“…The record of plant foods eaten by early modern humans prior to about 20 thousand years ago (ka) is only marginally better, with a few studies suggesting the use of starchy plants in the Middle Stone Age (>50 ka) at Ngalue, Mozambique (Mercader, 2009) and in the Sai Island, Sudan (Van Peer et al, 2003). In Europe, starchy plants, and particularly the roots of cattails (Typha spp.…”

“…African archaeological assemblages attest to the importance of grinding-stones for pounding vegetative matter and other materials since the first appearance of anatomically modern humans and continuing into current times (e.g., Ambrose 1998;Clark and Kleindienst 2001;De Beaune 1993;Leakey 1971;Maguire 1965;Rosso et al 2016;Van Peer et al 2003;Yellen et al 1995). There are, of course, differences between the grinding-stone tool repertoires used by foragers during the Middle Stone Age and those used more recently in Africa.…”

“…This pattern has been repeated in other parts of Africa. Sites in the Kapthurin Formation in Kenya, dated to >285 kya (Tryon & McBrearty 2002), and in the Sudan (Van Peer et al 2003), dated at about 200 kya, show the inter-stratification of MSA and Acheulean assemblages, indicating the broad contemporaneity of Levallois with older ESA technologies. Canteen is similar in this respect.…”

“…The significance of the debate has broadened because Levallois has been linked to the migration of a putative modern human ancestor out of Africa (Foley & Lahr 1997). Levallois is also linked to possible developments in cognitive or physical evolution (McBrearty & Brooks 2000;Tryon & McBrearty 2002) accompanying major behavioural changes in hominin lifestyles (Van Peer et al 2003;Barham 2010). Victoria West has been seen as the beginning of unilinear technological evolution toward the Levallois of the MSA (Van Riet Lowe 1945;Rolland 1986).…”
