Nassarius kraussianus shell beads from Blombos Cave: evidence for symbolic behaviour in the Middle Stone Age
TL;DR: Morphometric, taphonomic and microscopic analysis of modern assemblages of living and dead tick shell demonstrate that the presence of perforated Nassarius kraussianus shells in the Blombos MSA levels cannot be due to natural processes or accidental transport by humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article, a critical reappraisal contradicts the hypothesis of a symbolic revolution coinciding with the arrival of anatomically modern humans in Europe some 40,000 years ago.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abdeljalil Bouzouggar,Nick Barton,Marian Vanhaeren,Francesco d'Errico,S.N. Collcutt,Thomas Higham,Edward Hodge,Simon A. Parfitt,Edward J. Rhodes,Jean-Luc Schwenninger,Chris Stringer,Elaine Turner,Steven Ward,Abdelkrim Moutmir,Abdelhamid Stambouli +14 more
TL;DR: Examples of perforated Nassarius gibbosulus shell beads from Grotte des Pigeons (Taforalt, Morocco), North Africa are reported on, implying an early distribution of bead-making in Africa and southwest Asia at least 40 millennia before the appearance of similar cultural manifestations in Europe.
