ABSTRACTIn southern Africa, the Howiesons Poort is one of the earliest technocomplexes in which small blades and bladelets were systematically produced and retouched into formal tools. While the presence of small lithic artefacts in an assemblage is well-documented, little is known about production pathways. This paper reports on the analysis of the lithic assemblage from Horizon 6/7 of Charles Keller’s excavations of Montagu Cave, South Africa, to evaluate how raw material and decision-making affects the size of stone tools in Howiesons Poort assemblages. It addresses the following questions: how were small blades produced? Was it a deliberate choice or a constraint imposed by raw material availability? Results show branching modes of production for large and small blanks beginning with raw material acquisition. The independent production of small blanks is reinforced by the presence of cores on flakes in the assemblage. However, a relatively standardised core reduction process was used consistently, regardless of core size. The main technological and typological features observed in Horizon 6/7 are in line with other known Howiesons Poort assemblages. Considered as a whole, these observations highlight the consistency of Howiesons Poort blade technology and the deliberate production of small blanks and tools.RÉSUMÉEn Afrique méridionale, le Howiesons Poort est l’un des premiers complexes technologiques dans lequel de petites lames et lamelles furent systématiquement produites et retouchées pour en faire des outils formels. Bien que la présence de petits objets lithiques dans un assemblage soit bien documentée, on sait peu de choses sur les voies de production. Cet article présente les résultats de l’analyse de l’assemblage lithique de l’Horizon 6/7 des fouilles de Charles Keller dans la grotte de Montagu, en Afrique du Sud, afin d’évaluer comment les matières premières et la prise de décisions affectèrent la grandeur des outils en pierre dans les assemblages Howiesons Poort. L’étude répond à deux questions: comment les petites lames étaient-elles produites? Et leur fabrication était-elle un choix délibéré ou une contrainte imposée par la disponibilité des matières premières? Les résultats démontrent des modes de production diversifiés pour les grandes et petites ébauches, en commençant par l’acquisition des matières premières. La production indépendante de petites ébauches est renforcée par la présence de nucléus sur éclats dans l’assemblage. Cependant, un processus de réduction des nucléus relativement standardisés a été systématiquement utilisé, quelle que soit leur taille. Les principales caractéristiques technologiques et typologiques observées dans l’Horizon 6/7 sont conformes à celles d’autres assemblages Howiesons Poort connus. Considérées dans leur ensemble, ces observations mettent en évidence la cohérence dans la technologie des lames Howiesons Poort, et la production délibérée d’ébauches et d’outils de petite taille.KEYWORDS: Howieso
