Sea level and shoreline reconstructions for the Red Sea: isostatic and tectonic considerations and implications for hominin migration out of Africa
Kurt Lambeck,Kurt Lambeck,Anthony W. Purcell,Nicholas C. Flemming,Claudio Vita-Finzi,Abdullah Alsharekh,Geoffrey N. Bailey +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an iterative analysis of the Holocene and interglacial evidence was carried out and a predictive model for palaeo-shorelines and water depths for a time interval encompassing the period proposed for migrations of modern humans out of Africa was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Al Wusta shows that early H. sapiens dispersals out of Africa were not limited to winter rainfall-fed Levantine Mediterranean woodlands immediately adjacent to Africa, but extended deep into the semi-arid grasslands of Arabia, facilitated by periods of enhanced monsoonal rainfall.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Middle Palaeolithic of Arabia: Implications for modern human origins, behaviour and dispersals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarise the archaeological evidence and suggest some of the routes taken by the earliest humans coming out of Africa, including one implying the use of boats, suggesting that early populations adapted to a hospitable environment, but had later to adapt to the advance of the desert.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hominin Dispersal into the Nefud Desert and Middle Palaeolithic Settlement along the Jubbah Palaeolake, Northern Arabia
Michael D. Petraglia,Michael D. Petraglia,Abdullah Alsharekh,Paul S. Breeze,Chris Clarkson,Rémy Crassard,Nick Drake,Huw S. Groucutt,Richard P. Jennings,Adrian G. Parker,Ash Parton,Richard G. Roberts,Ceri Shipton,Carney Matheson,Abdulaziz Al-Omari,Margaret-Ashley Veall +15 more
TL;DR: The discovery of three stratified and buried archaeological sites in the Nefud Desert is described, which includes the oldest dated occupation for the region and stone tool assemblages are identified as a Middle Palaeolithic industry that includes Levallois manufacturing methods and the production of tools on flakes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Middle Paleolithic occupation on a Marine Isotope Stage 5 lakeshore in the Nefud Desert, Saudi Arabia
Michael D. Petraglia,Abdullah Alsharekh,Rémy Crassard,Nick Drake,Huw S. Groucutt,Adrian G. Parker,Richard G. Roberts +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the discovery of Middle Paleolithic assemblages in the Nefud Desert of northern Arabia associated with stratified deposits dated to 75,000 years ago, which supports the hypothesis of range expansion by Middle-Paleolithic populations into Arabia during the final humid phase of Marine Isotope Stage 5, when environmental conditions were still favorable.
