Description

Reconstructing Olduvai: The Behavior of Early Humans at David's Site provides the necessary information for future generations of archaeologists to peer into the lifestyle of early humans.

Much of what is known about these hominins originates from the detailed excavations that Mary Leakey carried out at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania.

Since then, work at Olduvai has produced a wealth of new fossils, resulting in the discovery of David's Site, the biggest early Pleistocene site in the world.

This will be an indispensable resource for students, academics, and researchers who share an interest in the evolution of early human behavior. Written by leaders of present-day excavations at Olduvai Gorge, this book is systematically divided into three parts to deliver a clear account of the research advancements at David's Site.

Part I focuses on the presentation of the site and the description of its geological and palaeoecological reconstruction.

Part II examines hominin feeding habits, including how they brought, processed, and consumed animals at the site.

Part III explores hominin technologies, including reconstruction of the stone-tool activities carried out at the site.
