The chapters are the proceedings from the workshop titled The Emergence of the Acheulean in East Africa held at University of Rome La Sapienza on September 12-13 2013. The aim of the workshop was to bring together researchers currently working in this field in East Africa in order to define the characteristics and the evolution of the early Acheulean. The volume was expanded with some chapters on the preceding Oldowan on the African fauna and on paleovegetation on the Acheulean in Asia and eventually on the Acheulean in Europe. The book is addressed to the scientific community and will be of interest to researchers graduate students archaeologists paleontologists and paleoanthropologists.
