This project aims to improve our understanding of the nature, timing and climatic context of early human expansion into SW Asia, from a new extensive archaeological complex with associated palaeoenvironmental sequences on the Arabian Peninsula – a strategic out-of-Africa migratory corridor. It will combine innovative approaches in archaeology, geochronology and palaeoenvironmental research to evaluate the environmental and cultural adaptability of early desert settlement, providing critical new insights into globally significant human dispersal debates spanning multiple continents, including Australia. The aim is a fundamental new perspective on long-term human occupation dynamics of deserts and new understanding of regional dispersals.

该项目旨在提高我们对早期人类向亚洲西南部扩张的性质、时间和气候背景的理解，从阿拉伯半岛上一个新的广泛的考古综合体和相关的古环境序列出发，这是一个战略性的非洲移民走廊。它将联合收割机结合考古学、地质年代学和古环境研究的创新方法，评估早期沙漠定居的环境和文化适应性，为跨越包括澳大利亚在内的多个大陆的全球重大人类扩散争论提供重要的新见解。其目的是对沙漠的长期人类占领动态和对区域扩散的新理解提出一个基本的新观点。
