我们报道了距今70万年(Ma)的冈博尔II-2遗迹,这是位于埃塞俄比亚上瓦瓦什河谷的梅尔卡库图里的几个考古遗址之一,海拔2000米。可能只有12个月大的成年人和儿童在水体岸边的粉质底物上留下了足迹,有蹄类动物以及其他哺乳动物和鸟类聚集在那里。此外,这些地层包含丰富的考古和古生物记录,证实了在现场进行了打节,并使用了石器在现场屠宰河马身体。该网站提供了0.7 Ma的原始人类景观使用的直接信息,并可能为我们祖先的童年提供新的视角。
We report the occurrence at 0.7 million years (Ma) of an ichnological assemblage at Gombore II-2, which is one of several archaeological sites at Melka Kunture in the upper Awash Valley of Ethiopia, 2000 m asl. Adults and children potentially as young as 12 months old left tracks in a silty substrate on the shore of a body of water where ungulates, as well as other mammals and birds, congregated. Furthermore, the same layers contain a rich archaeological and palaeontological record, confirming that knapping was taking place in situ and that stone tools were used for butchering hippo carcasses at the site. The site gives direct information on hominin landscape use at 0.7 Ma and may provide fresh perspective on the childhood of our ancestors.
