What Can Lithics Tell Us About Dispersals
Since the emergence of prehistory as a field of study, lithic artefacts have been invoked as markers of past human dispersals. However, the meaning of similarities between artefact types and lithic assemblages as a whole is complex, leading to recurring debates surrounding population dispersals and local innovations. Taking North‐Eastern Africa as a case study, this article reviews the history of ‘diffusion‐convergence’ debates in the region and …
The Last Glacial Maximum in the Tropics
The world at 18,000 BP , published by Gamble and Soffer (The world at 18,000 BP. Vol. 2: low latitude, Unwin Hyman, 1990), represents the first, and so far the only, attempt at characterising and discussing the impact of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) on human societies on a global scale. At the time, they highlighted that research and data on the LGM in southern latitudes and the tropics in particular were scant. Since 1990, however, many sites …
Rock art in the Borana Zone (southern Ethiopia), new perspectives from fieldwork
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…
Raw-material exploitation in the Earlier and Middle Stone Age in the Eastern Desert of Egypt
Despite its key role in out-of-Africa hominin dispersals, little is known about Pleistocene human occupation of north-eastern Africa outside the Nile Valley and desert oases. A survey in Wadi Abu Subeira aims to help fill this gap and attests to the repeated occupation of the Eastern Desert during the Pleistocene

New technological considerations on some Lupemban museum collections from the Congo Basin
Replicability in Lithic Analysis
The ubiquity and durability of lithic artifacts inform archaeologists about important dimensions of human behavioral variability. Despite their importance, lithic artifacts can be problematic to study because lithic analysts differ widely in their theoretical approaches and the data they collect. The extent to which differences in lithic data relate to prehistoric behavioral variability or differences between archaeologists today remains incomple…

Potential of a large-scale functional analysis to reconstructing past human activities at the Final Palaeolithic site of Lommel-Maatheide
A recommendation of: Sonja Tomasso, Dries Cnuts, Justin Coppe, Marijn Van Gils, Ferdi Geerts, Marc De Bie, Veerle Rots A closer look at an eroded dune landscape: first functional insights into the Federmessergruppen site of Lommel-Maatheide https://doi.org/10.31219/osf.io/pf3sm
Event review
A selection of papers presented at the Special Session 8 ‘Using multivariate analyses to interpret lithic variability: Contributions and limitations’ held during the 2018 MetroArchaeo conference (22-24 October 2018, Cassino, Italy) is published in the Journal of Lithic Studies. Multivariate statistical analyses are increasingly used to discern patterns of variability in archaeological materials and help with their interpretation. Commonly used on…
Northeastern African Stone Age
Research on the northeastern African Stone Age is intrinsically linked to the study of human occupation along the Nile, which flows north through the now hyper-arid eastern Sahara to meet the Mediterranean, forming a natural route toward the Sinai Peninsula. Since this is the only land bridge between Africa and Eurasia, the region is often referred to as a “corridor,” with the hypothesis that the Nile Valley may have repeatedly acted as a possibl…
Investigating the opportunistic debitage – an experimental approach

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…
Backed Pieces and Their Variability in the Later Stone Age of the Horn of Africa
Not just a corridor. Human occupation of the Nile Valley and neighbouring regions between 75,000 and 15,000 years ago
The end of the Pleistocene (~75-15 ka) is a key period for the prehistory of the Nile Valley. The climatic fluctuations documented during this period have led human populations from the Middle and Late Palaeolithic to adapt to a changing Nile. In particular, the global shift to more arid conditions regionally translated into the expansion of the Sahara, the lowering of sea levels and the desiccation of some major eastern African lakes. These clim…

Terminal Pleistocene lithic variability in the Western Negev (Israel)
At the end of the Pleistocene (25,000-15,000 BP), there is a shift to more arid conditions in the Negev and the Sinai corresponding to the Last Glacial Maximum. For the Nile Valley and the Levant, the lowering of the Mediterranean sea level, the expansion of the Sahara and the desiccation of some major eastern African lakes had important consequences on: (1) the general behaviour of the River Nile; (2) the landscape around the Nile Delta; and (3)…
Late Pleistocene and Holocene Lithic Variability at Goda Buticha (Southeastern Ethiopia)
s The Late Pleistocene is a key period to understand the shift from the Middle ( msa ) to the Late Stone Age ( lsa ) in Africa. More generally, it is also a crucial time for elucidation of changes in the technological behaviours of human populations in Africa after the main Out of Africa event of modern humans ca. 60-50 thousand years ago. However, the archaeological record for this period is relatively poor, particularly for the Horn of Africa. …
