Do Mondego ao Espichel: Encontro sobre Paleontologia e Arqueologia na Bacia Lusitânica

Este encontro dedicado à paleontologia e à arqueologia da área geográfica que vai desde o Cabo Mondego ao Cabo Espichel, englobando as regiões da Estremadura, Beira Litoral e parte do Ribatejo, corresponde, de grosso modo, à grande unidade geológica, denominada “Bacia Lusitânica”.
Organizado pelo Centro Português de Geo-História e Pré-História, no Museu Nacional de Arqueologia, este encontro enquadra-se nas actividades desenvolvidas no âmbito da exposição “Um Olhar Sobre a Pré-História do Espichel”, patente neste Museu até Janeiro de 2012. Pretende também ampliar o conhecimento e a divulgação da paleontologia e da arqueologia desta região de Portugal.
De facto, esta área geográfica integra um vasto leque de zonas que guardam um património de grande valor geológico, paleontológico e arqueológico: aqui temos a ocorrência, por exemplo, de vestígios de dinossauros, nas formações mesozóicas, de mastodontes, de crocodilos, de tubarões e de outros vertebrados do Miocénico e de elefantes, do Pleistocénico. A nível arqueológico há a destacar os vestígios da ocupação humana, que vem desde o Paleolítico à época histórica.

Descobertas revelam que humanos já pescavam há 42 mil anos

38 mil ossos fossilizados encontrados em Timor-Leste
In Ciência Hoje 2011-11-25

Descobertas arqueológicas em Timor-Leste revelaram que a pesca ao anzol começou há 42 mil anos, muito antes daquilo que se supunha, segundo um estudo divulgado na revista «NewScientist».
Já se sabia que o mar aberto não era um obstáculo na era do Plistoceno e que os humanos terão cruzado centenas de quilómetros de oceano para chegar à Austrália há 50 mil anos. No entanto, embora nessa altura já se apanhasse marisco há 100 mil anos, as primeiras provas de pesca com anzol ou arpão surgem muito mais tarde, há pelo menos 12 mil anos.


Imagen de los anzuelos más antiguos jamás encontrados Science
Agora, as descobertas da equipa de Sue O'Connor, da Universidade Nacional Australiana, em Camberra, mostram que a pesca começou muito antes disso.
Em escavações na caverna de Jerimalai, em Timor-Leste, os investigadores encontraram 38 mil ossos de peixes fossilizados, pertencentes a espécies como atum ou peixe-papagaio, que só se encontram a grandes profundidades. A datação por rádiocarbono revelou que os ossos mais antigos datavam de há 42 mil anos.
Além dos ossos, os cientistas descobriram um anzol feito a partir de uma concha, que a equipa datou de entre 16 e 23 mil anos atrás. "É o mais antigo exemplo de um anzol de pesca", disse Sue O'Connor.
Sandra Bowdler, da Universidade da Austrália Ocidental, em Perth, que não esteve envolvida no estudo, acredita que os seres humanos que viviam em Timor-Leste há 42 mil anos tinham técnicas de pesca muito desenvolvidas. "Nesta altura, os humanos modernos teriam as mesmas capacidades do que temos hoje", disse.
Timor-Leste tem poucos animais terrestres de grande porte, por isso os colonizadores teriam de ter técnicas de pesca altamente desenvolvidas para sobreviver. "A necessidade é a mãe da invenção", disse O'Connor. "Além de ratos e morcegos, não há ali mais nada para comer", acrescentou.
No entanto, estas descobertas não significam que a pesca tenha começado na região. Naquela altura, os níveis do mar eram entre 60 e 70 metros mais baixos do que hoje, pelo que quaisquer provas de ocupação humana que estivessem na costa de então - e não no alto de falésias costeiras, como terá sido o caso de Jerimalai - estão hoje submersas.

Japan's oldest known human remains found in cave on Ishigaki Island

A piece of human rib bone dating back some 24,000 years
is pictured at the University of the Ryukyus on Nov. 10.
(Mainichi)
Japan's oldest known human remains have been found in cave remains on Ishigaki Island in Okinawa Prefecture, a researcher has announced.
Minoru Yoneda, associate professor at the University of Tokyo, confirmed the human remains dating back some 24,000 years after inspecting human bones excavated at the Shirahosaonetabaru cave remains in the city of Ishigaki, Okinawa Prefecture.
The ancient cave is also home to approximately 20,000-year-old human remains dating back to the Paleolithic Period -- previously the nation's oldest known traces of human existence. A past survey had found that one of the six pieces of human bones found at the site dated back some 20,000 years through direct measurement of radioactive carbon of collagen extracted from those bones. However, researchers had been unable to identify the geological layer that hosted the human remains.
Yoneda analyzed some 25 pieces of human bones that were freshly excavated from the 20,000 to 24,000-year-old bottom layer and other locations at the cave remains before 2010. By using radiocarbon dating, one of the rib bone pieces excavated from the bottom layer has turned out to be about 24,000 years old, while three other bone fragments proved to be some 20,000 years old.
On mainland Japan, which has abundant acid soil, human remains found in Hamakita (present-day Hamamatsu), Shizuoka Prefecture -- which have been confirmed to date back some 18,000 years through the use of radiocarbon dating -- are the only known human bones from the Paleolithic Period.

