Paleoecology of 'Ubeidiya: Deer Dental Microwear Patterns and Implications for Out of Africa I

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2025: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 90th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

Recreating past environments is a useful tool in understanding the adaptation and behaviors of human ancestors. To reconstruct the palo-environment of ‘Ubeidiya, a site for migrating hominins during out of Africa I, environmental proxies were examined. Specifically, the vegetation of the site was reconstructed using the dental remains of ungulates and compared to additional paleo-environmental proxies of the region. Findings were then interpreted using behavioral analysis and Risk Theory.
