Furthermore, although BB shares a technological “background” with early Middle Pleistocene sites, there are some technological differences, particularly in the types of large-shaped tools, that cannot be explained solely by the specific contexts of each site.

This, along with the evidence of a non-linear evolution in core knapping strategies during the late Early Pleistocene and early Middle Pleistocene, points to the existence of migratory flows involving different population waves. In this scenario, BB may represent an early dispersal of the Acheulean from Africa around 1.4 million years ago, which may be related with ‘Ubeidiya.
