Investigating Olduvai: Archaeology of Human Origins
The evolution of human life history
Humans have an extended life history, involving long periods of growth and development, a late age at maturity, a long life span and an extensive female post-reproductive period. In contrast to this, human lactation length is short and energetically inexpensive when compared to lactation in the apes. Discussions of human life-history often focus on the energetic costs of large brain size. This paper argues that body size is an equally important l…

Cranial suture closure and its implications for age estimation
Three age estimation techniques using ectocranial and/or endocranial suture closure are tested on a sample of known age from Spitalfields, London in order to determine the value of cranial suture closure as an indicator of age at death. The three techniques are those proposed by Acsádi and Nemeskéri, Meindl and Lovejoy and Perizonius. Results indicate that the Acsádi and Nemeskéri technique, which is based on endocranial sutures, can be used to d…
