Abstract

The fauna from the Early Acheulean site of Gombore IB is relatively abundant but quite fragmented. As in the other sites of Melka Kunture, it is dominated by hippos and alcelaphin bovids, followed by equids. Suids are rare, and all other taxa (i.e., rhinos, giraffids, tragelaphins, primates) are virtually absent. In spite of the presence of forested areas nearby, the taphocenosis sampled an open-country faunal assemblage. The fauna resembles that of the nearby site of Garba IVD, but exact contemporaneity is unlikely.

Gombore IB早期阿舍利遗址的动物群相对丰富,但相当分散。与梅尔卡文化遗址的其他遗址一样,这里主要是河马和牛腱龙,其次是马科动物。Suids是罕见的,所有其他分类(即犀牛,长颈鹿,石雕,灵长类动物)几乎都不存在。尽管附近有森林地区,但taphocenosis取样的是一个开放的乡村动物群落。这些动物群与附近的加尔巴IVD遗址相似,但确切的时间不太可能。

期刊介绍: Quaternary International is the official journal of the International Union for Quaternary Research. The objectives are to publish a high quality scientific journal under the auspices of the premier Quaternary association that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of INQUA and records recent advances in Quaternary science that appeal to a wide audience. This series will encompass all the full spectrum of the physical and natural sciences that are commonly employed in solving Quaternary problems. The policy is to publish peer refereed collected research papers from symposia, workshops and meetings sponsored by INQUA. In addition, other organizations may request publication of their collected works pertaining to the Quaternary.
