A strontium (87Sr/86Sr) isoscape of Southern Ethiopia: Implications for hominin land use and faunal mobility patterns
Open AccessSeminew Asrat, Francesco Lucchini et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Environmental…2025
Tracing human and animal mobility behavior, land use, and exploitation strategies through strontium (Sr) isotope analysis is critical for archaeological and palaeoecological research. The development of an 87 Sr/ 86 Sr bioavailable baseline map, often termed isoscape, is a prerequisite for interpreting the Sr isotope composition of animal and human remains from an archaeological context. Despite the wealth of archaeological records dispersed acro…
Rock art in the Borana Zone (southern Ethiopia), new perspectives from fieldwork
Tadele Solomon, Enza E Spinapolice et al.ARTICLEAnnales d Ethiopie2024
The African continent has many rock art concentrations with different traditions, techniques, and chronologies. A few areas have been widely investigated, while many other regions have been the object of patchy and sporadic research. This was the case in a large part of the eastern African region, where the research was intensive during the 1970s and 1980s. In particular, the area known as the Horn of Africa – including Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalil…
The Gotera Archaeological Mission in Southern Ethiopia: A preliminary field report on the ongoing research at the Middle Stone Age site of Gotera
Marianna Fusco, Seminew Asrat et al.ARTICLEAnnales d Ethiopie2024
The Middle Stone Age (MSA) of Eastern Africa plays an unprece-dented role in the general discussion on the emergence, bio-cultural development and dispersal of our species within and beyond Africa. Despite this, chronologically dated and archaeologically documented open-air sites dated to this region’s MSA period remain sparse. In the framework of the current debate about modern human origin and behavioral evolution, the “La Sapienza” University …

Hunting game: New data on the subsistence strategies during the Uluzzian in Italy
Open AccessSara Silvestrini, C Real et al.ARTICLEJournal of Archaeological Science…2024Cited by: 1References: 45
In this study we present the results of the archaeozoological and taphonomic analysis of the macromammal assemblage from the Uluzzian levels of three Italian sites: Uluzzo C Rock Shelter, Roccia San Sebastiano cave, and Riparo del Broion. Our archaeozoological data outlined several common elements and differences between sites sharing this culture. The most abundant taxon registered at Roccia San Sebastiano cave is Cervus elaphus; for Riparo del …
Time, the Middle Stone Age and lithic analyses following the Third Science Revolution
Open AccessLaura S Basell, Enza E SpinapoliceARTICLEAzania Archaeological Research in…2024Cited by: 6References: 84
This paper is a response to the conference session 'Generic MSA: fact or fiction?' held as part of the PanAfrican Association Conference in 2022 in Unguja, Tanzania.It questions the validity of the concept of a 'generic Middle Stone Age' and goes beyond the simple debate of terminology that has persisted for nearly 75 years.Instead, it uses this as a starting point to discuss the past, present and future of lithic analyses, including the history …
Lithic variability and raw material exploitation at the Middle Stone Age (MSA) site of Gotera, southern Ethiopia: A combined technological and quantitative approach
Open AccessMarianna Fusco, Elena Carletti et al.ARTICLEJournal of Lithic Studies2021Cited by: 4References: 29
Technological variability within East African Middle Stone Age (MSA) lithic assemblages is considered a reflection of regional or local identities. These identities are a possible outcome of different social dynamics in human populations or interaction with the environment. Here we analysed the lithic assemblage from GOT 1-S site, in the Gotera area (Southern Ethiopia) in order to integrate fresh data from the region into the broader discussion o…

An overview of Alpine and Mediterranean palaeogeography, terrestrial ecosystems and climate history during MIS 3 with focus on the Middle to Upper Palaeolithic transition
Federica Badino, Roberta Pini et al.PREPRINT2020References: 59
This paper summarizes the current state of knowledge about the millennial scale climate variability characterizing Marine Isotope Stage 3 (MIS 3) in S-Europe and the Mediterranean area and its effects on terrestrial ecosystems. The sequence of Dansgaard-Oeschger events, as recorded by Greenland ice cores and recognizable in isotope profiles from speleothems and high-resolution palaeoecological records, led to dramatic variations in glacier extent…

Early Human Occupation at al-Jamrab (White Nile Region, Central Sudan): A Contribution to the Understanding of the MSA of Eastern Africa
Enza E Spinapolice, Andrea Zerboni et al.ARTICLEJournal of African Archaeology2018Cited by: 5References: 22
The middle reaches of the Nile River play a key role in the current models about the diffusion of modern Humans out of Africa, nevertheless the Early and the Middle Stone Age (Early Palaeolithic and Middle Palaeolithic) in central Sudan are poorly known. On-going investigation at al-Jamrab (White Nile region) highlights the archaeological potential of the central Sudan and illustrates the importance of an integrated approach combining archaeologi…

La percussion sur enclume en Italie centrale Tyrrhénienne
Open AccessAmilcare Bietti, Emanuele Cancellieri et al.ARTICLEPaléo2010Cited by: 20References: 3
En Italie, sur la base de la littérature existante, la percussion sur enclume semble être présente dans des industries lithiques qui couvrent une période extrêmement longue, du début du Pléistocène moyen jusqu’à l’Holocène. Dans ce travail, nous allons essayer d’examiner en détail la présence et les caractéristiques de la percussion sur enclume dans quelques sites du Latium, certains moustériens, comme Grotta Guattari, Grotta Breuil et Grotta del…
