Abstract:This paper reports on results from survey and preliminary test excavations at Middle Stone Age (MSA) and Late Stone Age (LSA) sites along the Songwe River in the Lake Rukwa Rift Valley of southwestern Tanzania. At a former rockshelter (IdIu22), a continuous, extensive archaeological deposit was revealed which may have both Pleistocene and Holocene components. The lithic material here shows a gradual transformation from a flake based LSA assemblage to one employing microburin techniques. Bibliogr., sum. in English and French. [Journal abstract]
