The Palaeolithic Research Department of the RGZM is situated at Monrepos Castle near

Neuwied in the Central Rhineland of Germany. The Institute examines the historical processes of

the evolution of hominin behaviour through the contextualized and interdisciplinary study of

Pleistocene and early Holocene material remains. We follow a hierarchically-structured research

strategy. The strategy constitutes the interface between chronology and chorology, adaptive

strategies and social networks and provides the synergies necessary for understanding the

process of becoming human.

Our research currently focuses on 3 main topics:

·

Hominin behavioural strategies in interglacial Environments

·

Hominin diet

·

Implementation and organisation of social units in the Upper Palaeolithic, Late

Palaeolithic and Mesolithic

Department languages are German and English.
