The later Pleistocene archaeological record of southernmost Africa encompasses several Middle Stone Age industries and the transition to the Later Stone Age. Through this period various signs of complex human behaviour appear episodically, including elaborate lithic technologies, osseous technologies, ornaments, motifs and abstract designs. Here we explore the regional archaeological record usi...

The Palaeolithic sequence from Sodmein Cave in the Egyptian Eastern Desert, near Quseir, contains seven stratified archaeological levels from the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic. The lowest archaeological level (Middle Palaeolithic level 5) consists of huge fireplaces associated with a lithic assemblage in which Nubian Levallois technology and bifacial tools are present. From this level, six frag...

Endometrial carcinoma is the most frequent genital tract malignancy. The first symptom (guidesymptom) is usually metrorrhagia; however, in around 10% of cases it is not. In contrast, osseous metastases are infrequent in endometrial cancer. The bones of the pelvis and lower extremities are those most frequently involved in disseminated metastatic diseases. In these cases, endometrial cancer is u...

Abstract Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania) is a key site for the study of human evolution as well origin modern humans and Middle Stone Age (MSA). In this study, we present new MSA location named Dorothy Garrod Site (DGS), found in main branch Gorge. The has only one archaeological level, located stratigraphically Upper Ndutu. Although it not yet been possible to radiometrically date it, yielded numerou...

Recent research suggests that variation exists among and between Oldowan stone tool assemblages. Oldowan variation might represent differential constraints on raw materials used to produce these stone implements. Alternatively, variation among Oldowan assemblages could represent different methods that Oldowan producing hominins utilized to produce these lithic implements. Identifying differenti...
