Question 5

A new hominin site is discovered in Africa, dating to approximately 1.6 mya, and there are three bones that show intriguing marks. However, your colleagues disagree if they are cut marks or carnivore tooth marks and ask you to take a look at the bones. Pictures of Marks 1-3 are close ups of the marks taken using a scanning electron microscope.

Look at the following three marks and say if you think they represent cut marks or carnivore tooth marks, and explain the reasoning behind your answers.

Question 6

You are examining the animal remains found at two hominin sites that are located relatively near each other on the Western Coast of Italy (Site A and Site B). You are still waiting for the official reports on the dates for the sites, but it is likely that one dates to around 65 kya, and the other dates to around 24 kya. You just can’t remember which is which. The lists below give the primary animal species that were excavated from the sites, and cut marks, burning, and breakage patterns show the animals were consumed by humans. Hint- you are given scientific names for the species, and I suggest doing a Google search to get the common names, which you will need to help reconstruct the behavior at the sites.

Use the animal species found in the two sites to determine which date belongs to which site. Be sure to explain your answer. Also, discuss what other types of cultural remains you might expect to see at the site.

Site A:

Cervus elaphus

Bos primigenius

Monodonta turbinate

Testudo graeca

Coturnix coturnix

Oryctolagus cuniculus

Site B:

Cervus elaphus

Bos primigenius

Capreolus capreolus
