The new field of primate archaeology investigates the technological behavior and material record nonhuman primates, providing valuable comparative data on our understanding human evolution. Yet, paralleling hominin archaeology, is largely biased toward analysis lithic artifacts. While have been gained through an examination extant tool use its archaeological record, focusing this one single aspect provides limited insights. It therefore necessary to explore what extent other non-technological activities, such as non-tool aided feeding, traveling, social behaviors or ritual displays, leave traces that could be detected in record. Here we propose four areas investigation which believe overlooked by are crucial uncovering full potential behavioral repertoire, including own: (1) Plant technology; (2) Archaeology beyond (3) Landscape archaeology; (4) Primate cultural heritage. We discuss each theme context latest developments challenges, well future directions. Developing a more "inclusive" will not only benefit study evolution own right but aid conservation efforts increasing changes primate-environment interactions over time.

Abstract Ecology is fundamental in the development, transmission, and perpetuity of primate technology. Previous studies on tool site selection have addressed relevance targeted resources raw materials for tools, but few considered broader foraging landscape. In this landscape-scale study ecological contexts wild chimpanzee ( Pan troglodytes verus ) use, we investigated conditions required nut-cracking to occur persist discrete locations at long-term field Bossou, Guinea. We examined three levels: selection, frequency inactivity. collected data plant foods, nut trees, using transect quadrat methods, conducted forest-wide surveys map location nests watercourses. analysed level n = 82) generalised linear models descriptive statistics. found that, further presence a tree availability materials, abundance food-providing trees as well proximity nest sites were significant predictors occurrence. This suggests that spatial distribution mediated by behavioural landscape influenced non-extractive perennial non-foraging activities. Additionally, number functional tools was greater with higher frequency, negatively correlated Our research indicates technological Bossou chimpanzees shares affinities ‘favoured places’ model hominin formation, providing comparative framework reconstructing patterns ancient human behaviour.
