Abstract
Lubell et al. argue the hypothesis that the Maghreb Epipaleolithic could have developed in place with a minimum of outside influence. To support their hypothesis they look at archaeological data from sites considered to be in the following traditions: Iberomaurusian, Capsian, Southern Tunisian Bladelet Industry, Columnatian, Elassolithic, Keremian, Eastern Oranian, and Libyco-Capsian of Cyrenaica. They also re-examine some of the osteological data from Iberomaurusian, Capsian, and Columnatian sites to show that these people probably all belonged to the same population and do not indicate migration of new people into the area.
