Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse
The CRC 806 research programm followed possible transects of Homo sapiens migration from East Africa to Western Eurasia, and focused, during the first half of the funding period, on fieldwork in Eastern and Northern Africa, the Middle East and Iberia, central and southeastern Europe, later on intensifying integration and modelling approaches, during the second half of the funding period. In East Africa the CRC fieldwork focused on drilling of freshwater lakes and archaeological excavations. The drillings (e.g. Chew Bahir Basin) resulted in severe draughts identified particularly during cold phases, and the excavations demonstrated the importance of high-mountain habitats since 300 ka (Mt. Dendi, 3000 m.a.s.l.) and of innovations occuring as early as 55,000 years ago, in these mountain areas (possible bow-and-arrow technology at Mochena Borago (2300 m a.s.l.). By contrast, the Egyptian record does not display any indication of rapid cultural change at this time. CRC excavation of Sodmein Cave yielded the only long record in Egypt (MIS 5 to MIS 3), Egyptian MIS 3 stone tool assemblages comparing better to near Eastern examples then to East African ones. In the Middle East, long lake records from the Dead Sea and elsewhere illustrate the last 130 ka, e.g. by pollen data: forest expansion at 130 to 70 ka (MIS 5) may have hampered northwards human migration to the Northern Levant. The regional settlement record of the Wadi Sabra/Jordan (particularly between 50 and 15 ka BP) compares, in its earlier part, well to the Egyptian record, but at around 45,000 years ago possible contacts had broken up. For southeastern Europe, research carried out on speleothemes attested for dramatic cooling during the MIS 3. Sites cluster around hilly landscapes and mountain escarpments excavated by the CRC at the Timis valley (Carpathic mountains). By contrast to our findings in southeastern Europe, early modern humans did not cross the Strait of Gibraltar, CRC research illustrating the reasons of its barrier role on both sides of the strait. In Central Europe, CRC research contributed mainly to the knowledge of the late Middle Palaeolithic, with a new Neanderthal province added to the record, fairly known previously: southeastern Bavaria and lower Austria. Central European CRC research extended our focus to later periods: the resettlement of Central Europe after the LGM and population dynamics connected with the Neolithic, with a special focus onto human mobility within sedentary societies. Finally, the CRC teams followed modelling approaches at different scales, such as, at the uppermost scale, building the “Our-Way-Model” (OWM) simulating climatic impact on dispersal and retreat of human populations. The OWM corroborated findings of Homo sapiens dispersal having accelerated during harsh mid-MIS 3 climatic conditions then undergoing a major extension phase during the subsequent interstadial.
