Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Early human occupation in Sicily is explored through the Early Occupation of Sicily (EOS) project. Initial findings reveal new archaeological sites in southeastern Sicily, offering insights into early human dispersal and environments.

Area of Science:

  • Paleolithic Archaeology
  • Island Colonization Studies
  • European Prehistory

Background:

  • Sicily is a key region for understanding early human settlement in Europe during the Upper Paleolithic.
  • Previous research has primarily focused on northern Sicily, leaving southeastern Sicily underexplored.
  • The Early Occupation of Sicily (EOS) project aims to fill this gap.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate early human dispersal patterns to Mediterranean islands.
  • Reconstruct Late Pleistocene landscapes and environments in southeastern Sicily.
  • Identify and assess previously unstudied archaeological sites and materials.

Main Methods:

  • Terrestrial and underwater archaeological surveys.
  • Archival research and analysis of museum collections.

  • Paleo-environmental reconstruction through paleo-shoreline analysis.
  • Raw material sourcing to understand procurement patterns.

    • Main Results:

    • Relocated and assessed approximately 20 caves and rock shelters.
    • Identified three new potential Upper Paleolithic sites, two on land and one partially submerged.
    • Demonstrated the presence of unexplored archaeological sediments at one site using seismic tomography.

    Conclusions:

    • Southeastern Sicily holds significant potential for understanding early human occupation.
    • Re-examining understudied sites and materials can reveal crucial information on mobility and environmental impact.
    • The EOS project provides a foundation for future research on Sicily's earliest inhabitants.
