The Nubian Spectrum: 3D Geometric Morphometric Perspectives on Levallois Core Reduction at Tweefontein, South Africa - Journal of Paleolithic Archaeology
Journal of Paleolithic Archaeology - Prepared core technology is a defining feature of the Middle Stone Age (MSA) in Africa, yet classic preferential Levallois cores are rare in many southern...
