Within the framework of archaeological palimpsest dissection, stratigraphic association of
lithic remains with hearths and other archaeological materials in undisturbed Neanderthal …

Analyses devoted to palimpsest dissection and archaeological assemblage formation are
currently topics of growing interest in Palaeolithic research. For many researchers, it is …

Archaeostratigraphic study of the Stratigraphic Unit IV from the Middle Palaeolithic site of El
Pastor (Eastern Iberia) has resulted on the definition of high-resolution analytical units …

We present the results of an exercise in Middle Palaeolithic palimpsest analysis geared
toward the identification of human occupation episodes. It is based on a combined reading …

Isolating the various occupational events in the Palaeolithic record is hard work, because
the remains from different occupations commonly overlap, creating archaeological …

The identification of short-term occupations is a key topic in the discussion of prehistoric
hunter-gatherers settlement patterns. These short-stays can conceal a rich behavioural and …

Abstract The Abrigo de la Quebrada (Chelva, Valencia) stratigraphic succession comprises
nine Middle Palaeolithic levels. Human selection of this rock shelter for occupation owes to …

Testing Neanderthal behavioural hypotheses requires a spatial–temporal resolution to the
level of a human single occupation episode. Yet, most of the behavioural data on …

The superposition of anthropogenic remains usually results in archaeological palimpsests,
hindering an accurate characterization of the behavior underlying such remains. Aimed at …

Although intra-site spatial approaches are considered a key factor when interpreting
archaeological assemblages, these are often based on descriptive, qualitative, and …
