摘要
诺塔奇里科(Notarchirico)漫长的沉积序列提供了欧洲最早的阿切列人(Acheulean)表现形式之一的证据,也提供了从间冰期 MIS 17 末期到冰期 MIS 16(约 695-610 ka)期间人类活动的证据。在此,我们根据 A 层的一根跖骨,报告了在该遗址新发现的狮子(Panthera spelaea)。因此,诺塔奇里科狮子是欧洲西南部最早被证实出现的狮子,尽管邻近地区也有更早的发现。狮子和其他一些大型哺乳动物物种是在早更新世-中更新世过渡时期散布到欧洲的,这一时期也见证了阿切列人的传播。对于类人猿和其他物种来说,生态和行为适应性可能是应对这一时期发生的剧烈而反复的环境波动的关键。
Early occurrence of lion (Panthera spelaea) at the Middle Pleistocene Acheulean site of Notarchirico (MIS 16, Italy)
The long sedimentary sequence of Notarchirico has yielded evidence of one of the earliest Acheulean manifestations in Europe and of recurrent hominin occupation, spanning from the end of the interglacial MIS 17 to the glacial MIS 16 (~695–610 ka). Here, we report the new discovery of a lion, Panthera spelaea, from the site, based on a metatarsal from layer A. This part of the sequence dates to ~660–612 ka (MIS 16, 40Ar/39Ar age). Therefore, Notarchirico's lion represents the earliest confirmed occurrence of the species in southwestern Europe, although older findings are known from adjacent areas. Lions and several other large mammal species dispersed into Europe during the Early–Middle Pleistocene Transition, which also witnessed the spread of the Acheulean. Ecological and behavioural adaptability was probably key, for hominins and other species, to cope with the intense and recurrent environmental fluctuations that occurred during this period.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Quaternary Science publishes original papers on any field of Quaternary research, and aims to promote a wider appreciation and deeper understanding of the earth''s history during the last 2.58 million years. Papers from a wide range of disciplines appear in JQS including, for example, Archaeology, Botany, Climatology, Geochemistry, Geochronology, Geology, Geomorphology, Geophysics, Glaciology, Limnology, Oceanography, Palaeoceanography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, Palaeontology, Soil Science and Zoology. The journal particularly welcomes papers reporting the results of interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary research which are of wide international interest to Quaternary scientists. Short communications and correspondence relating to views and information contained in JQS may also be considered for publication.
