Lithic Technological Variability of the Middle Pleistocene in the Eastern Nihewan Basin, Northern China [PDF]
, 2004 Previous studies have generalized the technological character of the Lower Paleolithic of China with reference to its non-Acheulean features, but regional perspectives on technological variability were largely overlooked.

Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 263-304., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Les premiers peuplements humains de l’Est des Carpates et de leurs abords dans le contexte européen
Materiale și Cercetări Arheologice, 2021 The oldest human remains unearthed in Europe were discovered in the Iberian Peninsula. Their age is between 1.4 and 1.2 Ma. Lithic assemblages older than 1 Ma have been unearthed in southwestern Europe (Italy, southern France, Spain).

Evol AnthropolABSTRACT The Acheulean represents the longest cultural period known to human history, lasting globally for more than 1.75 million years. It may have emerged as early as 1.95 Ma in Africa, spreading throughout much of the continent and then into Eurasia and lasting up to 350–200 ka in western Europe and South Asia, and even later in eastern Asia ...

Archaic lithic industries: structural homogeneity [PDF]
Journal of Historical Archaeology & Anthropological Sciences, 2018 Some years ago The Homogeneity to Multiplicity Model HMM was introduced as a structural framework for understanding the appearance and evolution of early stone tool techno systems Presently the HMM provides an alternative and complimentary conceptual scheme with which to explain how and why particular morphotypes appeared and proliferated through time ...

Two Acheuleans, two humankinds. From 1.5 to 0.85 Ma at Melka Kunture (Upper Awash, Ethiopian highlands) [PDF]
, 2017 The Acheulean is the longest-lasting human cultural record, spanning approximately 1.5 Ma and three continents. The most comprehensive sequences are found in East Africa, where, in large-scale syntheses, the Lower Pleistocene Acheulean (LPA) has often ...

Bipolar flaking as a component of a supraregional lithic resource base: A comparative study of cores from the Pampean and Northcentral Patagonian Atlantic coasts (Argentina) [PDF]
, 2018 Several authors argue that bipolar technology is an expeditious and versatile strategy, efficient for the reduction of small nodules. However, few studies analyze the use of bipolar reduction in relation to the lithic environmental supply. At the Pampean

Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology, 2019 This study uses data extracted from 3D models to compare blade cores from the Châtelperronian and Protoaurignacian stone tool industries. These technocomplexes are at the center of the debate surrounding the interactions between Neanderthals and ...
