En este libro se presentan los resultados obtenidos a partir del analisis arqueologico de las huellas de uso documentadas en el material litico asociado al yacimiento achelense de Thiongo Korongo (1,353+/-0,35 Ma.) (Garganta de Olduvai, Tanzania), asi como los datos registrados tras el desarrollo y estudio de la coleccion de referencia experimental. El objetivo de esta investigacion reside en interpretar tanto la gestion tecno-funcional como economica desarrollada por los homininos en el contexto del inicio del Achelense en Africa Oriental en general y del yacimiento de TK en particular. El conjunto de los resultados ha permitido no solo contrastar el procesado de carcasas animales con interes nutricional, sino tambien establecer hipotesis en relacion con la gestion de madera y tuberculos. Ademas, en el conjunto de elementos liticos analizados se incluyen resultados sobre piezas que hasta ahora no habian sido valoradas como artefactos (un fragmento de placa y un chunk).
This book presents results obtained from the archaeological analysis of use traces documented in the lithic material associated with the Acheulean site of Thiongo Korongo (1,353+/-0,35 Ma.) (Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania), as well as the data recorded after the development and study of the experimental reference collection. The aim of this research is to interpret both the techno-functional and economic management developed by hominins in the context of the early Acheulean in East Africa in general and the TK site in particular. The results have made it possible not only to contrast the processing of animal carcasses with nutritional interest, but also to establish hypotheses in relation to the management of wood and tubers. In addition, the set of lithic elements analysed includes results on pieces that until now had not been assessed as artefacts.
