Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
To be dateable by TL flint must be heated to at least 450 #C. The TL properties of flint are briefly reviewed. While human fire may be as old as half a million years, the first true hearths appear late during the Lower Palaeolithic period. At Terra-Amata, one of the oldest hearths discovered in France was dated to 230 ± 40 ka BP. By the dawn of the Middle Palaeolithic fire must have become fully domesticated, judging by the accumulations of charred debris that henceforth litter human habitats. For example, at the Middle Palaeolithic site of Kebara the profusion of hearths is vividly illustrated by numerous superimposed white ash and black charcoal layers extending to a depth of 4m.
