marked by alternations of laminated marl deposits and thick massive halite, indicating lake-level fluctuations. The pollen...

Archaeology across the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary in western Germany: Human responses to rapid environmental change
In recent years, new insights into the Mesolithic in the Rhineland and in Westphalia
have been gained. The Early Mesolithic human
remains of the Blätterhöhle in Hagen should especially
be mentioned as they even attracted international attention.
Additionally, a first stratigraphic sequence containing
hearth remains and lithic assemblages of the Early to
Late Mesolithic age has been excavated there. Further
new sites and radiometric investigations on single finds
suggest varying influences from...

Conference report: The 26th Annual Meeting of the German Mesolithic Workgroup
organised and hosted by Annabell Zander (University of York) and Birgit Gehlen (CRC 806, University of Cologne). In sum, more than 70 academics, students and amateur archaeologists from 8 different countries attended this conference. The international programme consisted of 24 talks and 10 poster presentations which were held in English and German. The presentations ranged from international to regional themes concerning the Final Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Early Neolithic.

Foragers and Farmers during the Neolithic Transition in Western Central Europe: Searching for Evidence of Mobility and Intercultural Networks
Introduction
This paper discusses the interaction between foragers and
farmers during the various phases of the neolithisation
processes in south-western and north-western central europe.
The disparate state of research on Late Mesolithic
hunter-gatherer groups and early Neolithic farmers in
terms of the certainty of the detailed chronology, the number
of sites and the comprehensiveness of the find and feature
analyses, does not permit a discussion on the basis of
equally-weighted data....

The Late Palaeolithic and Early Mesolithic in (north)eastern Germany - article
The late Palaeolithic and early Mesolithic in (north) eastern Germany provides good insights into cultural aspects of hunter-gatherer-communities due to the amount and density of key-sites. Representing different geographical zones like coast, lowlands, or middle range mountains, the areas inhabited by Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene hunter-gatherers show a distinct variety within their ecological constraints. Likewise other regions in Europe, these shifted in the area under investigation as a...

Late Neanderthals at Jarama VI (Central Iberia)? doi
Previous geochronological and archaeological studies on the rock shelter Jarama VI suggested a late survival of Neanderthals in central Iberia and the presence of lithic assemblages of Early Upper Paleolithic affinity. New data on granulometry, mineralogical composition, geochemical fingerprints and micromorphology of the sequence corroborate the previous notion that the archaeological units JVI.2.1 to JVI.2.3 are slackwater deposits of superfloods, which did not experience significant post-depositional...

Late Quaternary ecosystem and climate interactions in SW Balkans inferred from Lake Prespa sediments Spatial
The transboundary Lake Prespa and its watershed enclose a remarkable biodiversity that is protected by several national and international treaties. Situated at 849 m a.s.l., the area is characterized by a transitional climate and the closed nature of the basin controls Lake Prespa’s modern hydrology. An 18 m-long sediment sequence was retrieved from a distal location, away from stream inflow, where preliminary hydroacoustic investigations suggested undisturbed sedimentation. Consequently, the sediments were...

Konsum von Landschnecken im Neolithikum: Neue Daten aus dem östlichen Rif (Marokko)

Climate variability over the last 92 ka in SW Balkans from analysis of sediments from Lake Prespa Spatial
The transboundary Lake Prespa (Albania/former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia/Greece) has been recognized as a conservation priority wetland. The high biodiversity encountered in the catchment at present points to the refugial character of this mountainous region in the southwestern Balkans. A lake sediment core retrieved from a coring location in the northern part of the lake was investigated through sedimentological, geochemical, and palynological analyses. Based on tephrochronology, radiocarbon and...
