This volume provides a landscape narrative of early hominin evolution, linking conventional material and geographic aspects of the early archaeological record with wider and more elusive social, cognitive and symbolic landscapes. It seeks to move beyond a limiting notion of early hominin culture and behaviour as dictated solely by the environment to present the early hominin world as the outcome of a dynamic dialogue between the physical environment and its perception and habitation by active agents. This international group of contributors presents theoretically informed yet empirically based perspectives on hominin and human landscapes

Thirty years ago, in a paper entitled “Interaction and Alliance in Palaeo…

At the Heart of the AfricanAcheulean
The Kilombe sites and their place in the Acheulean. Kilombe is one of a series of great Acheulean site complexes in eastern Africa.
