The reconstruction of the environment and human population history Nile Valley during Late Pleistocene have received a lot attention in literature thus far. There seems to be consensus that MIS2 extreme dry conditions prevailed over north-eastern Africa, which was apparently not occupied by humans. an exception; numerous field data been collected suggesting important density Upper Egypt MIS2. occupation remains are often stratified in, or at least related to, aeolian deposits some elevation...

Discussion about a possible African origin of modern humans is hampered by the lack Late Pleistocene skeletal material from Nile valley, likely passage-way East Africa to Asia and Europe. Here we report discovery burial an anatomically child southern Egypt. Its clear relation with Middle Palaeolithic chert extraction activities series OSL dates, correlative aeolian sands, suggests age between 49,800 80,400 years ago, mean 55,000.

In this paper, we discuss human occupation during the Early and Middle Holocene in Eastern Desert of Egypt, based mainly on data provided by excavated deposits from Sodmein Cave, which produced an important stratigraphic sequence. This sequence is dated a large number conventional AMS 14C dates. It appears that area was empty Late Glacial Maximum (LGM) earliest Holocene. With improved climatic conditions, humans arrived area, as hunter-gatherers using no ceramics, around 7.1 to 6.4 Ka cal...

Abstract The Tree Shelter site dates to the Early Mid-Holocene (8000 4900 14 C yr BP). Present conditions around are hyperarid, but charcoal remains indicate less severe aridity at time of its occupation. environment then supported a rich wadi vegetation, which allowed hunting during Epipaleolithic and herding Neolithic Although more favorable than today, environmental also displayed desert character seem have limited range domestic herbivores introduced in area.

At the Berlin INQUA Congress (1995) a working group, European Late Pleistocene Isotopic Stages 2 & 3: Humans, Their Ecology Cultural Adaptations, was established under direction of J. Renault-Miskovsky (Institut de Paléontologie humaine, Paris). One objectives building database human occupation Europe during this period. The has been enlarged and now includes Lower, Middle Upper Palaeolithic sites connecting them to their environmental conditions available chronometric dating. From version...
