Characterizing genetic diversity in Africa is a crucial step for most analyses reconstructing the evolutionary history of anatomically modern humans. However, historic migrations from Eurasia into have affected many contemporary populations, confounding inferences. Here, we present 12.5× coverage ancient genome an Ethiopian male ("Mota") who lived approximately 4500 years ago. We use this to demonstrate that Eurasian backflow came population closely related Early Neolithic farmers, had...
Isernia La Pineta (south-central Italy, Molise) is one of the most important archaeological localities Middle Pleistocene in Western Europe. It an extensive open-air site with abundant lithic industry and faunal remains distributed across four stratified archaeosurfaces that have been found two sectors excavation (3c, 3a, 3s10 sect. I; 3a II). The prehistoric attendance was close to a wet environment, series small waterfalls lakes associated calcareous tufa deposits. An isolated human...
by the International Commission on Stratigraphy (ICS) that Global Boundary Stratotype Section and Point (GSSP) at Vrica, Calabria, Italy (Fig. 1) be used to define base of Calabrian Stage Pleistocene Series Quaternary System.The Vrica GSSP had previously defined before these datum points were lowered in 2009 Monte San Nicola Sicily, Italy, which also defines Gelasian (Gibbard Head, 2010; Gibbard et al., 2010).The proposal been submitted ICS Subcommission (Table 29 November 2010, was approved...
Over three field seasons between 2007 and 2012, we excavated caves—Mota, Tuwatey, Gulo—situated at an average elevation of 2,084 m above sea level in the cool moist Boreda Gamo Highlands southwestern Ethiopia. Anthropogenic deposits these caves date from Middle to Late Holocene (ca. 6000 100 BP) provide excellent preservation material culture, fauna, flora, human skeletal remains which investigate changes technologies habitat use over last several thousand years. Here, present results...
Abstract The Wonji Fault Belt (WFB), Main Ethiopian Rift, forms a network of faults oriented NNE-SSW with Quaternary direction extension c . N95° E. Faults are spaced between 0.5 and 2 km, show fresh steep scarp, recent activity slip rates up to 2.0 mm −1 This high value deformation along the rift floor respect plate separation suggests that most active strain could be accommodated by magma-induced faulting within rift. However, mountain front morphology associated displacement 300–400 m...
Abstract Stratified slope‐waste deposits are widespread in central Italy, even at elevations close to the present coastline. They evidence of cold climatic conditions which affected area during stages Upper Pleistocene. Their occurrence was strongly influenced by bedrock lithology (they common on slopes composed micritic and marly limestone). Detailed morphostratigraphic analysis 14 C dating alluvial inter‐fingered a mountain Umbria‐Marche Apennine (Upper Esino River basin) allows an outline...
