[HTML][HTML] Technological and geometric morphometric analysis of 'post-Howiesons Poort points' from Border Cave, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Lithic assemblages immediately following the Howiesons Poort, often loosely referred to as
the 'post-Howiesons Poort'or MSA III, have attracted relatively little attention when compared …

Revisiting lithic edge characterization with microCT: Multiscale study of edge curvature, re-entrant features, and profile geometry on Olduvai Gorge quartzite flakes
The angle and shape of lithic tool edges have long been used as a method of inferring
prehistoric tool function. However, accurately measuring and characterizing edge angles of …

Is it time to retire NASTIES in southern Africa? Moving beyond the culture-historical framework for Middle Stone Age lithic assemblage variability
J Wilkins - Lithic Technology, 2020 - Taylor & Francis
ABSTRACT The Middle Stone Age (MSA) of southern Africa provides crucial insight on early
Homo sapiens behavioral evolution. Archaeologists have traditionally presented lithic …

Single-grain OSL chronologies for the Still Bay and Howieson's Poort industries and the transition between them: Further analyses and statistical modelling
The chronology of the Still Bay (SB) and Howieson's Poort (HP) lithic industries remains an
issue of keen interest because of the central role of these two phases of technological and …

Identifying major transitions in the evolution of lithic cutting edge production rates
The notion that the evolution of core reduction strategies involved increasing efficiency in
cutting edge production is prevalent in narratives of hominin technological evolution. Yet a …
