Although essential for reconstructing hominin behaviour during the Early Palaeolithic, only a handful of Acheulean sites have been dated in the Eastern Sahara region. This is due to the scarcity of sites for this time period and the lack of datable m... Read More about The oldest Homo erectus buried lithic horizon from the Eastern Saharan Africa.
