However, low collagen content, contamination from the burial environment, or museum conservation work, such as addition of glues, preservatives, and fumigants to “protect†archaeological materials, have previously led to inaccurate dates. M.Īrchaeological bones are usually dated by radiocarbon measurement of extracted collagen. Single amino acid radiocarbon dating of Upper Paleolithic modern humans Copyright © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Specifically, significant differences in diet were found between the earlier Upper Paleolithic individuals, i.e., those belonging to the Aurignacian and Gravettian contexts, and the later Magdalenian ones, such that the diet of the latter group was more varied and included more abrasive foods compared with those of the former. However, the microwear texture analysis does detect culturally related changes in the Upper Paleolithic humans' diets. The results of this analysis do not reveal any environmentally driven dietary shifts for the Upper Paleolithic hominins indicating that the climatic and their associated paleoecological changes did not force these humans to significantly alter their diets in order to survive. The occlusal molar microwear textures of these specimens were analyzed with the aim of examining the effects of the climatic, as well as the cultural, changes on the diets of the Upper Paleolithic modern humans. This article presents the results of the occlusal molar microwear texture analysis of 32 adult Upper Paleolithic modern humans from a total of 21 European sites dating to marine isotope stages 3 and 2. pp. 456–483.Diet of upper paleolithic modern humans: evidence from microwear texture analysis.

Abstracts and Materials from the First Interdisciplinary Symposium on Language and Prehistory, Ann Arbor, 8–12 November 1988. Some of his work on the relationship between linguistic associations and the hypothetical Proto-World language is controversial. This symposium led to renewed cooperation among historical linguists, archeologists, and physical anthropologists from East and West. Forty-six scholars participated as presenters and discussants, sixteen of which were from Russia and other eastern European countries (or recently emigrated therefrom). In 1988 he and Benjamin Stolz organized the First International Interdisciplinary Symposium on Language and Prehistory, at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Shevoroshkin is also a leader in the study of language in prehistory ( paleolinguistics), and in publicizing the recent work of paleolinguists, especially Russians. He is now a professor emeritus of Slavic Languages and Literatures and Linguistics at the University of Michigan. In the 1970s he emigrated to the United States. In the 1960s he tried to decipher Carian inscriptions and proved that their language belonged to the Anatolian languages. Shevoroshkin was born in 1932 in Georgia (USSR). Vitaly Victorovich Shevoroshkin (Russian: Виталий Викторович Шеворошкин) is an American linguist of Russian origin, specializing in the study of ancient Mediterranean languages.