The Mesolithic/Neolithic transition on the Costa Vicentina, Portugal

The Mesolithic/Neolithic transition on the Costa Vicentina, Portugal

In Portugal, Mesolithic shellfisher/gatherers persisted in estuary environments, long after agricultural economies were established elsewhere. The co-existence of foragers and farmers makes Portugal an interesting region in which to study whether resource depression is a common factor in the adoption of agriculture. It is difficult to generalize about Mesolithic and Neolithic resource use, since faunal remains at archaeological sites reflect the variation in terrestrial and marine species available to inhabitants of rocky shores, sandy estuary environments, and interior zones. On the Costa Vicentina, where the transition to agriculture occurred quite early, assemblages from a variety of Mesolithic and Neolithic sites show a trend toward lower energetic returns from wild resources, both in shifting species compositions, and in shellfish diminution. The most significant decrease in foraging efficiency occurred across the Mesolithic/Neolithic transition, suggesting a causal relationship between resource stress and the emergence of farming.

The Influence of Late Quaternary Climate-Change Velocity on Species Endemism

The effects of climate change on biodiversity should depend in part on climate displacement rate (climate-change velocity) and its interaction with species’ capacity to migrate. We estimated Late Quaternary glacial-interglacial climate-change velocity by integrating macroclimatic shifts since the Last Glacial Maximum with topoclimatic gradients. Globally, areas with high velocities were associated with marked absences of small-ranged amphibians, mammals, and birds. The association between endemism and velocity was weakest in the highly vagile birds and strongest in the weakly dispersing amphibians, linking dispersal ability to extinction risk due to climate change. High velocity was also associated with low endemism at regional scales, especially in wet and aseasonal regions. Overall, we show that low-velocity areas are essential refuges for Earth’s many small-ranged species.

Archaic human ancestry in East Asia

Pontus Skoglund and Mattias Jakobsson a, b

Department of Evolutionary Biology and
Science for Life Laboratory, Uppsala University, 75236 Uppsala, Sweden
Recent studies of ancient genomes have suggested that gene flow from archaic hominin groups to the ancestors of modern humans occurred on two separate occasions during the modern human expansion out of Africa. At the same time, decreasing levels of human genetic diversity have been found at increasing distance from Africa as a consequence of human expansion out of Africa. We analyzed the signal of archaic ancestry in modern human populations, and we investigated how serial founder models of human expansion affect the signal of archaic ancestry using simulations. For descendants of an archaic admixture  event, we show that genetic drift coupled with ascertainment bias for common alleles can cause artificial but largely predictable differences in similarity to archaic genomes. In genotype data from non-Africans, this effect results in a biased genetic similarity to Neandertals with increasing distance from Africa. However, in addition to the previously reported gene flow between Neandertals and non-Africans as well as gene flow between an archaic human population from Siberia (“Denisovans”) and Oceanians, we found a significant affinity between East Asians, particularly Southeast Asians, and the Denisova genome—a pattern that is not expected under a model of solely Neandertal admixture in the ancestry of East Asians. These results suggest admixture between Denisovans or a Denisova-related population and the ancestors of East Asians, and that the history of anatomically modern and archaic humans might be more complex than previously proposed.

Ancient artist's toolkit a clue to early humans

Color was mixed in this 100,000-year-old shell.
A hundred thousand years ago, not long after Homo sapiens emerged as a species, a craftsman - or woman - sat in a cave overlooking the Indian Ocean, crushed a soft rusty red rock, mixed it inside a shell with charcoal and animal marrow, and dabbed it on something - maybe a face, maybe a wall.

Before the person left, he or she stacked the shell and grindstones in a neat pile, where they lay undisturbed for a hundred millennia.

Unearthed in 2008 and described Friday in the journal Science, these paint "toolkits," researchers say, push deeper into human history evidence for artistic impulses and complex, planned behavior.

"They probably understood basic chemistry," said Christopher Henshilwood, the archaeologist who led the discovery team.

Traces of paint on the tools show that the cave dwellers mixed ocher - red or yellow minerals that contain metal oxides - with marrow from bones, charcoal, flecks of quartz and a liquid, probably water. Paint experts at the Louvre in Paris performed the analysis.

With ground ocher as the base, the marrow and charcoal acted as binders. The quartz could have made the compound sticky, while water - in the right amount - provided the proper consistency.

The cave, called Blombos, sits in a cliff on the coast of South Africa about 180 miles east of Cape Town. It shows signs of human use starting 130,000 years ago. The discovery adds to other early artistic treasures at Blombos, including 49 beads smeared with ocher and large pieces of ocher inscribed with cross-hatch patterns that date to 77,000 years ago - widely recognized as the oldest known art.

The cave walls show no paintings, but quickly accreting limestone would have obscured any obvious signs, Henshilwood said.

Unfrozen


There was only one way scientists could unlock the mystery of the famous Iceman.
Take away his ice.

Shortly after 6 p.m. on a drizzling, dreary November day in 2010, two men dressed in green surgical scrubs opened the door of the Iceman's chamber in the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology in Bolzano, Italy. They slid the frozen body onto a stainless steel gurney. One of the men was a young scientist named Marco Samadelli. Normally, it was his job to keep the famous Neolithic mummy frozen under the precise conditions that had preserved it for 5,300 years, following an attack that had left the Iceman dead, high on a nearby mountain. On this day, however, Samadelli had raised the temperature in the museum's tiny laboratory room to 18°C—64°F.
