Early and Middle Paleolithic sites near Arkin, Sudan

prehistory of nubia; [final report] papers assembled and • [Taos, N.M.] • Published In 1968 • Pages: 110-147

By: Chmielewski, Waldemar.

Abstract

Chmielewski excavated three Middle Paleolithic sites or assemblages around 1965. All three sites were mining and workshop sites where cores or tools were first shaped before being transported elsewhere. At Arkin 5 only 1.58 per cent of the collection were tools, the rest were debitage or cores. The sites do not yet have good dates. The rest of this report covers the Early Paleolithic which is outside of the time period and was not indexed for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) subjects.
