Methods for U-series Dating of CaCO3 Crusts Associated with Palaeolithic Cave Art and Application to Iberian Sites (2016)
Journal Article
Hoffmann, D., Pike, A., García-Diez, M., Pettitt, P., & Zilhão, J. (2016). Methods for U-series Dating of CaCO3 Crusts Associated with Palaeolithic Cave Art and Application to Iberian Sites. Quaternary Geochronology, 36, 104-109. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quageo.2016.07.004

U-series dating is a precise and accurate geochronological tool which is widely applied to date secondary CaCO3 formation, for example in speleothem based palaeoclimate research. It can also be employed to provide chronological constraints for archae...

Shoot First, Ask Questions Later: interpretative Narratives of Neanderthal Hunting (2016)
Journal Article
White, M., Pettitt, P., & Schreve, D. (2016). Shoot First, Ask Questions Later: interpretative Narratives of Neanderthal Hunting. Quaternary Science Reviews, 140, 1-20. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quascirev.2016.03.004

This paper examines the hunting strategies employed by Neanderthals at a series of kill or near-kill sites from the Middle Palaeolithic of Europe (Mauran, La Borde, Taubach, Zwoleń and Salzgitter Lebenstedt). Using palaeolandscape reconstructions and... Read More about Shoot First, Ask Questions Later: interpretative Narratives of Neanderthal Hunting.

Dating Palaeolithic cave art: why U-Th is the way to go (2016)
Journal Article
Pike, A., Hoffmann, D., Pettitt, P., García-Diez, M., & Zilhão, J. (2016). Dating Palaeolithic cave art: why U-Th is the way to go. Quaternary International, 432(B), 41-49. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.quaint.2015.12.013

The chronology of European Upper Palaeolithic cave art is poorly known. Three chronometric techniques are commonly applicable: AMS 14C, TL and U–Th, and in recent years the efficacy of each has been the subject of considerable debate. We review here...
