“…The San Cosimato Formation corresponds indeed to the San Paolo Formation and correlates with MIS 11 (440-410 ka, Fig. 3), in good agreement with the attribution of the faunal assemblage to the Fontana Ranuccio FU (based on the LF of Fontana Ranuccio, which has a lower boundary at 458 ka; Cassoli and Segre Naldini, 1993;Palombo et al, 2002;Segre Naldini et al, 2009 and references therein).…”

“…The site was located on the shores of a river, and the local humidity, highlighted by the sedimentary filling, could have favoured the persistence of forested communities and consequent diversity of exploitable environments. Thus, to date, no other site apart from Guado San Nicola has clearly presented evidence of long-lived occupation through several climate phases, although potential taphonomical processes could have occurred (Coltordi et al, 1982;Radmilli and Boschian, 1996;Piperno, 1999;Palombo and Sardella, 2007;Rufo et al, 2009;Segre Naldini et al, 2009;Boschian and Saccà, 2010;Manzi et al, 2011;Anzidei et al, 2012). However, the Venosa Basin sites witnessed several phases of occupation.…”

Hominin responses to environmental changes during the Middle Pleistocene in central and southern Italy

The palaeobotanical record of early Palaeolithic sites from Western Europe indicates that hominins settled in different kinds of environments. During the "Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT)", from about 1 to 0.6 Ma, the transition from 41-ka to 100-ka dominant climatic oscillations, occurring within a long-term cooling trend, was associated with an aridity crisis which strongly modified the ecosystems. Starting from the MPT the more favorable climate of central and southern Italy provided propitious environmental conditions for long-term human occupations even during the glacial times. In fact, the human strategy of territory occupation was certainly driven by the availabilities of resources. Prehistoric sites such as Notarchirico (ca. 680–600 ka), La Pineta (ca. 600–620 ka), Gaudo San Nicola (ca. 380–350 ka) or Ceprano (ca. 345–355 ka) testify to a preferential occupation of the central and southern Apennines valleys during interglacial phases, while later interglacial occupations were oriented towards the coastal plains, as attested by the numerous settlements of the Roma basin (ca. 300 ka). Faunal remains indicate that human subsistence behaviors benefited of a diversity of exploitable ecosystems, from semi-open to closed environments. In central and southern Italy, several palynological records have already illustrated the regional and local scale vegetation dynamic trends. During the Middle Pleistocene climate cycles, mixed mesophytic forests developed during the interglacial periods and withdrew in response to increasing aridity during the glacial episodes. New pollen data from the Boiano basin (Molise, Italy), attest to the evolution of vegetation and climate between OIS 13 and 9 (ca. 500 to 300 ka). In this basin, the persistence of high edaphic humidity, even during the glacial phases, could have favored the establishment of a refuge area for the arboreal flora and provided subsistence resources for the animal and hominin communities during the Middle Pleistocene. This could have constrained human groups to migrate into such a propitious area. Regarding to the local climate evolution during the glacial episodes, the supposed displacement from these sites could be linked to the environmental dynamics solely due to the aridity increase rather than directly to the global climate changes
