Lithic analysis in African archaeology: Advances and key themes
Abstract Stone artifacts (lithics) preserve for extended periods; thus they are key evidence for probing the evolution of human technological behaviors. Africa boasts the oldest record of stone artifacts, spanning 3.3 Ma, rare instances of ethnographic stone tool‐making, and stone tool archives from diverse ecological settings, making it an anchor for ...

Pollen and phytoliths from fired ancient potsherds as potential indicators for deciphering past vegetation and climate in Turpan, Xinjiang, NW China. [PDF]
It is demonstrated that palynomorphs can occur in fired ancient potsherds when the firing temperature was under 350°C. Pollen and phytoliths recovered from incompletely fired and fully fired potsherds (ca.

Abstract Dissolved silicate (DSi) export from rivers is shaped by both natural processes and human activities. Using long‐term observations at Lijin station combined with chemical weathering and reservoir silicon cycling models, we reconstructed annual DSi fluxes and source‐sink dynamics in the Yellow River Basin since the 1980s.
