Abstract(s)

Nubian Levallois technology has become a prominent and hotly debated topic in current Palaeolithic discourse, with important arguments surrounding modern human dispersals, cultural interactions and technological innovations resting on the presence of Nubian cores in lithic assemblages. However, not all published instances of Nubian cores fulfil their strict technological criteria, with resultant implications for how their presence in space and time is interpreted. To address this, this dataset compiles a been reported. Each case is presented with key contextual information synthesized.
