TANKwA – Technological Adaptations of Nubian cores in the Karoo: new geometric morphometric Approaches was a European Union funded research project that ran between 2020 and 2022, investigating stone tool technology in the Tankwa Karoo.
The following pages about the TANKwA project provide an introduction to some big ideas in human evolution, archaeology and stone tool technology. This background supports the main research focus on Nubian technology at the site of Tweefontein in the Tankwa Karoo, South Africa, and the innovative new methods that will be used to investigate this site and the technology globally.
The Research page shares scientific publications, Outreach shares public communication activities, and News shares updates of both.
