PALEOANTHROPOLOGY paleoanthropology. Dmanisi. 2282prop.jpg (122941 bytes), Dmanisi hominids. To day we have recovered more than twenty hominid remains in Dmanisi. http://www.dmanisi.org.ge/paleoanthropology.htm
Extractions: PALEOANTHROPOLOGY Dmanisi Dmanisi hominids To day we have recovered more than twenty hominid remains in Dmanisi. This includes three mandibles, three hominid skulls and several postcranial parts. The Dmanisi hominid remains are the first hominids discovered outside of Africa to show clear affinities to African H. ergaster rather than to more typical Asian H. erectus or to any European hominid. Mandible D-211, is different from all known Homo erectus specimens, but at the same time displays a certain similarity to several African fossils from Koobi Fora and Ileret (e.g., ER 992, and ER 730). It resembles these specimens in the general form and robustness of the jaw , in the anterior position of the ascending ramus , which includes the edge of the retromolar space; in the absence of trigonum mentale , and in some other particularities. At the same time, it differs from those specimens in some important features. In particular the molars decreased in size from M¹ to M³, P² is very small and, anterior surface of symphysis is less receding. and other features.
THE PALEOLITHIC ARCHAEOLOGY OF WEASEL CAVE A report on a site located in Ossetia, Russia presented by Nazim Hidjrati, Larry Kimball, and Todd Koetje at the 1996 paleoanthropology meetings. http://www.acs.appstate.edu/dept/anthro/new_orleans.html
Extractions: Dr. Todd A. Koetje tkoetje@grove.iup.edu North Ossetia is situated in the center of the Caucasian isthmus between the Caspian and the Black Seas. It is very mountainous with well-defined vertical environments situated between 100 and 5000 m AMSL. In the ancient past it attracted people due to the variety of habitats and its diversity of animal and plant life. It is generally thought that human occupation of the Caucasus began in the Acheulean (700,000 to 400,000 years ago) during the Gunz-Mindel. However, artifacts dating to ca. 1 million years ago have been discovered at Azych Cave, in Azerbaidjan, and the site of Dmanisi in Georgia is dated to ca. 1.9 mya, and contains H. erectus fossils.
Haemotaphonomy. The "strange" World Of Bloodstains' Cells. Brief overview of research on red blood cell morphology in bloodstains and its application to archaeology and paleoanthropology. http://www.angelfire.com/linux/haemotaphonomy/index.html
Extractions: Haemotaphonomy The "strange" world of bloodstains' cells by Policarp Hortolà The term h aemotaphonomy was proposed by the author in a paper published in 1992 in Forensic Science International . It refer s to " the study of bloodstains, and e specially of the changes in appearance and size of the cellular components, as well as the characteristics of their cell position and appearance in function of the superficial topography and composition of the substrate ". The presence of all kind of residues on implements agrees with the criminalistic well-known Locards Principle of Exchange ('every contact leaves traces'). On the other hand, actuopalaeontology and experimental archaeology are both based upon the Lyells Principle of Actualism ('the present is the key to the past'). A short-time preservation of specimens is a sine qua non precondition to do feasible a (palaeobiological, bioarchaeological , forensic ) longer one.

KOW SWAMP: IS IT HOMO ERECTUS? PART II paleoanthropology article about the Australian hominid fossils, with several illustrations. http://home.twmi.rr.com/canovan/kowswamp/kowswamp.htm
Extractions: The title of this article is misleading. A better caption might read, "A Refutation of the Supposed Insignificance of Certain Australian Hominid Fossils". This discussion will not involve whether the Australian Kow Swamp fossils are Homo erectus. They are not and no scientists presently would say otherwise. Neither will this argument be about Kow Swamp specifically but rather what it represents: a larger group of Australian hominids that have been discovered as long ago as the 1880s. These fossils include Talgai, Cohuna, Nacurrie, Coobool Creek, Kow Swamp, Willandra Lakes, and others. All of these fossils which will be referred to as Kow Swamp type (KS type), share archaic features reminiscent of the much earlier H.erectus. Yet they are modern in terms of age - ten to thirty thousand years ago. Other much older human fossils in Australia have shown relatively little of this archaic leaning. Scientifically, the KS types dont seem to "fit in" with their primitive features yet recent age. They have remained as odd footnotes in the world of Paleoanthropology. That their relevance has been ignored is regrettable enough but their rejection as a late chapter to the H.erectus story is unacceptable to this writer. Accepting these fossils for what they are has been a problem for many anthropologists. Part of this problem , possibly, is the fact that the present aboriginal population in this area of the globe, to varying lesser degrees has been known to exhibit some or all of the traits that make the Kow Swamp type so controversial. This would indicate an obvious line (or lines) of descent. This is not really surprising when the age (or lack thereof) of the fossils themselves is taken into consideration. obviously the specimens now preserved do not represent the
Extractions: Four Associated Activities of this Unit: The chicken foot reassembly. To establish the difficulties encountered reassembling fossil bones, each student is given a fresh, boiled chicken foot with the challenge that s/he clean the foot of all soft tissues, including cartilage, and reassemble the dried bones to make the original appendage. Students rapidly appreciate how much tissue is usually lost in the process of fossilization. They recognize the need to organize their bones in practical, retrievable ways, and note patterns in bone struct ure. Analyzing a geological cake. To explore the rules that govern assessment of geological sites, the class is given a layer cake to analyze. Layers are thin, many in number, varied in flavor, separated by colorful layers of icing, and interspersed with various candy "fossils." The task is to establish the chronology of events by which the cake was assembled and to justify each statement with physical evidence. Through discussion of their discovery process, students are able to establish the logical ba sis for geology's uniformitarian rules of superposition, original horizontality, inclusions, and igneous crosscutting. The activity is just goofy enough to be intriguing. Since the formal geologist's logic matches their own detective work, acceptance of the scientific norm, and even its nomenclature, is relatively easy.
