متن کاملEvolution and Stability in the Middle Paleolithic and Middle Stone Age
The Acheulean to Middle Stone Age (MSA) transition is examined from an evolutionary perspective. The replacement of Acheulean handaxes by MSA points represents a shift from hand-held to hafted technology, but the timing and nature of this process are poorly understood due to the rarity of sites from the early MSA (EMSA), here defined as the portion of the MSA predating 130,000 years ago. The we...
متن کاملSibudu Cave, KwaZulu-Natal: Background to the excavations of Middle Stone Age and Iron Age occupations
