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.

TL;DR: In this paper, the late Pleistocene and Holocene history of eastern Africa is complex and major gaps remain in our understanding of human occupation during this period, and questions concerning the identities, geographical distributions and chronologies of foraging, herding and agricultural populations are still unresolved.

TL;DR: The method validation described here supports Hemastix® performed with EDTA as being a reliable presumptive test for the presence of residual blood on buried artefacts and is the most specific, sensitive and cost-effective presumptive test evaluated which can be substituted with any other Hb-CRTS.

TL;DR: The authors analyzed the contents of 11 kohl containers from the Petrie Museum collection in London and revealed that organic ingredients derived from both plant and animal sources were commonly used in kohl recipes and sometimes even represent the main constituent.
