AIA Lecture: Neanderthal Hunting Strategies in the NE Mediterranean
Time: 12:00 pm til 1:00 pm
Location: UNF Archaeology Lab
Description: Neanderthal Hunting Strategies in the Northeastern Mediterranean
Presented by Dr. Jacqueline Meier, professor of Anthropology at the University of North Florida
Our early human ancestors used diverse strategies to meet the changing subsistence demands of a wide array of environments. Until recently, the general research consensus supported a hypothesis that prior to the Upper Paleolithic period, Neanderthals and other archaic Homo species hunted a narrow range of animals and exploited mainly large herd animals across the Mediterranean region. This presentation will reveal new data about hunting practices from some of the earliest Paleolithic archaeological sites in France to reconsider the notion that Neanderthals exclusively hunted big game. Together, the recent findings of this zooarchaeological research yield new insights into early human and Neanderthal life-ways.
