The paper represents an important step towards recognising cultural diversity in this part of Africa around 10,000 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors present the results of analyses of materials from the Letti Desert 2 campsite (8th millennium BC), which reveal a distinct lithic production tradition differing from previously known Mesolithic assemblages of the region. The use of raw materials other than quartz, combined with a characteristic composite tool-making technique, indicates the existence of an independent cultural entity, interpreted by the researchers as proto-pastoral groups. According to the authors, these communities arrived in the Nile Valley from the central Sahel, migrating along wadi systems together with herds of wild or partially domesticated cattle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new findings in lithic technology continue the research themes presented earlier this year by Prof. Osypi\u0144ska in the <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0305440325000512?fbclid=IwY2xjawJFLX1leHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHaOSHbIUJo-UwSN9xiPK29LOGkDsL4wQYeOs4-PhlSNcWU5QMuPV3bxXwg_aem_aAx51wVhLaceUhjGv2abFQ\">Journal of Archaeological Science<\/a><\/em> and complement the anthropometric data published in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/doi\/10.1073\/pnas.2419122122\">PNAS<\/a><\/em>, to which she also contributed as a co-author.
