AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Phillips describes the archaeological work and the analysis of Sites Twelve and Thirteen near Esna, Egypt. The emphasis is on describing the stone tools and lithic technology. These sites are different from each other and from the other sites nearby as the occupants of these two sites hunted the large herd mammals but ignored the aquatic resources near the sites. These sites '...may be evidence of population movements throughout the Sahara during the Final Pleistocene...[and] Sites Twelve and Thirteen may constitute evidence of this movement within the Nile valley... for neither of the lithic assemblages seems to be part of the local traditions...' (page 99).
