Centre for the Archaeology of Human Origins (CAHO)

Description

The Centre for the Archaeology of Human Origins was founded in 2000 and is based in the Archaeology Department at the University of Southampton, UK. With a broad range of research interests spanning the Lower Palaeolithic through to the Mesolithic, they are a dynamic and varied group, always keen to collaborate and develop new ideas. Current and past research projects have looked at topics such as hominin biomechanics and stone tool morphometrics, the impact of climate and environmental change on hominin dispersals, and submerged Quaternary landscapes from South America to Australia and even the murky waters of the UK.

Made up of current human origins students, researchers and staff, the Centre also has many active alumni members who remain an important part of the group, providing an ever-important network of human origins researchers the world over.
