Updates from research into the Palaeolithic archaeology and its palaeoenvironmental context in the northern Namib Sand sea... #PANS (funded by The Leverhulme Trust) and #RiVER fieldwork expedition (funded by RGS Thesiger Oman Fellowship)
Thank you!
Alexandra Karamitrou (Southampton) has so far been using PALSAR-2 (following Paillou et al., 2020) to identify former river channels.
I’ll pass this on to her!

And yes, Andrew Gunn’s approaches are awesome! And he worked with us on the Narabeb site. It’s possible to envisage a site without those large complex linear dunes when the lake was first present

Great question!
Palaeolakes/pans: we started with those reported in Shackley (1985) & those noted ‘lithics’ in Teller et al. (1990). Plus small green dots (no outline) are sites George & Dom noted MSA lithics on their long survey walk in 2023… ‘Ridgey Pan’ to south was a ‘let’s go & have a look’
