Conclusions (Manuel Dominguez-Rodrigo, Luis Alca la, and Luis Luque)ReviewsThe complexity of behavior documented in Peninj is captivating, because it certainly implies active hunting, intricate knapping, and diverse land-use between 1.5 and 1.2 mya. This complexity is all the more remarkable because Dominguez-Rodrigo and colleagues present compelling links to tangible patterns in the present from those from the past. [...] The authors have developed an inspiring methodology.' -- Metin I. Eren, Southern Methodist University Paleoanthropology 2010 The conclusions drawn from this research project are appropriate and will likely be difficult to overturn on the basis of the evidence presented. The affordable pricetag gives this monograph added value for money and ensures its accessibility to Africanist and Palaeolithic archaeologists, as well as students and more casual readers. The editors and researchers who have contributed to the Peninj research project should be commended for a substantial contribution to Early Stone Age and human evolutionary discourse, and especially for bringing Peninj back to the fore as an archaeological site of considerable importance.' -- Nick Taylor Journal of African Archaeology Vol. 9, No. 1, 2011 This impressive monograph reports on ten years of fieldwork and analysis by a Spanish team, under the direction of Manuel Dominguez Rodrigo, in East Africa.' -- Paola Villa, University of Colorado Museum Journal of Anthropological Research 2011 Author InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
