The Hata Member of the Bouri Formation is defined for Pliocene sedimentary outcrops in Middle Awash Valley, Ethiopia. dated to 2.5 million years ago and has produced a new species Australopithecus hominid postcranial remains not currently assigned species. Spatially associated zooarchaeological show that hominids acquired meat marrow by they are near contemporary Oldowan artifacts at nearby Gona. combined evidence suggests behavioral changes with lithic technology enhanced carnivory may have...
A technique for the potassium-argon dating of high potassium feldspars less than 50,000 years age is described. The applied to obtaining precision ages in time-range 60,000-2,000,000 years. Sufficient data are presented show that time-scale Plio-Pleistocene glaciations greater 10 and hominoids capable fashioning tools by working stone at least 1.75 Several other points on human evolution presented. rift faulting Kenya established several Italian volcanoes
The wooden artifact widely known as the Clacton Spear (pl. 1) was discovered by Samuel Hazzledine Warren, F.G.S., in 1911. He dug it out of an undisturbed part freshwater sediments, probably a peaty seam, exposed on foreshore at Clacton-on-Sea, c . 80 km ENE London (Warren 1911; 1914, and conversation with K.P.O. 1933). On 30th September 1911, Warren conducted party members Essex Field Club visit to see outcrop Pleistocene fluviatile deposits shore west Pier, brief report this excursion,...
Fossils and artifacts recovered from the middle Awash Valley of Ethiopia's Afar depression sample Middle Pleistocene transition Homo erectus to sapiens. Ar/Ar ages, biostratigraphy, tephrachronology this area indicate that Bodo hominid cranium newer specimens are approximately 0.6 million years old. Only Oldowan chopper flake assemblages present in lower stratigraphic units, but Acheulean bifacial consistently prevalent widespread directly overlying deposits. This technological is related a...

Abstract Current belief ascribes the origins of agriculture in Nile to diffusion fifth millennium B.C. from southwest Asia plants and animals domestication which had first begun there eighth or earlier. A growing body evidence is now becoming available shows cultural pattern Valley at termination Pleistocene have been appreciably more complex than was previously thought necessitates a re-examination on for late appearance Egypt based. This pre-agricultural complexity, when examined light...
