Opportunistic fire in the Early Palaeolithic: evidence of small mammal incidental burning at Cueva Negra del Estrecho del Rio Quípar ( Murcia, Spain). (2015)
Cueva Negra, an upland rock-shelter in southeastern Spain, has revealed a delineated ash feature containing burnt macrofauna and chert within Early Pleistocene deposits (>0.78 Ma). This paper details a novel methodology utilizing heat-altered micromammal remains to identify opportunistic fire-use by the inhabitants of this site. We hypothesize that micromammal bones deposited in the by non-human predators were unintentionally modified by anthropogenic fire, and may be used as proxy evidence of...
The promise and pitfalls of quantitative paleoenvironmental reconstruction in zooarchaeology: evaluation of late Quaternary micromammal assemblages from southern Africa (2017)
Over the last several decades, Quaternary scientists have developed numerous techniques to generate quantitative paleoenvironmental reconstructions based on the taxonomic composition of fossil assemblages. The appeal of these methods is that, rather than providing reconstructions in qualitative terms (e.g., cooler versus warmer), they offer potential to generate numerical assessments. While these methods have been applied to a variety of fossil organisms, including pollen, diatoms, foraminifera,...
