Figure 1
Geographic origins of Paleolithic shelter sites in the three Mediterranean faunal series: (1) western coast of Italy, with 16 assemblages; (2) Wadi Meged, inland Galilee of Israel, 9 assemblages; (3) Hatay coast of south-central Turkey, 7 assemblages.
Figure 2
Figure 2
Evenness in the representation of Linnean genera for the faunal series from Italy (●), Israel (▾), and Turkey (▴), by using the Reciprocal of Simpson's Index (20 = most even). Time is expressed on a logged scale, as are oxygen isotope climate cycles (41); c, cold stage; w, warm stage.
Figure 3
Figure 3
Evenness among three prey categories within the small game fraction only, based on prey defense mechanisms (slow game, quick-running terrestrial mammals, and quick-flying birds), by using the Reciprocal of Simpson's Index (3 = most even). Symbols as in Fig. 2.

Figure 4
(a) Trends by region (lines) in the percentage of slow small prey within the small game fraction of each assemblage; is, Israel; it, Italy; and tu, Turkey. (b) The percentage of ungulate remains in the total count of each assemblage.
