Contribution à l’évaluation de la variation interne des industries acheuléennes : le cas de Garba I (Melka Kunture, Ethiopie)

Acheuléen lithic industries at Garba I (Melka Kunture, Ethiopia) reveal remarkable standardization and technical mastery. The study identifies a distinct cultural marker—'coup du tranchet'—and highlights the significance of small retouched tools and percussion instruments, suggesting possible links between Acheuléen and Middle Stone Age traditions. Through qualitative analysis of artifact states and knapping techniques, researchers demonstrate how individual craftsmanship influences tool morphology, offering new insights into hominin behaviors at this UNESCO-listed site.
