    This article notes that stone artefacts often provide the only means for identifying sites, reconstructing behaviour and determining cultural affiliation in West and Central Africa. For the period covering the end of the Pleistocene and early Holocene, lithic industries can be grouped into two broad technological traditions, the Lupemban–Tshitolian assemblages and microlithic quartz industries. Even if different human populations would leave diff…

  • Natural and Cultural Spatial Patterning in the Late Holocene Deposits of Shum Laka Rock Shelter, Cameroon

    Philippe Lavachery, Els CornelissenARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2000Cited by: 6References: 11

    Rock shelters, often containing thick accumulations of cultural debris from repeated occupation, are the most informative archaeological sites in the forest zone of west Africa. They are, however, frequently disturbed by human and natural processes. Extensive excavations at Shum Laka rock shelter yielded a long cultural sequence for the Grassfields in NW Cameroon. The topmost, Late Holocene deposits, are analyzed for natural and cultural spatial …

  • A Middle Stone Age Worked Bone Industry from Katanda, Upper Semliki Valley, Zaire

    Open AccessJ E Yellen, Alison S Brooks et al.ARTICLEScience1995

    Three archaeological sites at Katanda on the Upper Semliki River in the Western Rift Valley of Zaire have provided evidence for a well-developed bone industry in a Middle Stone Age context. Artifacts include both barbed and unbarbed points as well as a daggerlike object. Dating by both direct and indirect means indicate an age of approximately 90,000 years or older. Together with abundant fish (primarily catfish) remains, the bone technology indi…
