Reply to: ‘In the eye of the beholder: contextual issues for Bayesian modelling at the Middle-to-Upper Palaeolithic transition’, by Discamps, Gravina and Teyssandier (2015) by Higham, T, Heep, G

European Middle and Upper Palaeolithic radiocarbon dates are often older than they look: the problems with previous dates and some remedies by Higham, T

A matter of time – towards an absolute chronology for the Middle-Upper Palaeolithic biocultural shift along the Danube fluvial corridor by Hopkins, RJA

“…Recent research has shown the need for a reliable, high-resolution chronology to understand the complexity of the spatio-temporal distribution of Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans (AMH) during the transitional period between the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic. One region that has yet to benefit from the developments in dating sciences and the application of Bayesian modelling approaches is eastern Europe. …”

The analysis of quaternary cave sediments and its bearing upon palaeolithic archaeology, with special reference to selected sites from western Britain by Collcutt, SN

“…<p>The present thesis constitutes a reassessment of quaternary cave sediment analysis and its relationships to palaeolithic archaeology. Traditionally, archaeological cave sediments have been interpreted in climatic terms, the arguments usually being based upon compositional and textural parameters measured in the laboratory using a fixed batch of analytical techniques. …”
