Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Archaeology

Curtis W. Marean mostly deals with Archaeology, Middle Stone Age, Cave, Paleontology and Carnivore. The concepts of his Archaeology study are interwoven with issues in Mineralogy and Long bone. His research integrates issues of Later Stone Age, Bone tool and Holocene in his study of Middle Stone Age.

His study on Middle Paleolithic is often connected to Context as part of broader study in Cave. His work on Hyaena, Pleistocene and Projectile point as part of general Paleontology study is frequently connected to Cenozoic, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. Curtis W. Marean interconnects Sea level, Glacial period, Submarine pipeline and Bathymetry in the investigation of issues within Pleistocene.

His most cited work include:

  • Early human use of marine resources and pigment in South Africa during the Middle Pleistocene (633 citations)
  • The origin of modern human behavior. (521 citations)
  • Evidence for stone-tool-assisted consumption of animal tissues before 3.39 million years ago at Dikika, Ethiopia (391 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Archaeology, Pleistocene, Middle Stone Age, Ecology and Cave are his primary areas of study. His work on Bay, Stone tool, Paleoanthropology and Prehistory as part of general Archaeology study is frequently linked to Pinnacle, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. His work carried out in the field of Pleistocene brings together such families of science as Glacial period, Last Glacial Maximum and Sea level, Physical geography.

Curtis W. Marean interconnects Later Stone Age and Paleoecology in the investigation of issues within Middle Stone Age. His work carried out in the field of Cave brings together such families of science as Paleontology, Artifact, Holocene and Homo sapiens. In general Paleontology study, his work on Taphonomy and Range often relates to the realm of Hominidae, Sedimentary depositional environment and Bone surface, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Archaeology (38.99%)
  • Pleistocene (41.74%)
  • Middle Stone Age (32.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Pleistocene (41.74%)
  • Physical geography (15.14%)
  • Archaeology (38.99%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Curtis W. Marean spends much of his time researching Pleistocene, Physical geography, Archaeology, Cave and Middle Stone Age. Pleistocene is a subfield of Paleontology that Curtis W. Marean tackles. His Paleontology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Homo sapiens and Shore.

His study in the field of Radiocarbon dating and Neanderthal is also linked to topics like Ejecta, Volcanology and Graffiti. In the subject of general Cave, his work in Speleothem is often linked to Limiting, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Curtis W. Marean has included themes like Later Stone Age, Archaeological record and Foraging in his Middle Stone Age study.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Depositional and sea-level history from MIS 6 (Termination II) to MIS 3 on the southern continental shelf of South Africa (35 citations)
  • Depositional and sea-level history from MIS 6 (Termination II) to MIS 3 on the southern continental shelf of South Africa (35 citations)
  • Middle and Later Stone Age chronology of Kisese II rockshelter (UNESCO World Heritage Kondoa Rock-Art Sites), Tanzania (34 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Ecology
  • Paleontology
  • Archaeology

Curtis W. Marean mainly investigates Pleistocene, Paleontology, Last Glacial Maximum, Archaeology and Physical geography. His Pleistocene study incorporates themes from Speleothem, Cave, Temperate climate, Cape and Homo sapiens. The concepts of his Cave study are interwoven with issues in Westerlies and Shore.

Curtis W. Marean works mostly in the field of Paleontology, limiting it down to concerns involving Continental shelf and, occasionally, Subaerial, Sea level, Sedimentology and Marine isotope stage. His Archaeology and Middle Stone Age and Later Stone Age investigations all form part of his Archaeology research activities. His Middle Stone Age study combines topics in areas such as Prehistory, Restionaceae and Rock shelter.
