PLoS ONE 17(10):Įditor: Raven Garvey, University of Michigan, UNITED STATES (2022) Homo sapiens lithic technology and microlithization in the South Asian rainforest at Kitulgala Beli-lena ( c. Foraging behaviour is characterised by the use of lithic bipolar by-products together with osseous projectile points for the consistent targeting of semi-arboreal/arboreal species, allowing for the widespread and recurrent settlement of the wet zone of Sri Lanka.Ĭitation: Picin A, Wedage O, Blinkhorn J, Amano N, Deraniyagala S, Boivin N, et al. 45,000 to 8,000 years BP, a pattern documented in other rainforest locations. Stone tool analyses demonstrate long-term technological stability from c. Our analysis indicates in situ lithic production and the recurrent use of the bipolar method for the production of microliths. Here, we provide detailed study of the lithic assemblages of Kitulgala Beli-lena, a recently excavated rockshelter preserving a sedimentary sequence from the Late Pleistocene to the Holocene. Information on technological approaches used by human populations in rainforest habitats is restricted to two cave sites, Batadomba-lena and Fa-Hien Lena. For that, it is required to submit separate applications.Recent archaeological investigations in Sri Lanka have reported evidence for the exploitation and settlement of tropical rainforests by Homo sapiens since c.
