    Notes: [Auszug] THE dates reported in this issue of Nature (pages 443 and 446) by groups from the University of Rochester1 and the University of Arizona at Tucson2 are among the first fruits of the method of radiocarbon measurement by accelerator mass spectrometry. The method, which uses the large tandem Van der ...

    Notes: [Auszug] Recent investigations of Lower Pleistocene sites at Chesowanja have yielded in situ Oldowan and Oldowan-like stone artefacts, evidence of fire and a fragmentary ‘robust’ australopithecine cranium. Burnt clay found at one artefact locality dated to 〉1.42±0.07 Myr is the ...

    Notes: [Auszug] GOWLETT, HARRIS AND WOOD REPLY-Isaac provides us with an opportunity to explain further why we consider that the context of the burnt clay at site GnJi 1/6E deserves serious consideration as evidence linking fire with hominid activity. Isaac describes a series of circumstances which would provide ...

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé Il est démontré que l'allométrie ou variation dimensionnelle, est un facteur important des bifaces de deux collections séparées du site acheuléen de Kariandusi au Kénya. Une telle variation a des implications fonctionnelles et peut-être aussi stylistiques. Cet article examine l'archéologie de Kariandusi, puis étudie la question des variations de dimensions et de formes dans les bifaces. Les sites plus élevés de Kariandusi, que L.S.B. Leakey a été le premier à fouiller, ont donné de nombreux bifaces d'obsidienne que l'on peut dater d'environ 0,7–1,0 million d'années. Le matériel obtenu dans le site inférieur, y compris de nombreux bifaces en lave, est jugé plus récent stratigraphiquement, mais probablement de la même période. En faisant des comparaisons avec les sites acheuléens voisins de Kilombe et de la Formation Kapthurine, nous démontrons que l'allométrie est présente dans des collections de bifaces dont les dates diffèrent d'au moins 0,5 million d'années; que des principes d'allométrie similaires s'appliquent à toutes les collections; et que lorsqu'il y a des différences de schéma allométrique, la variation au sein d'un même site est souvent plus importante que la variation entre des sites distants. Nous concluons que la dimension d'un biface détermine au moins partiellement sa forme, et que les sites de la période de l'Homo erectus et du début de la période de l'Homo sapiens présentent des schémas allométriques étonamment semblables.
    Notes: Abstract Allometry, or size-related variation, is shown to be an important factor in the bifaces of two separate assemblages from the Acheulean site of Kariandusi in Kenya. Such variation has functional and possibly stylistic implications. The paper gives a review of the archaeology of Kariandusi, and then investigates the question of size and shape variation in bifaces. The Upper Sites at Kariandusi, first investigated by L. S. B. Leakey, have yielded many obsidian bifaces which can be dated to approximately 0.7–1.0 myr ago. Material from the Lower Site, including many lava bifaces, is judged to be stratigraphically younger but probably in the same time range. We show by making comparisons with the neighbouring Acheulean sites of Kilombe and the Kapthurin Formation that allometry is present in biface assemblages at least 0.5 myr different in date; that similar principles of allometry operate in all the assemblages; and that where there are differences of allometric pattern, within-site variation is sometimes greater than variation between distant sites. We conclude that the size of a biface at least partly determines the shape in which it was made, and that sites in the time range ofHomo erectus and earlyHomo sapiens show surprisingly similar allometric patterns.

    Notes: [Auszug] The dating of the first human migrations into the Americas is one of the most controversial topics in prehistory. An accurate time scale for colonization is necessary to assess how rapidly hunters and gatherers could expand into virgin territory, and also to evaluate how much time was required for ...

    Notes: [Auszug] "FEEL good" wrote Johanson in his diary just before discovering the early hominid remains of "Lucy". It was good too that Helene Roche, a French co-worker in the same Afar region of Ethiopia, succeeded in finding the earliest stone tools yet known (c. 21/2 million years old), which now gain mention ...
