New discoveries of Middle Paleolithic human remains from the “Bau de l'Aubésier (Vaucluse, France)”
Excavations in Middle Paleolithic levels at the “Bau de l’Aubésier (Vaucluse)” during 2000 yielded a maxillary molar and a partial mandible from late Middle Pleistocene levels, plus a maxillary molar from the early Late Pleistocene. The Middle Pleistocene remains (Aubesier 10 and 11) have close morp...

| description | Excavations in Middle Paleolithic levels at the “Bau de l’Aubésier (Vaucluse)” during 2000 yielded a maxillary molar and a partial mandible from late Middle Pleistocene levels, plus a maxillary molar from the early Late Pleistocene. The Middle Pleistocene remains (Aubesier 10 and 11) have close morphological affinities to contemporaneous European human remains, and the Neandertal molar (Aubesier 12) falls well within Neandertal ranges of variation. The teeth are notable for a toothpick groove on Aubesier 10 and the large dental caries in Aubesier 12. The Aubesier 11 mandible exhibits extensive pathological alterations of the alveolar process, indicating serious impairment of mastication. |
