TheLupemban is the name given byarchaeologists to a centralAfricanculture which, though once thought to date between c. 30,000 and 12,000 BC, is now generally recognised to be far older (dates of c. 300,000 have been obtained from Twin Rivers,Zambia and Muguruk,Kenya, respectively). The industry is characterised by the occurrence of bi-facially flakedlanceolate points. It has been postulated that Lupemban tools, being generally distributed within the modern dayCongo forest belt, may have been adapted to woodworking. The lanceolate points are commonly interpreted as being the surviving elements of composite spears.[1][2]
