Évolution des hominines dans les paysages changeants du Rift Est Africain
En Afrique orientale, la période de transition Pliocène-Pléistocène est remarquable du point de vue paléoanthropologique puisqu’elle correspond à la fois à plusieurs évènements majeurs : 1) la disparition des australopithèques et l’apparition des genres Homo et Paranthropus, et 2) la première expansion des hominines en Eurasie peu après. Cependant, la compréhension des modalités de dispersion et de diversification des hominines africains bute sur…
Phytoliths indicate significant arboreal cover at Sahelanthropus type locality TM266 in northern Chad and a decrease in later sites
Starch granules identification and automatic classification based on an extended set of morphometric and optical measurements
Grass inflorescence phytoliths of useful species and wild cereals from sub-Saharan Africa
Vegetation of Northern Tanzania during the Plio-Pleistocene
Geo-archaeological and geometrically corrected reconstruction of the 1.84 Ma FLK Zinj paleolandscape at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
The European Modern Pollen Database (EMPD) project
Paleoclimatic and paleoenvironmental framework of FLK North archaeological site, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
Autochthony and orientation patterns in Olduvai Bed I
Paleoenvironmental and paleoecological reconstruction of a freshwater oasis in savannah grassland at FLK North, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
The records of early hominins are commonly localized both temporally and spatially even in archaeologically rich basins like Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. The FLK North site was discovered in 1960, but the reason for the exact location of this dense concentration of fossils and stone tools on a lake-margin flat has not been explained. We present new geological and geochemical information from six excavations in upper Bed I, which revealed up to 1.4-m-…
A spring and wooded habitat at FLK Zinj and their relevance to origins of human behavior
The 1959 discovery of the hominin fossil Zinjanthropus boisei brought the world's attention to the rich records at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. Subsequent excavations of archaeological level 22 (FLK Zinj) Bed I uncovered remains of Homo habilis and a high-density collection of fossils and Oldowan stone tools. The occurrence of this unusual collection of bones and tools at this specific location has been controversial for decades. We present paleoecol…
Disentangling hominin and carnivore activities near a spring at FLK North (Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania)
FLK North is one of the densest concentrations of fossils found in Olduvai Gorge. A recent taphonomic re-evaluation of the collection excavated by Leakey at the site suggests that it was a palimpsest in which most of the animals were accumulated and modified by carnivores. The lithic tools therefore seem to have an independent depositional history from most of the fauna. The present study, based on new excavations, expands the evidence supporting…
New excavations at the FLK Zinjanthropus site and its surrounding landscape and their behavioral implications
Renewed excavations at FLK Zinj and its surrounding landscape have yielded valuable information regarding its paleoecological situation and the prehistoric behavioral function of the site. The density of materials at the main cluster of the site excavated by Leakey contrasts with the bone and lithic scatters surrounding the site. The location of FLK Zinj, situated a few hundred meters away from a freshwater spring, would have enabled hominins acc…
Phytoliths infer locally dense and heterogeneous paleovegetation at FLK North and surrounding localities during upper Bed I time, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania
The phytolith content of 10 samples collected immediately under Tuff IF (~ 1.785 Ma) at FLK N and other surrounding localities (~ 2 km2) provides a direct botanical evidence for woody vegetation in the eastern margin of Olduvai Gorge during uppermost Bed I time. Observation and counting of 143 phytolith types (5 to >150 μ) reveal dense but heterogeneous woody cover (~ 40–90%) of unidentified trees and/or shrubs and palms associated to the freshwa…
