ABSTRACT Dendi Lake Rockshelter is situated about 100 km west of Addis Ababa on the west-central part of the Ethiopian Plateau in the Ginchi woreda of Ethiopia’s Oromiya regional state. In October 2012, a team from the University of Cologne excavated a test-trench that revealed four archaeological complexes that could clearly be distinguished on a typological basis as well as by radiocarbon dates. This article focuses on the lithic artefacts recovered from the excavation and specifically the microliths that are one of the main characteristics of the Later Stone Age. Their high variability in this assemblage is a common feature of contemporaneous sites in the Horn of Africa. The rockshelter is situated in a high-altitude Afromontane forest and was most probably used for short-term stays by groups of hunters.

海拔较高的Afromontane森林的狩猎者–埃塞俄比亚登迪山的全新世时期

摘要登迪湖Rockshelter位于埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚地区州Ginchi世界的埃塞俄比亚高原中西部亚的斯亚贝巴以西约100公里。2012年10月，科隆大学的一个团队发掘了一个测试沟渠，发现了四个考古学复合体，可以根据类型学和放射性碳年代清楚地区分。本文重点介绍从挖掘中回收的石器文物，尤其是微石块，这是后期石器时代的主要特征之一。它们在这种组合中的高度可变性是非洲之角同期遗址的共同特征。岩棚位于海拔较高的Afromontane森林中，最有可能被一群猎人用于短期停留。
