Abstract(s)
From the earliest manifestations of tool production, technologies
have played a fundamental role in the acquisition of different
resources and are representative of daily activities in the
lives of ancient humans, such as hunting (stone-tipped spears)
and meat processing (chipped stone tools) (Lombard 2005;
McPherron et al. 2010; Lombard and Phillipson 2010;
Brown et al. 2012; Wilkins et al. 2012; Sahle et al. 2013;
Joordens et al. 2015; Ambrose 2001; Stout 2001). Yet many
questions remain, such as how and why technological changes
took place in earlier populations, and how technological traditions,
innovations, and novelties enabled hominins to survive
and disperse across the globe (Klein 2000; McBrearty
and Brooks 2000; Henshilwood et al. 2001; Marean et al.
2007; Brown et al. 2012; Režek et al. 2018).
