The origin of early Acheulean expansion in Europe 700 ka ago: new findings at Notarchirico (Italy)

Abstract Notarchirico (Southern Italy) has yielded the earliest evidence of Acheulean settlement in Italy and four older occupation levels have recently been unearthed, including one with bifaces, extending the roots of the Acheulean in Italy even further back in time. New 40Ar/39Ar on tephras and E...
