Luminescence dating of Middle Pleistocene human histories in Europe

该项目旨在利用尖端的年代测定技术，确定早期人类进化的时间、背景和性质以及南欧相关的文化变迁。该项目计划利用最新进展的扩展范围发光测年，建立明确的，多方面的年表，为全面的人类化石和石器遗址从伊比利亚半岛。该项目的成果预计将通过提供一个关键的时间重新评估建模的古人类进化关系，确定文化更替的模式和克里思，并解开过去的人类种群如何应对重大气候变化和环境压力，促进我们对早期人类历史的理解。

This project aims to ascertain the timing, context and nature of early human evolution and associated cultural turnovers in southern Europe using cutting-edge dating techniques. The project plans to use recent advances in extended-range luminescence dating to establish unequivocal, multifaceted chronologies for a comprehensive range of human fossil and stone tool sites from the Iberian Peninsula. The outcomes of this project are expected to advance our understanding of early human history by providing a critical temporal reappraisal of modelled hominin evolutionary relationships, determining the mode and tempo of cultural turnovers, and unravelling how past human populations responded to major climate change and environmental pressures.
