We all stand in awe at the achievements of the Egyptians, at their pyramids, sarcophagi, intricate jewellery and so on, but rarely give a thought to how they actually produced these monuments and objects. With a background in mechanical engineering Denys Stocks has reconstructed and replicated two hundred tools that are found in archaeological contexts or are preserved in pictorial evidence. This book draws on this experimental work to discern the development of Egyptian tools and techniques...

Social learning by modern humans led to the repetition and persistence of stone tool forms we see in the recent archaeological record. The emergence of similar patterning in early hominin assemblages is often assumed to track the beginnings of social learning. Less clear is what was being socially transmitted during this early period. One possibility is that hominins learned how to make objects according to a shared ‘mental template’. A second possibility is that specific sequences were learned,...

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Numerous oleaginous (oil-producing) tree species exist across tropical Africa. Indigenous populations both past and present used many of these species in a variety of ways including for fuel, cooking, medicinal, and cosmetic purposes. Current emphasis in the literature is often placed on the importance of E. guineensis (African oil palm) likely due to it being...

As the British Navy patrolled the West African coast in an effort to enforce the cessation of the Atlantic Slave Trade beginning in the early nineteenth century, several American and European traders shifted their focus a slightly inland, establishing trading sites on the more visibly protected tidal branches of the Rio Pongo of coastal Guinea. This paper explores the material culture used and maintained by one of these establishments at the site of Gambia, considering how material consumption...

This is an abstract from the "The Extended Evolutionary Synthesis and Human Origins: Archaeological Perspectives" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Discerning the patterns and processes of human origins has been mostly centered on a gene-eye’s view of fitness landscapes. This interpretive structure is partiality undermined by modern biological thought that emphasizes a more holistic approach to evolution. We suggest that the broader framework of the...

Age data, following Silver (1969), from non-intrusive postcranial remains of domesticates at Gileodabeshta 2, Units 4 and 5 combined. Proximal metapodials and distal phalanges are excluded since these fused in the womb, and no unfused specimens were documented. I = infant; I/J = infant or juvenile; J = juvenile; J/A+ = juvenile or adult or older; A+ = adult or older

Knysna Eastern Heads Cave 1 (KEH-1) demonstrates an intense occupation sequence at a site overlooking the now sub-merged Agulhas Bank during multiple ocean progressions and regressions in the late Middle Stone Age and early Later Stone Age (46,000 to 18,000 Cal BP). The site contains numerous hearth features, densely stacked within the stratigraphic section, and has yielded large amounts of fauna. Here we report for the first time on the preliminary taphonomic analysis of the fauna, based on a...
