Evidence for discrete ochre exploitation 35,000 years ago in West Africa
International audience
New Insights on the Palaeo-archaeological Potential of the Niokolo-Koba National Park, Senegal
The study of the Palaeolithic in Senegal has made considerable progress in the last decade and has provided a renewed vision of the behavioral evolution of prehistoric populations in West Africa. The cultural trajectories within the region seem to be highly variable and bear witness to strong behavioral dynamics, the mechanisms of which still need to be better understood. However, the number of reliable, dated, and stratified sites, as well as th…
Replicability in Lithic Analysis
The ubiquity and durability of lithic artifacts inform archaeologists about important dimensions of human behavioral variability. Despite their importance, lithic artifacts can be problematic to study because lithic analysts differ widely in their theoretical approaches and the data they collect. The extent to which differences in lithic data relate to prehistoric behavioral variability or differences between archaeologists today remains incomple…
Middle Stone Age Bifacial Technology and Pressure Flaking at the MIS 3 Site of Toumboura III, Eastern Senegal
The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10437-021-09463-5
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…
Technology and Function of Middle Stone Age Points. Insights from a Combined Approach at Bushman Rock Shelter, South Africa
Comparative analysis of Middle Stone Age artifacts in Africa (CoMSAfrica)
The pattern of emergence of a Middle Stone Age tradition at Gademotta and Kulkuletti (Ethiopia) through convergent tool and point technologies
Changing environments and movements through transitions
The Hargeisan revisited
Late Stone Age variability in the Main Ethiopian Rift
Klipdrift Shelter, southern Cape, South Africa
Prehistory of the Central Main Ethiopian Rift (Ziway-Shala basin)
International audience
Archéologie préhistorique de la partie centrale du Main Ethiopian Rift
Prehistory of the Central Main Ethiopian Rift (Ziway-Shala basin) : Establishing the Late Stone Age sequence in Eastern Africa Supported by the CFEE, ARCCH, MAEE, INRAP and the laboratory TRACES, this project, " Late Stone Age sequence in Ethiopia", is devoted to the collection of new data on the late prehistory of the Horn of Africa. To answer to this objective, several fieldwork seasons have been carried out since 2007 in the area of lakes Ziwa…
A new chrono-cultural marker for the early Middle Stone Age in Ethiopia
L’Afrique de l’Est dans la réflexion globale sur le Middle Stone Age
Eastern Africa in the general reflection on the Middle Stone Age ; The main research topics on the Middle Stone Age are the discovery of the earliest known Homo sapiens in eastern Africa and the early occurrence of symbolic remains throughout the continent. This paper presents the theoretical controversies about the emergence of a behavioral modernity and the contribution of eastern Africa to this debate. A historical background on the constructi…
