Eburran industry

Phases

• Phase 1, from 13,000 BCE to around 10,000 BCE, associated with a short, humid climatic period, superseded by a drier climatic period
• Phase 2, from around 7-8,000 BCE, the climate became very humid
• Phase 3, from around 6,000 BCE
• Phase 4, from around 4-5,000 BCE, with unevenly drier climate
• Phase 5, from around 3,000 BCE, the climate was much drier than now. During this last period Eburran tools are also found with ceramics and livestock. It is part of the Pastoral Neolithic in Africa. Before phase 5, Eburran peoples lived by hunting and gathering.
• Around 700 AD, a transformation from the Pastoral Neolithic to the Pastoral Iron Age took place.
