The variation came from different adaptation to diverse environments spread from tropical zone to cold Arctic zone and from evolutionary branched off from original populations. In spite of some claims, Early or Lower Paleolithic sites are very sparse north of mid-latitude zone, horizontal zone of mid-latitude in northern hemisphere from Caspian Sea-Caucasus Mts. to Korean peninsula where some earliest evidence of early men have been found. It is not clear yet whether early men could moved to northern part of Institute of East Asian Archaeology, Korea Email: [email protected] - 1 - Asian continent in early stage of evolution after arrival at the Caucasus mountains as appeared at the Demanisi site, from African continent. While, it became evident that early men moved to the hottest tropical area in early stage of dispersal in East Asia, possibly older than 1.5 mya as observed at the Sangiran site in Java. The evidence from the Sangiran site indicate early men evolved for a long time in the area up to quite late part of the Middle Pleistocene. Early men in Java, Sangiran and other sites in the island, The long sequence of evolution of Homo erectus in Java represented in various human fossils is often divided to three different sub-stages of the species in the island. Although some occasional finds of stone tools claimed early Paleolithic in the tropical South East Asia, evidence has been very scares in this are until very late stage of human evolution, Late Paleolithic and Hoabinian industry. Further North from the tropical south East Asia, more evidence of early stage of lithic industries, Acheulean, appeared along with hominin fossils in South Aisa, especially in the Indian sub-continent. In spite of various hypothetical explanations of patterns of stone industries in tropical Southeast Asia, it is reasonable to assume that adaptive processes in early stage of human evolution in this area did not require extensive use of stone tools or elaborate tools, possibly due to heavy reliance to collections from biomass above ground. Some of the groups of the early men in East Asia moved to North, up to northeastern China as observed at many sites in the Nihewan valley. Stone industries found in the area are considered as old as 1.5 mya. Range of current date indicates human dispersal from South did not take long time. As human moved toward North in Lower Pleistocene,stone tool making was increased to adapt to diverse ecosystems consisted with mosaic patterns of patch local ecological zones. More elaborate tools, such as Chongoknian handaxes, appeared - 2 - in the Middle Pleistocene in many different areas in China and Korea. Considering the route of human dispersal in East Asia and scarcity of handaxe and other types of stone tools in tropical area, handaxes in East Asia is has been sometimes mentioned as a result of convergence of cultural evolution. Independent evolution of handaxe in East Asia presumably explains somewhat different pattern of handaxe in technology and frequency of presence. It has not been clearly established for evolution of early Homo sapiens in Asia, especially in East Asia. Terms of archaic Homo , Homo heidelbergensis, archaic Homo sapiens and derived Homo erectus etc have been used for describing human fossils which show some transient characteristics from Homo erectus to sapiens. Considering relative consistent presence of Homos in Java, regional evolution cannot be eliminated in this region, however not possible to be proven clearly on current evidence. Conservatism in stone tool technology make it very difficult to reconstruct any evolutionary process of hominin behavior though time until new technology appeared in each region in late part of Upper Pleistocene. Therefore, it is more and more common to use two sub-stages of Paleolithic Age in stead of 'three sub-stages', Lower, Middle and Upper. It is also interesting question that how far toward East Levallois technique moved from the Altai region where it is found before appearance of blade technology in association of Homo neanderthalensis in some sites such as the Denisova cave. Up to present, no clear levallois technique has been observed in stone industries in East Asia in spite of occasional claims. Absence of this technology may be related with lack of typical Acheulean bifaces in this region. Although the term of 'Middle Paleolithic' is often referred in many texts, it does not mean that any clear technological evolution including prepared flaking technique such as levallois is observed in stone industries. - 3 - Remarkable contrast of patterns of lithic technology has been observed between in South and in North in Asia during the Upper Paleolithic. Blade and micro-blade technology have been observed in North of Asian continent, while no or very few such technology has been reported in southeast Asian and southern part of China. Blade technology moved from Altai region to the Korean peninsula and Japanese archipelago via