在非洲南部,Howiesons港口是最早的技术综合体之一,在那里,小刀片和叶片被系统地生产并修饰成正式的工具。虽然在一个组合中存在小的石器人工制品是有据可查的,但对生产途径知之甚少。本文对Charles Keller在南非蒙塔古洞穴(Montagu Cave)发掘的第6/7层地层的石器组合进行了分析,以评估原材料和决策对Howiesons Poort组合中石器大小的影响。它解决了以下问题:小叶片是如何生产的?这是一个深思熟虑的选择,还是受制于原材料的供应?结果表明,从原料获取开始,大毛坯和小毛坯的生产模式出现了分支。独立生产的小毛坯是加强了存在芯片在组装。然而,无论岩心大小如何,始终使用相对标准化的岩心还原过程。在地平线6/7中观察到的主要技术和类型特征与其他已知的Howiesons Poort组合一致。从整体上看,这些观察结果突出了Howiesons Poort刀片技术和故意生产小毛坯和工具的一致性。RÉSUMÉEn非洲人的薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金薪金。在生产过程中,由于选择的不同而产生的不同,因此,在生产过程中,由于选择的不同而产生的不同。这篇文章描述了在地平线上的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1>交换器和<s:1> <s:1> <s:1>交换器、在南非洲的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1>交换器、在蒙塔古的洞穴里的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1>交换器和在陆地上的<s:1> <s:1>交换器和在陆地上的<s:1> <s:1>交换器、在陆地上的<s:1>交换器和在陆地上的<s:1>交换器、在陆地上的<s:1>交换器和在陆地上的<s:1>交换器、在陆地上的<s:1>交换器、在陆地上的<s:1>交换器和在陆地上的<s:1>交换器。问题:关于小女孩的评论,小女孩的评论,小女孩的评论?让我们来了解一下,是否存在“制造和选择”的问题,即是否存在“不可推卸的和不可推卸的”的问题。从生产方式多样化的角度看,从大的角度看,从小的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,从大的角度看,小的、小的、变的、变的、变的、变的、变的、变的、变的、变的。在此基础上,<s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -《关于人格特质的原则》、《关于技术与类型学的观察》、《关于地平线6/7》、《关于人格特质的理论》、《关于人格特质的理论》、《关于人格特质的理论》、《关于人格特质的理论》、《关于人格特质的理论》。综上所述,综上所述,观察结果表明,在生产过程中,<s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1>和<s:1> <s:1> <s:1>和(或)生产过程中,<s:1> <s:1>和(或)生产过程中,<s:1>和(或)生产过程中,<s:1>和(或)生产过程。我们要感谢蒂姆·怀特和约什·卡尔森在加州大学伯克利分校人类进化研究中心提供的材料援助,以及莱斯利·怀特在菲比·赫斯特人类学博物馆提供的材料援助。感谢Alex Mackay对草案的评论。我们还要感谢马克·格罗特在统计方面提供的协助和佐亚·托马斯在数据收集方面提供的协助。SW由美国国家科学基金会研究生研究奖学金(研究员ID 2017251536),加州大学戴维斯分校,人类学系和戴维斯实验考古中心(CEAD)资助。萨拉·e·沃森萨拉·沃森是菲尔德自然历史博物馆的博士后研究科学家。她使用石器分析来了解非洲南部石器时代中期和后期的技术创新。她的博士论文研究重点是晚更新世时期小型工具技术的发展。Tamara DogandžićTamara Dogandžić是德国新维德MONREPOS考古研究中心和人类行为进化博物馆(莱布尼茨中心<e:2> Archäologie的一部分)的旧石器时代考古学家。她的研究重点是通过研究石器制品,特别是旧石器时代中期的石器组合,以及对薄片形成的控制实验来理解人类行为。她曾在塞尔维亚、克罗地亚、法国和肯尼亚指导或参与旧石器时代的挖掘项目。张培琪,美国加州大学戴维斯分校人类学系博士研究生。她对东亚旧石器时代早期的石器技术和人类对高海拔青藏高原的行为适应感兴趣。特蕾莎E。

Previously unpublished results of test excavations in 1986–1987 at Dia, an extensive occupation mound complex on the western margins of the Inland Niger Delta in Mali, have been augmented by a series of new AMS dates. This article explores how the excavation and radiocarbon data together provide new insights into occupation sequences and site formation processes. It presents details on the depositional contexts, chronology and associated material culture at each of the 1986–1987 excavation units. Using these data, we examine the role of post-depositional disturbance, secondary deposition and re-use of earlier cultural deposits in interpreting site formation processes at the Dia settlement mounds. In addition, we emphasise the important role that studies of well-contextualised pottery from excavation can play in evaluating regional interactions through comparisons with other documented sequences in neighbouring areas, including Jenne-jeno and the Méma. This focus on site formation and regional interaction enables new interpretations that also interrogate and expand the results of the larger-scale excavations at Dia by an international team between 1998 and 2002.
