Reconsidering the middle to upper Paleolithic transition in S/W-France: The case of the Châtelperronian
Châtelperronian Points from the Pas-Estret site (Beune) near Les Eyzies excavated during a couple of days by Dr. Ampoullanges in 1911.

Ornaments during the Paleolithic: The desire for differentiation
These are intact Dentalium tubes from the “Epiaurignacian” site Langmannersdorf in Lower Austria (http://www.aggsbach.de/2011/01/paleolithic-pendants-from-the-epiaurignacian-site-at-langmannersdorf-in-lower-austria/) Personal ornaments act beyond a simply aesthetical function; instead they tie together individuals, societies, and ethnic groups. Fundamentally, it is also an important part of our … Continue reading
