[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by zarahan: ^Can anyone post a recapped timeline for the settlement of North Africa? Something like: 80,000 BC- "Methchoid" types 50,000 BC- Migration by Iberian types etc etc [/QUOTE]Again, I don't know of "Iberian" specimens in northwestern Africa, presumably of the LGM era. The Aterian specimens are certainly not representative of such, which are associated with complexes predating the LGM, nor are the EpiPaleolithic so-called "Mechtoid" specimens, which are generally dated [i]onwards[/i] from a period when the LGM was winding down. If either of these specimens have been located in the Iberian peninsula [i]and[/i] dated older than the African examples, as opposed to vice versa, I'd like to examine such material that attests to such state of affairs. The Aterian specimens [many of which are not complete to some degree or another; though the Dar es Soltane 5 and Temara 2 specimens have preserved sufficient cranial elements to use them for reasonably-informative [i]inter-cranial[/i] comparisons] are dated according to the layers in which they were recovered, with carbon-dating ranging from late mid-Paleolithic or early Upper Paleolithic [~ 41 ky ago] to the Upper Paleolithic [30 ky ago +/-]. Several publications had put forth that there was archeological and/or spatial gap between the Aterian groups and the EpiPaleolithic ones, in the main sites where the former had been located--i.e. essentially the [b]period of the LGM[/b]!...although a case--as an exception to the aforementioned--has been made that the specimens found in the Haua Fteah cave in Cyrenaica, Libya, fill in the spatial gap between the Aterian and the EpiPaleolithic record; this has been predicated on the understanding that layers extending from recent era to the EpiPaleolithic collection, along with the Upper Paleolithic Dabban industry to the Libyan pre-Aurignacian complex--named "Mode 4 industry" and the remaining Paleolithic period associated "modern humans", the Levalloiso-Mousterian/Aterian Paleolithic industry, had been identified respectively in the said region. If any of these complexes have been duplicated in the Iberian peninsula, as in the very states that they exist on the African continent, I'd like to hear about the details. [/QB][/QUOTE]
