The spread of the Aterian blade in Africa

Abstract EN

North Africa knew the Aterian blade - I think the word is better related to the Ater Well in Algeria - which dates back to the Middle Palaeolithic.

This research paperaimes at shedding light on the spread of thebladeinAfrica.

Aterian blade characterized by the blade guilty instrument or trailing tongue which was used in hunting and possibly in other matters.

This blade was found in North Africaand spreadto the West,South and East Africa.As a result of Middle Palaeolithic’s man moving due to changing of the climate conditions.

It seems that the climate conditions were affecting the Palaeolithic's man's moving to those directions to convey his new culture and knowledge to the people whom he moved to.
