Evidence for the Paleoethnobotany of the Neanderthal: A Review of the Literature by Gerhard P. Shipley, Kelly Kindscher

“…In that light, we review the current evidence, derived from such sources as plant remains (e.g., starch, pollen, phytoliths, and seeds) in soil and dental calculus, dental and tool wear, coprolites, and genetics, for Neanderthal’s nutritional, medicinal, and ritual use of plants, which includes 61 different taxa from 26 different plant families found at 17 different archaeological sites. …”

A sedimentary ancient DNA perspective on human and carnivore persistence through the Late Pleistocene in El Mirón Cave, Spain by Pere Gelabert, Victoria Oberreiter, Lawrence Guy Straus, Manuel Ramón González Morales, Susanna Sawyer, Ana B. Marín-Arroyo, Jeanne Marie Geiling, Florian Exler, Florian Brueck, Stefan Franz, Fernanda Tenorio Cano, Sophie Szedlacsek, Evelyn Zelger, Michelle Hämmerle, Brina Zagorc, Alejandro Llanos-Lizcano, Olivia Cheronet, José-Miguel Tejero, Thomas Rattei, Stephan M. Kraemer, Ron Pinhasi

“…Abstract Caves are primary sites for studying human and animal subsistence patterns and genetic ancestry throughout the Palaeolithic. Iberia served as a critical human and animal refugium in Europe during the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), 26.5 to 19 thousand years before the present (cal kya). …”
