Written by leaders of present-day excavations at Olduvai Gorge, this book is systematically divided into three parts to deliver a clear account of the research advancements at David's Site. Part I focuses on the presentation of the site and the description of its geological and palaeoecological reconstruction. Part II examines hominin feeding habits, including how they brought, processed, and consumed animals at the site. Part III explores hominin technologies, including reconstruction of the stone-tool activities carried out at the site.
• Describes the discovery and excavation of David’s Site (DS) at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania • Details the geological and paleoecological reconstruction of all Olduvai Gorge Bed I sites • Summarizes the impact of taphonomic analyses at Bed I sites on our understanding of early human behaviors • Explores the dietary habits and technologies of early Pleistocene hominins
