Archaeology and ichnology at Gombore II-2, Melka Kunture, Ethiopia: everyday life of a mixed age hominin group 700,000 years ago
2018
AbstractWe report the occurrence at 0.7 million years (Ma) of an ichnological assemblage at Gombore II-2, which is one of several archaeological sites at Melka Kunture in the upper Awash Valley of Ethiopia, 2000 m asl. Adults and children potentially as young as 12 months old left tracks in a silty substrate on the shore of a body of water where ungulates, as well as other mammals and birds, congregated. Furthermore, the same layers contain a rich archaeological and palaeontological record, confirming that knapping was taking place in situ and that stone tools were used for butchering hippo carcasses at the site. The site gives direct information on hominin landscape use at 0.7 Ma and may p…

The value of local climate and weather information: an economic valuation of the decentralised meteorological provision in Kenya
2020
The development of Sub-Saharan Africa will become increasingly constrained by the acute climate sensitivity of livelihood practices. Weather and climate services can improve climate risks to development by informing plans and decisions that ultimately reduce losses/maximize beneficial opportunities from climate variability and change. Yet, such services are typically highly aggregated, and notoriously difficult to communicate, especially to smallholder farmers and pastoralists where the need is greatest. Kenya Meteorological Department (KMD) are decentralizing service provision, and in so doing, offering disaggregated, contextualized, and more easily understandable localized weather and sea…

I sistemi delle classi d’età. Il contributo teorico di Bernardo Bernardi e la loro riscoperta contemporanea in chiave identitaria e patrimoniale
2020
This chapter considers Bernardi’s contribution to two different processes of traditional institutions revival in East Africa. He was the main ethnographer of the Mugwe, a traditional dignitary of the Meru of Kenya, that ceased to exist soon after his field work. He used the attribution ‘failing prophet’ in the title of the first edition of his book, changed into ‘blessing prophet’ in the following edition, having in the meanwhile registered a growing symbolic consideration for the institution. The history of the gadaa generational class system of the Oromo is intertwined with the Oromo liberation struggle. The institution never disappeared entirely, having remained operative among the Oromo…
Sensibilité des rendements agricoles potentiels aux paramètres climatiques et environnementaux dans la région du mont Kenya en Afrique de l’Est.
2013
7 pages; International audience; Comprendre les interactions existantes entre le climat et les rendements céréaliers est un objectif important pour l'actuelleproduction agricole et la sécurité alimentaire future des populations résidant dans des régions à agriculture pluviale. Lesrendements potentiels de sorgho simulés par le modèle SARRAH montrent une sensibilité aux paramètres climatiques etenvironnementaux le long des pentes orientales du Mont Kenya. Si le cumul et la durée de saison expliquent une part importante dela variabilité des rendements, d’autres variables comme l’intensité quotidienne, les Tmax ou encore le rayonnement global jouentun rôle non négligeable. La date de semis modu…
