TL;DR: The emerging picture of the dispersal process suggests dynamic behavioral variability, complex interactions between populations, and an intricate genetic and cultural legacy in Homo sapiens out of Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
OSL dating of the Aterian levels at Dar es-Soltan I (Rabat, Morocco) and implications for the dispersal of modern Homo sapiens
TL;DR: The earliest known dates for the Aterian are reported in this paper, which suggest an appearance in the Maghreb region during MIS (Marine Isotope Stage) 5.
Journal ArticleDOI
Remote sensing and GIS techniques for reconstructing Arabian palaeohydrology and identifying archaeological sites
Paul S. Breeze,Nick Drake,Huw S. Groucutt,Ash Parton,Richard P. Jennings,Tom S. White,Laine Clark-Balzan,Ceri Shipton,Eleanor M. L. Scerri,Christopher Stimpson,Rémy Crassard,Yamandú H. Hilbert,Abdullah Alsharekh,Abdulaziz Al-Omari,Michael D. Petraglia +14 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combined method for remotely mapping the location of palaeodrainage and palaeolakes in currently arid regions that were formerly subject to more humid conditions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stone tool assemblages and models for the dispersal of Homo sapiens out of Africa
Huw S. Groucutt,Eleanor M. L. Scerri,Eleanor M. L. Scerri,Laura H. Lewis,Laine Clark-Balzan,James Blinkhorn,Richard P. Jennings,Ash Parton,Michael D. Petraglia +8 more
TL;DR: The results show that Late Pleistocene geometric/microlithic technologies exhibit significant temporal and regional differences between each other, and indicate an early onset of multiple dispersals out of Africa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Human occupation of the Arabian empty quarter during MIS 5: evidence from Mundafan Al-Buhayrah, Saudi Arabia
Huw S. Groucutt,Tom S. White,Laine Clark-Balzan,Ash Parton,Rémy Crassard,Ceri Shipton,Richard P. Jennings,Adrian G. Parker,Paul S. Breeze,Eleanor M. L. Scerri,Abdullah Alsharekh,Michael D. Petraglia +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on the first stratified and dated archaeology from the Empty Quarter, recovered from the site of Mundafan Al-Buhayrah (MDF-61) using multiple luminescence dating techniques (multigrain and single grain OSL, TT-OSL).