1986-1987年在迪亚(位于马里内陆尼日尔三角洲西部边缘的一个广泛的占领丘建筑群)进行的试验挖掘的先前未发表的结果,已经通过一系列新的AMS日期得到了扩充。本文探讨了挖掘和放射性碳数据如何共同为职业序列和遗址形成过程提供新的见解。它详细介绍了1986-1987年每个挖掘单位的沉积背景、年代和相关物质文化。利用这些数据,我们研究了沉积后扰动、二次沉积和早期文化沉积物的再利用在解释迪亚沉降丘遗址形成过程中的作用。此外,我们强调,通过与邻近地区(包括Jenne-jeno和m马)的其他记录序列进行比较,对挖掘出的具有良好背景的陶器进行研究,可以在评估区域相互作用方面发挥重要作用。这种对遗址形成和区域相互作用的关注使得新的解释成为可能,也质疑和扩展了1998年至2002年间一个国际团队在迪亚进行的大规模挖掘的结果。

ABSTRACTThere is longstanding evidence in the archaeological record of southern Africa for the application of hafting adhesives in the production of composite tool technology. Despite the limitations in the preservation of organics in archaeological contexts, the preservation of these materials can inform us about aspects of technological production and function, including hafting arrangements, adhesive production and resource acquisition. In some instances where we see the prevalence of organic materials that are at odds with the ecological landscape, these same materials can also elucidate social interactions between cultural groups. This paper presents the results of the analysis by microscopy and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of hafting residues from stone tools from the ceramic final Later Stone Age assemblages at Sehonghong, Lesotho. It argues that an adoption of novel resources including Pinus sp. resin, castor oil and paraffin by nineteenth-century San facilitated the continued existence of hunter-gatherer lifeways in increasingly marginalised circumstances amid tense relationships between the last hunter-gatherers of the Maloti-Drakensberg, newly arriving Basotho communities and European colonists.RÉSUMÉIl existe des preuves de longue date dans les archives archéologiques de l’Afrique australe de l’application d’adhésifs d’emmanchement dans la production de la technologie des outils composites.

【摘要】在非洲南部的考古记录中,有长期存在的证据表明,在复合工具技术的生产中应用了轴封粘合剂。尽管在考古背景下保存有机物存在局限性,但这些材料的保存可以告诉我们技术生产和功能的各个方面,包括轴封安排、粘合剂生产和资源获取。在某些情况下,我们看到有机材料的流行与生态景观不一致,这些材料也可以阐明文化群体之间的社会互动。本文介绍了在莱索托Sehonghong地区,用显微镜和气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)对晚期石器时代陶瓷组合中的石器残留物进行分析的结果。该研究认为,19世纪的桑人对松脂、蓖麻油和石蜡等新资源的采用,促进了狩猎采集者生活方式的继续存在,这种生活方式在日益边缘化的环境中继续存在,而马洛蒂-德拉肯斯堡最后的狩猎采集者、新到达的巴索托社区和欧洲殖民者之间的关系日益紧张。RÉSUMÉIl存在关于长期日期、档案、南方非洲、应用、管理、生产、技术和复合材料的文件、档案和应用的文件。在组织和环境方面,在生产和功能技术方面,在组织和环境方面,在组织和环境方面,在生产和功能技术方面,包括管理方面的安排、生产和管理方面的安排和资源获取方面的安排。在某些情况下où l'on conconstate的谓语为:a prprizumdominance de matciriaux organques ququsonen矛盾,即:a paysage samogique,即mêmes matciriaux percuvenest,即: matciriaux percuvenest,即:相互作用,社会,团体,文化。这篇文章发表于莱索托,Sehonghong, de Lesotho。该文章描述了晚期石器时代(final late Stone Age)。新资源的采用情况,包括新资源的采用情况(Pinus sp.)、新资源的采用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况、新资源的使用情况。关键词:后期石器时代,19世纪Maloti-Drakensberghafting胶粘剂气相色谱-质谱联用(GC-MS)松木树脂或油石蜡致谢我们要感谢Louise Hutten为我们提供了所研究的Sehonghong人工制品藏品,这些藏品目前收藏在南非开普敦大学考古学系;选定的材料被运送到英国牛津考古学和艺术史研究实验室进行分析。莱索托保护和保存委员会批准米切尔这样做。我们还要感谢加拿大自然保护研究所的Jennifer Poulin在2016年Veall博士在那里实习期间对GC-MS数据解释进行了宝贵的讨论。此外,我们感谢我们的推荐人提供的有用的意见。作者简介:margaret - ashley Veall是位于加拿大渥太华的加拿大保护研究所的一名保护科学家。她擅长使用气相色谱-质谱和热解气相色谱-质谱分析文物收藏中的有机物质。虽然她目前的工作重点是有机考古材料,天然结合介质和农药在加拿大的背景下,她的博士研究集中在非洲南部石器时代考古遗址的粘合剂和残留物的特征。彼得·米切尔,牛津大学非洲考古学教授,牛津大学圣休学院考古学导师和研究员,威特沃特斯兰德大学岩石艺术研究所副研究员。1988年至1998年期间,他在莱索托进行了广泛的挖掘工作,最近在梅托隆大坝建设之前,他对那里的实地工作进行了总体指导。他对这个国家的考古学保持着浓厚的兴趣,同时也在非洲考古学和人与动物关系的不同主题上进行了更广泛的研究。

