AB  - Over the past few years, new investigations in northern Bulgaria at the site of Bacho Kiro have revived the likelihood that the "Danube corridor" route served as a primary axis for the dispersal of modern humans into Europe. The association of modern humans with material remains of Protoaurignacian and Aurignacian provenance and/or transitional industries, would push the start of the dispersal across this region to 47 ka. Furthermore, fossil remains from the cave site of Peștera cu Oase in the Romanian hinterland of the Danube Gorges area of the north-central Balkans provide genetic evidence of admixtures between Neanderthal and modern human populations that might have taken place precisely along this transitory corridor. Yet, there is still relatively little in the way of evidence about, on the one hand, the last Middle Palaeolithic, and by proxy Neanderthal, and, on the other hand, the Initial and Early Upper Palaeolithic, and by proxy modern human, settlement of the region. Our recent investigations in the Danube Gorges area have brought to light two new sites, Tabula Traiana Cave and Dubočka-Kozja Cave, with Middle to Upper Palaeolithic deposits. The application of modern standards of recovery and recording have enabled us to apply a suite of cutting edge and state-of-the-art methodologies backed by extensive radiometric dating of these sites’ deposits. In this paper, we will present most recently obtained radiocarbon accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) measurements, which allow us to discuss the chronological attribution of different levels of the two sites with more certainty. We will also offer further details regarding the knapped stone assemblages, including the results of use-wear analyses on a select number of artefacts. Finally, this evidence is integrated with the results obtained through the analyses of the faunal assemblages and by characterizing taphonomic factors that impacted their formation. Complementary data come from a relatively large pool of unidentifiable bone samples analyzed through the application of proteomic fingerprinting known as the Zooarchaeology by Mass Spectrometry (ZooMS), which has allowed us to better characterize the animal taxa composition of the faunal assemblages from the two sites and identify agents of bone accumulation. The results indicate a late continuation of the Middle Palaeolithic presence characterized by a Levallois-derived lithic industry at one of the two sites and the broadly contemporaneous appearance of the Early Upper Palaeolithic tools in the lithic assemblage of the other site. We discuss how the locations of the two sites in this specific landscape zone along the Danube might have influenced their respective uses.

AB  - The article presents evidence about the Middle Palaeolithic and Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition interval in the karst area of the Danube Gorges in the Lower Danube Basin. We review the extant data and present new evidence from two recently investigated sites found on the Serbian side of the Danube River - Tabula Traiana and Dubocka-Kozja caves. The two sites have yielded layers dating to both the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic and have been investigated by the application of modern standards of excavation and recovery along with a suite of state-of-the-art analytical procedures. The presentation focuses on micromorphological analyses of the caves' sediments, characterisation of cryptotephra, a suite of new radiometric dates (accelerator mass spectrometry and optically stimulated luminescence) as well as proteomics (zooarchaeology by mass spectrometry) and stable isotope data in discerning patterns of human occupation of these locales over the long term.

AB  - Archaeological dental calculus, or mineralized plaque, is a key tool to track the evolution of oral microbiota across time in response to processes that impacted our culture and biology, such as the rise of farming during the Neolithic. However, the extent to which the human oral flora changed from prehistory until present has remained elusive due to the scarcity of data on the microbiomes of prehistoric humans. Here, we present our reconstruction of oral microbiomes via shotgun metagenomics of dental calculus in 44 ancient foragers and farmers from two regions playing a pivotal role in the spread of farming across Europe-the Balkans and the Italian Peninsula. We show that the introduction of farming in Southern Europe did not alter significantly the oral microbiomes of local forager groups, and it was in particular associated with a higher abundance of the species Olsenella sp. oral taxon 807. The human oral environment in prehistory was dominated by a microbial species, Anaerolineaceae bacterium oral taxon 439, that diversified geographically. A Near Eastern lineage of this bacterial commensal dispersed with Neolithic farmers and replaced the variant present in the local foragers. Our findings also illustrate that major taxonomic shifts in human oral microbiome composition occurred after the Neolithic and that the functional profile of modern humans evolved in recent times to develop peculiar mechanisms of antibiotic resistance that were previously absent.

AB  - Forager focus on wild cereal plants has been documented in the core zone of domestication in southwestern Asia, while evidence for forager use of wild grass grains remains sporadic elsewhere. In this paper, we present starch grain and phytolith analyses of dental calculus from 60 Mesolithic and Early Neolithic individuals from five sites in the Danube Gorges of the central Balkans. This zone was inhabited by likely complex Holocene foragers for several millennia before the appearance of the first farmers similar to 6200 cal BC. We also analyzed forager ground stone tools (GSTs) for evidence of plant processing. Our results based on the study of dental calculus show that certain species of Poaceae (species of the genus Aegi(ops) were used since the Early Mesolithic, while GSTs exhibit traces of a developed grass grain processing technology. The adoption of domesticated plants in this region after similar to 6500 cal BC might have been eased by the existing familiarity with wild cereals.

AB  - The authors present an early evidence for the use of complex fishing techniques for obtaining variable fish resources in prehistoric south-east Europe as recovered at the Neolithic site of Vinta Belo Brdo in Serbia. In particular, a group of bone artefacts have been analysed through the application of an integrated approach combining technological, use-wear, and residue analyses as well as the comparisons with ethnographic artefacts. The results of the functional analysis indicate that these artefacts were parts of lure hooks, i.e. composite hooks, probably used to catch large predatory fish. On methodological grounds, the discussion proposed in this paper could be relevant for other case studies worldwide where one finds prehistoric communities with evidence of fishing activities.
