SFB 806 A1: Out of Africa – Late Pleistocene Rock Shelter Stratigraphies and Palaeoenvironments in Northeastern Africa
Project
Project code: DFG SFB 806
Contract period: 01.01.2009
- 31.12.2009
Purpose of research: Basic research
Regional climatic changes and environmental conditions during the Late Pleistocene play a major role in human adaptive behaviour in Northeast Africa. The focus on the interaction and synchronisation of cultural and climatic processes requires a sound archaeological and palaeoenvironmental database as well as multiple lines of analysis. As the two research areas in Ethiopia and Egypt provide different altitudinal, climatic, and geomorphological configurations, a comparison of the regional results offers new aspects to the global discussion of climatic change and human responses.
