Refitted sequence from our newly discovered site, Chessungalane in Mozambique: Early removals caused the pebble to fracture in half due to natural flaws. Knappers then took advantage of the flat fracture to produce bladelets from the narrow surface. DISPERSALS ERC ICArEHB

Levallois Alert ⚠️ Moving beyond classic metric measurements, Emily Hallinan and João Cascalheira applied a geometric morphometric approach to Nubian Levallois cores, offering novel insights into shape variability at an inter-regional scale ICArEHB. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
