| 3. | In turn, this technology permitted more efficient hunting such as that demonstrated by the Aterian industry.
|
| 4. | Aterian lithic tools have also been discovered in Middle Paleolithic deposits in Oman and the Thar Desert.
|
| 5. | Assemblages with tanged tools,'the Aterian', therefore have a significant temporal and spatial range.
|
| 6. | Technological improvements such as Aterian methods and the development of new skills helped these people adapt to new landscapes.
|
| 7. | Associated faunal studies suggest that the people making the Aterian exploited coastal resources as well as engaging in hunting.
|
| 8. | It has so far been difficult to estimate whether Aterian populations further inland were exploiting freshwater resources as well.
|
| 9. | Finally, tools of the Egyptian Sebilian technology and an Egyptian version of the Aterian technology were also located.
