The emergence of pottery in Africa during the tenth millennium cal BC: New evidence from Ounjougou (Mali)
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…
Ounjougou (Mali): A history of holocene settlement at the southern edge of the Sahara
The area of Ounjougou consists of a series of gullies cut through Upper Pleistocene and Holocene formations on the Dogon Plateau in the Sahel at the south edge of the Sahara Desert. Here the authors have chronicled a stratified sequence of human occupation from the tenth to the second millennium BC, recording natural and anthropogenic strata containing artefacts and micro- and macro- palaeoecological remains, mostly in an excellent state of prese…
To the symmetry of the human midface
A new measuring instrument called "zygometer" is introduced. This device provides a simple technique for measuring the position of the zygomatic bone and arch allowing for lateral comparison. Standard measurements of the midface were collected from 250 uninjured test subjects. In 80% of the cases a symmetry of up to 2 mm was determined. The research results are presented and discussed with reference to clinical application.
