The Acheulian Site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov Volume III Mammalian Taphonomy. The Assemblages of Layers V-5 and V-6 / [electronic resource] : by Rivka Rabinovich, Sabine Gaudzinski-Windheuser, Lutz Kindler, Naama Goren-Inbar. - XLII, 270 p. online resource. - Vertebrate Paleobiology and Paleoanthropology, 1877-9077 .
1. INTRODUCTION -- 2. THE ACHEULIAN SITE OF GESHER BENOT YA‘AQOV -- 3. MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY -- 4. SYSTEMATIC PALEONTOLOGY -- 5. TAPHONOMIC ANALYSIS -- 6. RECONSTRUCTING SITE-FORMATION PROCESSES AT GBY - THE EXPERIMENTS -- 7. A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE TAPHONOMIC HISTORY OF GBY -- 8. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS.
Multidisciplinary research on the Early-Middle Pleistocene site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov has yielded abundant climatic, environmental, ecological and behavioral records. The 15 archaeological horizons form a sequence of Acheulian occupational episodes on the shore of the paleo-Lake Hula. These enable us to reconstruct numerous aspects of the survival and adaptation of ancient hominins, leading to a better understanding of their evolution and behavior. This book presents the faunal analyses of medium-sized and large mammals, providing taxonomic, taphonomic and actualistic data for the largest faunal assemblages. The study of modes of animal exploitation reveals valuable information on hominin behavior.
