Abstract

Developing an effective method for recording the data produced, sharing it, and preserving it are essential tasks of the archaeological profession. Although international and national rules are in place, archiving archaeological data is often left to the discretion of the archaeologist in charge of the excavation. It is essential that data management be developed in accordance with the FAIR principles to make data findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (hence the acronym FAIR). Granting agencies, such as the European Research Council and several National Research Funds, require a data management plan as soon as applications for project contributions are submitted. The plan is intended to promote the use of datasets by specifying the standards that will be used to organize the data and metadata and the digital repositories where they will be kept. The plan is also used to define permissions for access to the dataset. From this perspective, archaeologists are expected to make excavation data accessible and interoperable in accordance with the rules specific to their research domain. The purpose of this article is to review the application of FAIR principles in data management plans developed by archaeological projects. First, we will describe the steps necessary to publish archaeological information on the Semantic Web, then we will examine the laws and standards for archiving archaeological data, and then we will review the most commonly used archival systems in the field. In the final section of the article, we will discuss the topic of the data management plan and propose best practices to follow in developing an archaeological data management plan. The set of practices presented will be useful to researchers in managing the life cycle of data from archaeological research.

Abstract

A key event in human evolution is the expansion of modern humans of African origin across Eurasia between 60 and 40 thousand years (kyr) before present (BP), replacing all other forms of hominins (1). Owing to the scarcity of human fossils from this period, these ancestors of all present-day non-African modern populations remain largely enigmatic. Here we describe a partial calvaria, recently discovered at Manot Cave (Western Galilee, Israel) and dated to 54.7 ± 5.5 kyr BP (arithmetic mean [+ or -] 2 standard deviations) by uranium-thorium dating, that sheds light on this crucial event. The overall shape and discrete morphological features of the Manot 1 calvaria demonstrate that this partial skull is unequivocally modern. It is similar in shape to recent African skulls as well as to European skulls from the Upper Palaeolithic period, but different from most other early anatomically modern humans in the Levant. This suggests that the Manot people could be closely related to the first modern humans who later successfully colonized Europe. Thus, the anatomical features used to support the 'assimilation model' in Europe might not have been inherited from European Neanderthals, but rather from earlier Levantine populations. Moreover, at present, Manot 1 is the only modern human specimen to provide evidence that during the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic interface, both modern humans and Neanderthals contemporaneously inhabited the southern Levant, close in time to the likely interbreeding event with Neanderthals (2,3)., Manot is an active karstic cave located 40 km northeast of the Mount Carmel cave sites (Fig. 1). Archaeological material retrieved in five excavation seasons (2010-2014) currently indicates that the [...]

Abstract

The societal "collapse" of the urban-based system, which is part of the rise-flourish-and fall cycle of the protoshistoric societies of the Near East, is investigated via an integrated approach based on the identification of short-term climate changes by stable isotopes analyses on archeobotanical remains and variations in settlement pattern.

Abstract

The transformation of society from mobile hunter-gatherers to settled farmers was completed in Neolithic times and became a point of ‘no return’ in human history. The nature and the origin of that transformation have always been of special interest in terms of guiding research on the Levantine Epipalaeolithic (c. 23–11.5 ka cal BP). The Late Epipalaeolithic Natufian culture (14.5–11.5 ka BP), characterised by stone-built dwellings, elaborate burial practices, objects d’art and personal decoration, is considered a threshold to Neolithic farming communities (Bar-Yosef 1998). While agriculture practised by Natufian hunters was noted in Garrod’s (1932) very first publication of Natufian culture more than 80 years ago, the origin of that culture remains enigmatic. At the same time, large, open-air Early Epipalaeolithic sites discovered during the last decades provide some evidence of social complexity, arguably suggesting cultural continuity and the perception of the transition to agriculture in the Levant as a long, gradual and protracted process

Abstract

The Upper Palaeolithic of the Levant (45 000–22 000 BP) represents the full establishment of modern human behavior in this region following the existence of both modern humans and Neanderthals during the Middle Palaeolithic. The Levantine Upper Palaeolithic shares some similarities to its European counterpart but otherwise is quite different.

Abstract

The discovery of a deep votive well full of pottery, idols of clay, animal bones and charred plant remains, along the wall of the Temple of Rock at Ebla, opened new perspectives in the study of worship activities held in that particular areas. Plant remains were considered as privileged interpretative tools, and careful attention was taken during the collection of samples. Therefore, the investigation started characterizing the different depositional episodes: the ritual fuel discharging was distinguished from the deposition of charred materials in pots. As result, the identification of plant remains collected led to shed light on the type and the geographical origin of the archaeobotanical assemblage as well the meaning assumed by vegetal components in rituals.