Stone points are one of the key features used to define the African Middle Stone Age (MSA). Regional patterns in their shape and size through time have been thought to reflect inter-group interactions and networks of populations and are used to define cultural phases within the MSA. However, eastern Africa does not have distinctive and widely applied chrono-stratigraphic point variants that divide its MSA record, which is often described as being highly variable. This paper presents a metric and geometric morphometric analysis of eastern African MSA points and evaluates potential drivers of variation in them in relation to null models of isolation by distance, time and environment. Approximately half of the shape variance in our sample can be explained by spatial, temporal and environmental differences, as well as by size, indicating a degree of demographic continuity through sustained cultural transmission. A portion of the remaining variance likely represents stylistic differences between assemblages, which are often the subject of interest in archaeological studies. The highly variable nature of the eastern African MSA may reflect the region’s refugial positioning within the continent, with point technology a flexible adaptive system that was dynamically employed across Africa during the MSA depending on varying social and ecological contexts, resulting in the appearance of both ‘generic’ and ‘specific’ tool forms at particular times and places.
石点是用来定义非洲中石器时代(MSA)的关键特征之一。随着时间的推移,其形状和大小的区域模式被认为反映了群体间的相互作用和人口网络,并用于定义MSA内的文化阶段。然而,东非没有独特和广泛应用的年代地层点变体来划分其MSA记录,这通常被描述为高度可变的。本文介绍了东非MSA点的度量和几何形态计量学分析,并评估了与距离、时间和环境隔离的零模型相关的这些点变化的潜在驱动因素。在我们的样本中,大约一半的形状差异可以用空间、时间和环境差异以及大小来解释,这表明通过持续的文化传播有一定程度的人口连续性。剩下的部分差异可能代表了组合之间的风格差异,这通常是考古研究的兴趣主题。东非MSA高度多变的性质可能反映了该地区在非洲大陆内的避难定位,在MSA期间,点技术是一种灵活的适应系统,根据不同的社会和生态环境在非洲各地动态应用,导致在特定时间和地点出现“通用”和“特定”工具形式。

RÉSUMÉAu Burkina Faso, la cartographie de la métallurgie du fer de Jean-Baptiste Kiethega permet de dégager quatre provinces métallurgiques. Gonsé, localisé au centre du pays, s’inscrit dans la grande province métallurgique des Boose caractérisée par une diversité de techniques et de types de fourneaux. Pour une meilleure connaissance de l’activité et la couverture complète du territoire burkinabè, des recherches ont été menées à Gonsé, village situé dans la périphérie est de Ouagadougou la capitale du Burkina Faso. Les questions soulevées par ces recherches sont notamment la nature des vestiges de la paléo-métallurgie du fer, les dates et leurs liens avec les données existantes. L’étude exclusive des sites métallurgiques qui ont fait l’objet de la recherche se base sur la tradition orale, les écrits et les fouilles archéologiques. En surface, on a la présence de bases de fourneaux, de scories, des restes de tuyères et de fragments de parois. De forme circulaire, le système d’alimentation en air des fourneaux est probablement la ventilation naturelle. Les vestiges ont des caractéristiques proches des traditions techniques KRS 3 (quatorzième à seizième siècles ap. J.-C.) de Korsimoro (Sanmatenga) et B3 (seizième à vingtième siècles ap. J.-C.) du Bam. La fouille des bases de fourneaux (F1 et F3) de l’atelier 1 permet de dire que le principal matériau de construction est la motte d’argile. Le fourneau 1 est daté entre les troisième et le cinquième siècle ap. J.-C. tandis que le F3 est daté entre le cinquième et le sixième siècle.ABSTRACTIn Burkina Faso, the mapping of iron metallurgy by Jean-Baptiste Kiethega makes it possible to identify four metallurgical provinces. Gonsé, located in the centre of the country, is part of the large metallurgical province of Boose characterised by a diversity of techniques and types of furnaces. To improve understanding of these activities and obtain complete coverage of the Burkinabe territory, fieldwork was carried out in Gonsé, a village located in the eastern outskirts of Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso. Drawing on a combination of archaeological excavation, oral tradition and historical sources, the questions raised by this research concern