Fungi are a common part of modern human diets, but are rarely discussed in an archaeological context. Power et al. (2015) published data on bolete spores in human tooth calculus, suggesting that Upper Palaeolithic peoples ate mushrooms. Here we brief...

Hominin home ranges and habitat variability: exploring modern African analogues using remote sensing (2016)
Journal Article
O'Regan, H. J., Wilkinson, D. M., & Marston, C. G. (2016). Hominin home ranges and habitat variability: exploring modern African analogues using remote sensing. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 9, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2016.06.043

The palaeoanthropological literature contains numerous examples of putative home range sizes associated with various hominin species. However, the resolution of the palaeoenvironmental record seldom allows the quantitative analysis of the effects of...
