目前的早期原始人生物和文化进化模型几乎完全是由东非裂谷系统(EAR)过去几十年积累的数据形成的。相比之下,人们对裂谷两侧高海拔地区的考古记录知之甚少。Melka Wakena是一个新发现的遗址综合体,位于埃塞俄比亚东南部高地(高于平均海平面2300米),就在埃塞俄比亚主要裂谷(MER)中央部分的东部,迄今在那里发现了8个考古地点和2个古生物地点。到目前为止,来自三个地方的九个考古层位被测试,都可以追溯到早更新世的后半段(∼1.6到>0.7 Ma)。所有的岩屑组合都属于太古代的技术杂岩。在这里,我们报告了测试地点的地质年代学、地层学、古生物学和岩石学技术方面的情况,并将它们置于东非原始人文化演变的更广泛框架中。梅尔卡·瓦凯纳的调查结果与其他几个高地遗址(梅尔卡·昆图尔和加德布)的背景进行了评估,支持从裂谷向高地扩张而不是扩散的情景。在裂谷-高地界面的背景下考虑,Melka Wakena的第一阶段研究结果有助于将现有的一般模型解析为考古上可测试的假说,并展示该遗址对早期史前研究和了解东非早更新世人类种群动态的潜力。
Current models of early hominin biological and cultural evolution are shaped almost entirely by the data accumulated from the East African Rift System (EARS) over the last decades. In contrast, little is known about the archaeological record from the high-elevation regions on either side of the Rift. Melka Wakena is a newly discovered site-complex on the Southeastern Ethiopian Highlands (SEH) (>2300 m above mean sea level) just east of the central sector of the Main Ethiopian Rift (MER), where eight archaeological and two paleontological localities were discovered to date. Nine archaeological horizons from three localities were tested so far, all dated to the second half of the early Pleistocene (∼1.6 to >0.7 Ma). All the lithic assemblages belong to the Acheulian technocomplex. Here we report on geochronological, stratigraphic, paleontological and lithic technological aspects of the tested localities and contextualize them in the broader framework of hominin cultural evolution in eastern Africa. Findings from Melka Wakena, assessed against the backdrop of the few other highland sites (Melka Kunture and Gadeb), support a scenario of expansion rather than dispersal from the Rift to the highlands. When considered in the context of the Rift-highlands interface, results of the first-phase research at Melka Wakena help to parse existing general models into archaeologically testable hypotheses and demonstrate the site’s potential to contribute to research of early prehistory and to understanding the dynamics of early Pleistocene hominin populations in eastern Africa.