the nature of the vestiges of iron metallurgy found there, their dates and their links with existing data. Ironworking is evidenced on the surface by the presence of furnace bases, slags, the remains of nozzles and fragments of furnace walls. Circular in shape, the air supply system for the stoves probably took the form of natural ventilation. The remains have characteristics close to the technical traditions known as KRS 3 (fourteenth to sixteenth centuries AD) from Korsimoro (Sanmatenga) and B3 (sixteenth to twentieth centuries AD) from Bam. Excavation of the furnace bases (F1 and F3) at workshop 1 shows that the main construction material used was clay. Furnace 1 is dated between the third and fifth centuries AD while F3 dates to between the fifth and sixth centu

The importance of the arid interior of southern Africa for human evolution has come into focus in recent years. However, the current distribution of archaeological sites is limited to the southern margin of the Kalahari sediments in South Africa and to the northern part of Botswana. Surface scatters of archaeological artefacts in other parts of the Kalahari have not been studied systematically despite their potential to test human adaptation to marginal environments in the past. We developed a mobile Geographical Information System (GIS) set-up that allows us to record the archaeological potential of Botswana’s southwestern Kgalagadi district in a rapid and standardised manner. This paper describes five archaeological sites identified through our survey in the wider area around the town of Tsabong. Four of these sites, as well as the majority of identified surface archaeology, belong to the Middle Stone Age based on a first assessment of their lithic typology. A pattern is emerging of particular concentration of these sites on or near quartzite outcrops that are located next to pans. Additionally, six test pits confirmed the high potential for further archaeological investigations in this area using a landscape approach.
近年来,非洲南部干旱内陆对人类进化的重要性已经成为人们关注的焦点。然而,目前考古遗址的分布仅限于南非喀拉哈里沙漠沉积物的南部边缘和博茨瓦纳的北部。在喀拉哈里沙漠的其他地区,尽管有可能测试人类对过去边缘环境的适应能力,但考古文物的表面分散尚未得到系统研究。我们开发了一个移动地理信息系统(GIS)装置,使我们能够以快速和标准化的方式记录博茨瓦纳西南部Kgalagadi地区的考古潜力。本文描述了五个考古遗址,通过我们的调查,确定了更广泛的地区,在Tsabong镇。根据对这些遗址的石器类型学的初步评估,其中四个遗址,以及大多数已确定的地表考古遗址,属于中石器时代。一种模式正在出现,这些地点特别集中在石英岩露头上或附近,这些露头位于煤田旁边。此外,六个测试坑证实了在该地区使用景观方法进行进一步考古调查的巨大潜力。

ABSTRACT Early archaeological investigations of the Uasin Gishu Plateau of west-central Kenya highlighted its potential importance as a geographic link between the Central Rift, the Lake Victoria Basin and the western Kenyan highlands from the Middle Stone Age to the Pastoral Neolithic and Iron Age periods. Despite this, the region has seen little focused research in recent decades. Here, we report on archaeological research at the site of Kapsoo Rockshelter, Chebinyiny Hill (GmJf1), near Moiben on the northern end of the Uasin Gishu Plateau. We combine data from original fieldwork in 1982 with renewed test excavations at Kapsoo carried out in 2022. Results of lithic, faunal and material analyses combined with radiocarbon dating reflect occupation of the northern plateau from the late Pleistocene to the late Holocene and provide the first radiometric dates for the presence of mobile herders in this region. Quantitative assessment of the rich lithic record at the site identifies significant technological change over time, providing a description of the regional Later Stone Age sequence. Finally, we present hypotheses for the relationship between Kapsoo and the nearby undated sequence at Muringa, as well as how these records fit into broader patterns of economic change across southwestern Kenya.
