Thèmes de recherche
Later Stone Age (LSA) culture in Ethiopia and the Horn is less explored archaeological period compared to its antecede Early and Middle Stone Ages. Based on the present knowledge we have, the earliest well dated Later Stone Age bladelet production dated to ~33 ka has come from DW1 site along the Bulbula River of the Main Ethiopian Rift. However, the time for the beginning and gradual ending of LSA is not well known from this region of Africa. Therefore, my research goal is to explore the lithic production trajectories of the period to better substantiate our Knowledge towards its culture-historical technological developments through time and space. In addition, land-use pattern and subsistence strategy of hunter-gatherers is also be central to my research theme vis-à-vis the environmental dynamism of the Late Pleistocene-Holocene period.
