Climate-controlled Holocene occupation in the Sahara: motor of Africa's evolution.
Rudolph Kuper,Stefan Kröpelin +1 more
TL;DR: Radiocarbon data from 150 archaeological excavations in the now hyper-arid Eastern Sahara of Egypt, Sudan, Libya, and Chad reveal close links between climatic variations and prehistoric occupation during the past 12,000 years.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental change and archaeology: lake evolution and human occupation in the Eastern Sahara during the Holocene
TL;DR: In this paper, a series of fieldwork-based differential GPS (DGPS) measurements along several profiles across the West Nubian Palaeolake basin provides the first precise topographic data from this up to a 5330 km2 large palaeola feature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wadi Howar: Paleoclimatic Evidence from an Extinct River System in the Southeastern Sahara
H. J. Pachur,Stefan Kröpelin +1 more
TL;DR: Field research into the climatic history and shifting of the East Saharan desert has furnished evidence that during Quaternary time the present extremely arid western part of Upper Nubia (northern Sudan) was temporarily linked to the Nile by way of a hitherto unknown 400 kilometer long tributary.
