C0011 Early human occupation of the Red Sea coast of Eritrea during the Last Interglacial
The fossil record points to Africa as the origin of anatomically modern humans, approximately 130,000 years before the present. Evidence of Homo sapiens has been found throughout the continent; however, until recently there was little to no reliable evidence that humans were living along the coast at this time. The lack of evidence is in part due to the fact that the African coastline has changed dramatically since the Pleistocene.
Research
C0012 Paleolithic Research on the Red Sea Coast of Eritrea
The specific goals of the project are: 1) to excavate Middle Stone Age (MSA) and Late Stone Age (LSA) sites along the Red Sea Coast of Eritrea that were documented by a pilot survey in May 20051; 2) to describe the geological context and spatial distribution of artifacts; 3) to map lithic raw material sources so that they can be integrated into models of industrial variability; 4) to characterize the variability of lithic and faunal remains at MSA and LSA sites; 5) to refine the chronology of the sites. Fieldwork has commenced in spring 2006 at the Asfet site on the southwest coast of the Gulf of Zula
