This project aims to improve our understanding of the nature, timing and climatic context of early human expansion into SW Asia, from a new extensive archaeological complex with associated palaeoenvironmental sequences on the Arabian Peninsula – a strategic out-of-Africa migratory corridor. It will combine innovative approaches in archaeology, geochronology and palaeoenvironmental research to evaluate the environmental and cultural adaptability of early desert settlement, providing critical new insights into globally significant human dispersal debates spanning multiple continents, including Australia. The aim is a fundamental new perspective on long-term human occupation dynamics of deserts and new understanding of regional dispersals.

该项目的目的是从新的广泛的档案综合体，与阿拉伯半岛上的相关古环境序列（这是一项战略性的非非洲迁徙走廊），从新的广泛的档案综合体中，我们对人类早期扩张到西南亚的性质，时机和民事环境的理解。它将结合档案，年代学和古环境研究中的创新方法，以评估早期沙漠环境的环境和文化适应性，为包括澳大利亚在内的多个延续的全球重要人类分散辩论提供关键的新见解。目的是对沙漠长期人类职业动态的基本新观点以及对区域散布的新理解。
