Hunter-Gatherers of the High-Altitude Afromontane Forest - Holocene Occupation of Mount Dendi, Ethiopia Spatial Temporal
Presentation at SAfA 2018 Conference in Toronto:
The Dendi Lake Rock Shelter is situated circa 80 km west of Addis Abeba on the West Central Ethiopian Plateau in the Ginchi woreda of the Oromiya regional state of Ethiopia. In October 2012 a team from the University of Cologne, CRC 806 directed by R. Vogelsang excavated a test-trench that revealed four archaeological horizons that could clearly be distinguished in typological manners as well as by radiocarbon dates. The talk will focus on the lithics,...

The role of cryptotephra in refining the chronology of Late Pleistocene human evolution and cultural change in North Africa doi
Sites in North Africa hold key information for dating the presence ofHomo sapiens and the distribution of Middle Stone Age (MSA), Middle Palaeolithic (MP) and Later Stone Age (LSA) cultural activity in the Late Pleistocene. Here we present new and review recently published tephrochronological evidence for five cave sites in North Africa with long MSA/MP and LSA cultural sequences. Four tephra horizons have been identified at the Haua Fteah (Cyrenaica, Libya). They include cryptotephra evidence for the...

Modern and early Holocene mollusc fauna of the Ounianga lakes (northern Chad): implications for the palaeohydrology of the central Sahara doi Spatial
The fresh and saline lakes of Ounianga Kebir and Serir in northeastern Chad are among the very few permanent aquatic
ecosystems currently existing in the hyper-arid core of the Sahara desert. The confirmed modern fauna of aquatic molluscs at
Ounianga comprises three widespread species (Melanoides tuberculata, Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Lymnaea natalensis), of which
only the first appears to maintain a thriving population. We recovered seven more species of gastropods, among which one is new to
science...

Climatic change recorded in the sediments of the Chew Bahir basin, southern Ethiopia, during the last 45,000 years Spatial
East African paleoenvironments are highly variable, marked by extreme fluctuations in moisture
availability, which has far-reaching implications for the origin, evolution and dispersal of Homo sapiens
in and beyond the region. This paper presents results from a pilot core from the Chew Bahir basin in
southern Ethiopia that records the climatic history of the past 45 ka, with emphasis on the African
Humid Period (AHP, w15e5 ka calBP). Geochemical, physical and biological indicators show that Chew
Bahir...

Ages for the Middle Stone Age of Southern Africa: Implications for Human Behavior and Dispersal Spatial
The expansion of modern human populations in Africa 80,000 to 60,000 years ago and their initial
exodus out of Africa have been tentatively linked to two phases of technological and behavioral
innovation within the Middle Stone Age of southern Africa—the Still Bay and Howieson’s Poort
industries—that are associated with early evidence for symbols and personal ornaments.
Establishing the correct sequence of events, however, has been hampered by inadequate
chronologies. We report ages for nine sites from...

Jungpleistozäne Küstenveränderungen am Roten Meer und die Ausbreitung des Modernen Menschen (B.Sc. thesis University of Cologne) Spatial
This Bachelor of Science thesis will show the changes of the coastal area of the Red Sea at the time of the Upper Pleistocene and their effects on the dispersal of anatomically modern humans (AMH). Thus insights about possible routes of migration of AMH out of Africa shall be gained. For this research the palaeoclimate, the sea level changes and the tectonic processes will be decribed. By reconstruction of coastal areas it will be shown that a trespassing of the Bab al-Mandab strait at the mouth of the Red...

Out of Africa, the Nile Valley and the Northern Route Spatial
Hypotheses on the dispersal patterns of modern humans out of Africa have undergone much change in the past decade, with new ideas on the routes and geographic extent of movements proposed. New data and perspectives from the Nile Valley necessitate reassessment of the role of the Northern Route. Here, fossil evidence and technological strategies followed in the Nile Valley between 200 000 to 300 000 years ago, and its relevance to dispersal patterns are discussed. Most of the sites in the Nile Valley relate...

This paper presents results from a pilot core from the Chew Bahir basin in southern Ethiopia that records the climatic history of the past 45 ka, with emphasis on the African Humid Period (AHP, ∼15–5 ka calBP).