Hayes III THE BULLETIN July, 1961 Number 22 ************************************************************************************* Date Lines The National Bureau of Standards in January set 5760 years as, the new, more accurate half-life of Carbon 14. This is almost 200 years more than the half-life of 5568 formerly used in calculating CI4 dates. Without rendering unusable the dates already published, the longer half -life weights the probabilities heavily toward the plus or older extreme. Thus a date given as 10,000 ± 250 years, using the longer half-life, is much more likely to be 10,250 years than 9750. Applying the above information to the date of 9652B. C. ± 600 years obtained from the Raddatz Rock Shelter in Wisconsin excavated and reported by Warren L. Wittry in "Wisconsin Archaeologist", Vol. 40, No. 2, we can see that primal occupation of this site approaches 12,000 years. It yielded an "Archaic" type of material described by Wittry (see NYSAA Bulletin 19) as falling into pattern with that of Modoc Rock Shelter in Illinois which, in its lowest level, using the longer C14 half-life, dates at about 11,000 years. The geology of Raddatz, as interpreted by Robert F. Black, shows that the vicinity became permanently ice-free and non-boreal about 10,000 years ago and soil levels thereafter lie in simple chronological super position.

Early Members of the Genus Homo Bonnie Yoshida-Levine Ph.D., Grossmont College Learning Objectives • Describe how early Pleistocene climate change influenced the evolution of the genus Homo. • Identify the characteristics that define the genus Homo. • Describe the skeletal anatomy of Homo habilis and Homo erectus based on the fossil evidence. • Assess opposing points of view about how early Homo should be classified. Describe what is known about the adaptive strategies of early members of the Homo genus, including tool technologies, diet, migration patterns, and other behavioral trends.The boy was no older than 9 when he perished by the swampy shores of the lake. After death, his slender, long-limbed body sank into the mud of the lake shallows. His bones fossilized and lay undisturbed for 1.5 million years. In the 1980s, fossil hunter Kimoya Kimeu, working on the western shore of Lake Turkana, Kenya, glimpsed a dark colored piece of bone eroding in a hillside. This small skull fragment led to the discovery of what is arguably the world’s most complete early hominin fossil—a youth identified as a member of the species Homo erectus. Now known as Nariokotome Boy, after the nearby lake village, the skeleton has provided a wealth of information about the early evolution of our own genus, Homo (see Figure 10.1).

THE BOBBS-MERRILL REPRINT SERIES IN ANTHROPOLOGY Prod, No, 69094 Man-Land Relationships of Acheulian Hunter-Gatherers Karl W. Butzer TOOLMAKING TRAOITIONS OF THE EARLY AND MIDDLE PLEISTOCENE The primary record of prehistoric man during the long span of mid­ Pleistocene time is provided by stone artifacts. TM earliest stan­ dardized toolmaking tradition known today is represented among the middle and upper strata of Bed II at Olduvai Gorge (M.D. Leakey, 1967). The most notable implements, which are replicated in consid­ erable numbers, are hand-axes. These are made from large flakes or pebbles, on which a significant portion of the circl/mference has been trimmed from two surfaces to produce a sharp edge. Trimming usually extends far back from the edges of such tools and often covers most or all of both opposed surfaces. As a consequence, hand-axes are frequently known as "bifaces" (=two-faced implements). Generally, when a hand-axe is viewed in plan, one end will be relatively pointed (see Fig. 66, [1 and 2]), while the other (called the "butt") may be rounded and sometimes completely unworked. Most hand-axes are eas­ ily recognized as man-made artifacts, and have therefore been subject to uncontrolled collecting for almost a century. For better or for worse these implements have become the index fossil of the Lower Paleolithic of Europe, and of the Earlier Stone Ages of Africa and India. It is, in fact, common to speak of "hand-axe industries," almost all of which are generally grouped within the Acheulian "culture" or-better-industrial tradition.