摘要:对肯尼亚中西部瓦辛吉苏高原的早期考古调查强调了它在中石器时代到新石器时代和铁器时代作为连接中央裂谷、维多利亚湖盆地和肯尼亚西部高地的地理纽带的潜在重要性。尽管如此,近几十年来,该地区几乎没有集中的研究。在此,我们报道了在瓦辛吉舒高原北端莫本县附近的Chebinyiny山(GmJf1) Kapsoo Rockshelter遗址的考古研究。我们将1982年原始野外工作的数据与2022年在Kapsoo进行的新测试挖掘相结合。岩屑、动物和物质分析结果结合放射性碳测年反映了晚更新世至晚全新世北部高原的活动,并提供了该地区移动牧民存在的第一个放射性测年。对该遗址丰富的岩石记录的定量评估表明,随着时间的推移,技术发生了重大变化,提供了该地区晚石器时代序列的描述。最后,我们提出了Kapsoo与附近穆林加(Muringa)未确定年代序列之间关系的假设,以及这些记录如何适应肯尼亚西南部更广泛的经济变化模式。RÉSUMÉLes premioreres研究肯尼亚中西部瓦辛吉苏高原地区的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1>通讯通讯系统的<s:1> <s:1>通讯通讯系统的重要潜力区域的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1>通讯系统的重要潜力区域的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1>通讯系统的重要潜力区域的重要潜力区域,肯尼亚西部盆地的重要潜力区域的重要潜力区域的重要潜力区域,Âge中石器时代的Pierre moyen地区的<s:1> <s:1> <s:1>通讯系统的<s:1> <s:1>通讯系统的重要区域的<s:1> <s:1>通讯系统的重要区域的<s:1> <s:1>通讯系统的重要区域的<s:1> <s:1>通讯系统的重要区域。malgraise, la racei和conu peu的研究表明,cacei和cacei的研究过程都与cacei有关。1 .在Kapsoo Rockshelter站点、Chebinyiny Hill (gmj1)、Moiben站点和unasin Gishu高原北部的其他区域,完成了对原始<s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> <s:1> - - - - - - - -的研究。Nous将1982年开始的les donunes des travaux de terrain和2022年开始的les nouvelles fouilles合并为les donunes des travaux de terrain。该方法分析了不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的、不同的。L' samuquence定量des riches archives lithiques du site确定了技术的变化,这些变化是重要的文件,公开描述了la ssamuquence racrigionale de L' Âge de Pierre racimente(后石器时代)。最后,在肯尼亚西部,已知的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件下的交换交换条件。关键词:肯尼亚后石器时代畜禽新石器时代分析采集者致谢如果没有Phillip Pochon在Kapsoo Rockshelter进行的原始挖掘,本研究是不可能完成的。我们非常感谢Pochon先生的支持,他慷慨地为我们提供了早期调查和发掘的细节,帮助我们重建了1982年发掘和地层学的各个方面。我们还要感谢现在的土地所有者,Moiben的Arap Lemek先生,他允许进行这次实地调查,并分享了近几十年来场地使用的细节,以及Lemek, Kapkures和Chebni家族在测试挖掘期间的帮助和支持。Moiben酋长办公室和wasin Gishu县专员办公室的支持对我们能够开展这里报道的实地工作至关重要,我们感谢他们帮助我们在该地区开展研究。本项目根据NACOSTI研究许可(NACOSTI/P/22/16919, Ref. no. 5)进行。139278,给S.
