Application of the Chaîne Opératoire and Techno-functional Approaches To Oldowan Cores and Retouched Pieces from Swartkrans and Sterkfontein, South Africa
While Oldowan technology cannot be divorced from its ecological contexts, examining its socio-cultural scaffolding remains an important endeavor for developing a holistic perspective towards its evolutionary significance. Methods from the chaîne opératoire and techno-functional approaches have been adapted and applied to various Earlier Stone Age or Early Paleolithic assemblages to understand their cognitive and technical implications. However, i…
What can lithics tell us about anthropological archaeology's grand challenges
Continuité technologique lithique dans la grotte de Youmbidi, Gabon, à l’Holocène récent
Alors que l’expansion bantoue est au cœur des recherches sur l’Holocène récent de l’Afrique centrale, l’impact de ce phénomène migratoire sur les populations de chasseurs-cueilleurs reste totalement inconnu du point de vue archéologique. Le développement d’une archéologie du contact entre ces populations aux modes de subsistances et aux technologies différentes est tout à fait nécessaire à la connaissance de l’évolution des interactions culturell…
New technological considerations on some Lupemban museum collections from the Congo Basin
Technological analysis of the Baboungué collections, Central African Republic
Le core-axe, un outil tropical à redéfinir
West African Acheulean
Although the data are incomplete, the Acheulean seems to occupy the longest share of the prehistoric period of West Africa. Whereas some sites suggest the arrival of the first hominids beginning in the Early Pleistocene, the majority of the Acheulean sites show evidence of activity throughout almost the entirety of the Mid-Pleistocene. From the Sahel to tropical forests, numerous valleys in nearly every West African country have offered up lithic…
The Paleolithic of northwestern Zagros. 2012–2019 MAFGS Survey
Prepared core technology from the Early Pleistocene site of Nyabusosi 18, Uganda
An overview of stranded cetacean scavenging in Atlantic southern Africa since the Earlier Stone Age
Along the southern African coastal plain, human occupation is documented since the end of the Early Pleistocene. The archaeological, palaeoenvironemental and ethnographic records suggest that in these arid to semi-arid landscapes where inland resources are sometimes scarce, coastal zones were attractive to past human populations. Among the intertidal resources, stranded marine mammals are known to have been sporadically available from several mil…
L’assemblage lithique du site Acheuléen de Namib IV (Namib central, Namibie)
Technological analysis of the quartz industry of Maboué 5 – Layer 3 (Lopé National Park, Gabon)
Using morphometrics to reappraise old collections
Despite its strategic location within the continent, Central Africa is rarely integrated into the reconstruction of population dynamics during the Middle Stone Age (MSA) of Africa, especially in terms of the emergence, diffusion and behavioural patterns of Homo sapiens. However, hundreds of sites have been discovered in Central Africa during the 20th century and attributed to the Lupemban, one of the main MSA technological complexes of the region…
Le Middle Stone Age dans le bassin du Congo. Un regard historiographique
Alors qu’une grande partie du continent africain révèle d’importants vestiges du Middle Stone Age témoignant de l’émergence et de la diffusion d’Homo sapiens sur le continent dès le Pléistocène moyen, les connaissances sur le rôle du bassin du Congo dans les dynamiques de peuplement continentales et régionales restent pauvres. La rare préservation des vestiges osseux et de la stratigraphie sur les sites pléistocènes de plein air est souvent consi…
