Expanded geographic distribution and dietary strategies of the earliest Oldowan hominins and Paranthropus
The oldest Oldowan tool sites, from around 2.6 million years ago, have previously been
confined to Ethiopia's Afar Triangle. We describe sites at Nyayanga, Kenya, dated to 3.032 …

Bone tools from Beds II–IV, Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, and implications for the origins and evolution of bone technology
The advent of bone technology in Africa is often associated with behavioral modernity that
began sometime in the Middle Stone Age. Yet, small numbers of bone tools are known from …

Carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen stable isotopes in modern tooth enamel: A case study from Gorongosa National Park, central Mozambique
The analyses of the stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ13C), nitrogen (δ15N), and oxygen
(δ18O) in animal tissues are powerful tools for reconstructing the feeding behavior of …
