Bone retouchers and end-scrapers side by side at Bushman Rock Shelter
A growing body of archaeological data points towards distinct cultural innovations during Marine Isotopic Stage (MIS) 5 in Africa. At Bushman Rock Shelter in South Africa, we described previously a large corpus of end-scrapers that constitute a technological novelty in the context of MIS 5 developments. Here, we describe 25 bones with impressions collected from the same deposits. Middle Stone Age layers at the site represent a succession of disti…

Evidence from Tinshemet Cave in Israel suggests behavioural uniformity across Homo groups in the Levantine mid-Middle Palaeolithic circa 130,000-80,000 years ago
The south Levantine mid-Middle Palaeolithic (mid-MP; ~130-80 thousand years ago (ka)) is remarkable for its exceptional evidence of human morphological variability, with contemporaneous fossils of Homo sapiens and Neanderthal-like hominins. Yet, it remains unclear whether these hominins adhered to discrete behavioural sets or whether regional-scale intergroup interactions could have homogenized mid-MP behaviour. Here we report on our discoveries …

The Cultural and Chronostratigraphic Context of a New Leaf Point from Hohle Fels Cave in the Ach Valley of Southwestern Germany
During the summer of 2020 the excavation team at Hohle Fels Cave in the Ach Valley of southwestern Germany recovered a leaf point (in German Blattspitze) made from gray Jurassic chert. The find is well-preserved and remarkable for a number of reasons. First this is the only leaf point recovered by a modern excavation in the Swabian Jura, and is the first leaf point discovered in situ since 1936, when Gustav Riek’s crew recovered two well-preserve…
Middle Stone Age Bifacial Technology and Pressure Flaking at the MIS 3 Site of Toumboura III, Eastern Senegal

Luminescence dating estimates for the coastal MSA sequence of Hoedjiespunt 1 (South Africa)
A West African Middle Stone Age site dated to the beginning of MIS 5
The Ravin Blanc I archaeological occurrence, dated to MIS 5, provides unprecedented data on the Middle Stone Age (MSA) of West Africa since well-contextualized archaeological sites pre-dating MIS 4/3 are extremely rare for this region. The combined approach on geomorphology, phytolith analysis, and OSL date estimations offers a solid framework for the MSA industry comprised in the Ravin Blanc I sedimentary sequence. The paleoenvironmental reconst…
Experimentation preceding innovation in a MIS5 Pre-Still Bay layer from Diepkloof Rock Shelter (South Africa)
In southern Africa, key technologies and symbolic behaviors develop as early as the later Middle Stone Age in MIS5. These innovations arise independently in various places, contexts and forms, until their full expression during the Still Bay and the Howiesons Poort. The Middle Stone Age sequence from Diepkloof Rock Shelter, on the West Coast of the region, preserves archaeological proxies that help unravelling the cultural processes at work. This…

The Paleoenvironment and Lithic Taphonomy of S hi’ B at D ihya 1, a Middle Paleolithic Site in W adi S urdud, Y emen
The S hi'bat D ihya 1 site in western Y emen, dated by optically stimulated luminescence to 55 ka, provides insight into the M iddle P aleolithic peopling of the A rabian P eninsula. The archaeological layer is interstratified within thick, sandy silt floodplain deposits filling a piedmont basin. Luminescence dates, lack of soil development, and gypsum precipitation indicate a high accretion rate of the floodplain during M arine I sotope S tage 3…
Inland human settlement in southern Arabia 55,000 years ago. New evidence from the Wadi Surdud Middle Paleolithic site complex, western Yemen
Ounjougou (Pays dogon, Mali)
L’Afrique de l’Ouest est actuellement totalement absente des débats portant sur le Middle Stone Age. Si des sites de cette période y sont décrits de longue date, leur contexte stratigraphique est souvent incertain ou inexistant. Tant en Afrique australe qu’en Europe occidentale, les progrès dans la connaissance de ces périodes reposent largement sur la construction d’un cadre chronologique général, de préférence corrélé aux variations paléoclimat…
The emergence of pottery in Africa during the tenth millennium cal BC
New excavations in ravines at Ounjougou in Mali have brought to light a lithic and ceramic assemblage that dates from before 9400 cal BC. The authors show that this first use of pottery coincides with a warm wet period in the Sahara. As in East Asia, where very early ceramics are also known, the pottery and small bifacial arrowheads were the components of a new subsistence strategy exploiting an ecology associated with abundant wild grasses. In A…

Tl Dating of Burnt Lithics From Blombos Cave (South Africa)
This paper presents the first TL dates for burnt quartzites and silcretes from the Still Bay layers of Blombos Cave (South Africa). These layers contained engraved ochres and marine shell beads that could be an early manifestation of symbolic and thus ‘modern’ behaviour by the Middle Stone Age humans. The procedure devised to calculate the ages is presented in detail, particularly with regard to internal microdosimetry, because the problems faced…

A Ounjougou (Pays dogon, Mali), une séquence stratigraphique complexe est soumise, à la faveur d'une modification hydrographique locale, à une incision rapide du Yame et de ses affluents.

Chronologie des technofaciès Howieson's Poort et Still Bay (Middle Stone Age, Afrique du Sud)
Les chronologies du Still Bay et de l'Howieson's Poort sont débattues depuis maintenant trois décennies, car bien que ces technofaciès appartiennent au Middle Stone Age sud-africain, ils présentent d'une part des affinités avec ceux du Later Stone Age et d'autre part, sont associés à des artefacts qui refléteraient un comportement moderne. L'objectif de cet article est de dresser un bilan des diverses données chronologiques publiées pour ces tech…