Tin Htut Aung 1. INTRODUCTION The Palaeolithic cultural assemblage of Myanmar offers two main reasons to motivate archaeologists’ interest. The first is the location of the country, which lies at an intermediate geographical position between South and Southeast Asia. Ever since scholars discovered the remains of Homo erectus in both China and Indonesia, Myanmar has been considered as one of the possible early human migration routes from continental to insular Southeast Asia. This was the main reason the American Southeast Asiatic Expedition for Early Man conducted work in the central belt of the country (de Terra et al., 1943: 267). Moreover, recent studies (Oppenheinmer, 2009; Marwick, 2009) based on genetic (Macaulay et al., 2005; Li et al., 2015) and geographic analyses (Field, Petraglia, and Lahr, 2007) have proposed that Myanmar was likely as one of the important routes for early human dispersal from west to southeast in Asia. The second reason is the stone tool assemblages of Myanmar themselves, since these tools are attributed to the Palaeolithic, and they play an important role in correlating archaeological data with early human activities and migration.

    NYAME AKUMA No. 3 1 EDITORIAL This will be the last number produced under my editorship. I have decided, after producing ten numbers since 1982, that it is time for someone else to take over. I am pleased to announce that Dr. John R.F. Bower of Iowa State University has agreed to assume the editorship effective immediately, and will thus be responsible for Number 32. Dr. Bower has a long record of involvement in African archaeology and was also a professional editor at Rand McNally for five years. He thus brings to Nvame Akuma the required expertise to continue what Peter and Ama Shinnie began. Bower will have far greater institutional support than was available to me and we both hope that this will make it possible for Nvame Akuma to become a more regular arrival in your mail than has been the case of late. I wish to thank those who have helped me keep Nyame Akuma going over the past eight years. First, and foremost. my thanks go to the conmbutors who have seen this newsletter as the appropriate place in which to publish their reports despite its status as a non-refereed publication. Without their commitment, Nyame Akuma could not exist. Dr. Pamela Willoughby has, since 1985. helped in the daily chores of looking after subscriptions and in other unglamourous tasks. Dr. Mary Jackes has helped in innumerable ways. The staff of the University of Alberta Printing Services, (Bernie Cordell. Bernadette Quenneville, Earl Olsen, Ed Annaka, Linda Ludlow. Douglas Martin and others) have gone far beyond the call of duty to help produce Nvame Akuma and to educate me in the inmcacies of computer-aided publication.

Achievements and experiences of great civilizations, emphasizing major historical figures and epochs, important ideas and religions, and factors of continuity and change. Provides a foundation for understanding our heritage and shared values, and introduces students to the historical forces that have shaped today's world. Introduction: According to Felipe Fernández-Armesto, the author of the textbook assigned for this course, “Civilization is now a discredited word. People have abused it as a name for societies they approve of, which usually means societies that resemble their own. They have also denied the term to cultures they deem alien or lacking in material culture or institutions similar to their own. Or they have misapplied it as the name of a supposedly universal stage of development, even though we have no evidence that societies follow any universal course of development. We can, however, understand a civilization simply as a society that, for good or ill, engages ambitiously with its environment, seeking to remodel the rest of nature to suit human purposes” (pp. 42-43). In this course, we will examine the histories of various “civilizations” through the lens proposed by Fernández-Armesto.

After it was discovered, a series of localities with similar stratigraphic profiles was excavated in 1954. Since then, the artifacts from Dingcun have been classified as a chopper-chopping tool industry assigned to the Late Pleistocene. The authors re- examined the lithic assemblage and carried out an additional field survey at these localities. The local geomorphologic background and especially the Chinese loess-paleosol sequence re-define the chro- nology of the site. Uranium-series dates on mammal teeth are 160 kae210 ka. Hence, the site is re- assigned to the late Middle Pleistocene. The Dingcun lithic assemblage is also re-classified as Late Acheulian, characterized by classic Acheulian tools such as handaxes, cleavers, and picks, with the addition of some light-duty tools, including scrapers, notches, borers and denticulates.

The exact locale was Trinil river bed in central java, and its common name assigned is “Java man”. The materials found were: a skull cap, a complete femur, three teeth, and a jaw fragment. This specimen was formerly referred to as “Pithecanthropus erectus” meaning an apeman who could walk straight. The femur found among the other materials showed prominent linea aspera, a criterion for erect posture and bipedalism while the skull cap denoted brain volume as that of present day apes. The dating of this fossil is middle pleistocene about 500,000 years ago.
