Zoogeographic significance of Dmanisi large mammal assemblage

Saverio Bartolini-Lucenti et al.

Summary: This study compares the zoogeographic distribution of mammal assemblages to reveal similarities between the Dmanisi Early Pleistocene large mammal community and similar-aged sites in Africa, Arabia, and Eurasia. The analysis suggests a progressive dispersal of large mammal communities from east to west during the late Early Pleistocene, with Dmanisi showing the closest resemblance to certain locations in Greece, Italy, and Spain. The habitats at Dmanisi consisted of drier areas, likely open wooded savannah and grassland, as well as mountainous to semiarid rocky terrain.

New paleoecological inferences based on the Early Pleistocene amphibian and reptile assemblage from Dmanisi (Georgia, Lesser Caucasus)

Hugues-Alexandre Blain et al.

Summary: Dmanisi (Georgia) is an important Early Paleolithic site outside of Africa that provides valuable insights into the first Homo deme out of Africa and the earliest hominin occupation of Central to Western Eurasia. This study uses a enhanced methodology to reconstruct the paleoclimate of Dmanisi, revealing a warm and semi-arid climate similar to the present-day Mediterranean climate, with warmer temperatures and slightly higher but more irregular rainfall than previously estimated.

A comparative study of the Early Pleistocene carnivore guild from Dmanisi (Georgia)

Saverio Bartolini-Lucenti et al.

Summary: The carnivore guild of the Early Pleistocene site of Dmanisi is highly similar to the late Villafranchian sites in Europe but shows less resemblance to African or Asian assemblages.

An ancient cranium from Dmanisi: Evidence for interpersonal violence, disease, and possible predation by carnivores on Early Pleistocene Homo

Ann Margvelashvili et al.

Summary: The well-preserved individuals from Dmanisi provide insights into early Homo populations. A case study of the D2280 adult cranium reveals four oval-shaped lesions, possibly caused by trauma, cysts, cancer, or infectious disease. One lesion is likely the result of a traumatic injury, while two others may be attributed to blunt force trauma. Furthermore, the location and structure of a lesion on the frontal bone suggest a possible diagnosis of treponemal disease.

Life and death at Dmanisi, Georgia: Taphonomic signals from the fossil mammals

Martha Tappen et al.

Summary: Dmanisi in Georgia is a rare Early Pleistocene site in Eurasia. The study provides information on site formation and the interaction between early hominins and fauna. The fossil analysis suggests increased meat-eating and interactions with carnivores and other animals.

Early Pleistocene stratigraphy, sedimentary environments, and formation contexts at Dmanisi in the Georgian Caucasus

Reid Ferring et al.

Summary: The Early Pleistocene site of Dmanisi has a significant importance in understanding the activities and environmental contexts during the first colonization of Eurasia. The geological record at Dmanisi reveals distinct sedimentary environments and provides a rich collection of in situ deposits and occupation remains.

The Dmanisi Equus: Systematics, biogeography, and paleoecology

Raymond L. Bernor et al.

Summary: The Equus datum marks the migration of a North American Equus species into Eurasia at the start of the Pleistocene. This was followed by a radiation of Equus across Eurasia and Africa. Analyzing the remains from Dmanisi, it was found that E. stenonis shares similarities with European populations, while E. altidens represents the oldest occurrence in Western Eurasia with a westward expansion. The morphologies of the Dmanisi samples resemble modern hemiones and zebras.
