  • Spears, Style, and Time among Maa-Speaking Pastoralists

    Roy LarickCHAPTERAfrican Military History2017

    Samburu pastoralists change the style of their weapons at a rate too regular to be explained by factors of utilitarian use or random change. Samburu pastoralists stand out for their continued use of hand-foraged steel weapons even though enemies with firearms have surrounded them for many years. For convenience, the approximately 60,000 currently indigenous residents are termed Samburu "pastoralists". They are considered part of a larger Maa-spea…

  • Retracted

    Open AccessRoy Larick, Russell L CiochonARTICLEEvolutionary Anthropology Issues…2015

    Island Southeast Asia covers Eurasia's tropical expanse of continental shelf and active subduction zones. Cutting between island landmasses, Wallace's Line separates Sunda and the Eastern Island Arc (the Arc) into distinct tectonic and faunal provinces. West of the line, on Sunda, Java Island yields many fossils of Homo erectus. East of the line, on the Arc, Flores Island provides one skeleton and isolated remains of Homo floresiensis. Luzon Isla…

  • The Early Palaeolithic of Southeast Asia

    Roy Larick, Russell L Ciochon et al.CHAPTERCambridge World Prehistory 3…2014

    Southeast Asia is the warm, humid corner of the Eurasian landmass (Map 1.21.1). The region lies east of the Indian Subcontinent and, essentially, south of China. It covers the Indonesian and Philippine archipelagos as well as the Malay and Indochina peninsulas. Herein the northern border is the Tropic of Cancer (23.3 o N). The region has a generally tropical, rainy climate with the wet monsoon dominating the annual cycle. Current political distin…

    The Sangiran dome is the primary stratigraphic window for the Plio-Pleistocene deposits of the Solo basin of Central Jawa. The dome has yielded nearly 80 Homo erectus fossils, around 50 of which have known findspots. With a hornblende 40 Ar/ 39 Ar plateau age of 1.66 ± 0.04 mega-annum (Ma) reportedly associated with two fossils [Swisher, C.C., III, Curtis, G. H., Jacob, T., Getty, A.

  • Age grading and ethnicity in the style of Loikop (Samburu) spears

    Roy LarickARTICLEWorld Archaeology1986Cited by: 27References: 8

    Social relationships among cattle pastoralists of northern Kenya are often expressed in the style of their material culture. Most obviously, the size and shape of weapons carried by herding males mark ethnic distance among several groups. However, the stylistic traits of ethnicity also seem to differentiate social categories based on age within ethnic groups. This paper examines how the age grading of successive generations of male Loikop (Sambur…
