Temporal light artefacts (TLAs) are undesired effects in the visual perception of a human observer induced by temporal light modulations. Two well-known examples of such unwanted effects are flicker and stroboscopic effect. Flicker is a directly visible light modulation at relatively low frequencies (< 80 Hz) and small intensity modulation levels.
At the time of discovery, the oldest fire clay artifacts dated to 6,000 to 10,000 years old, and the oldest simple human depiction, the Venus of Tan-Tan, was only about 300,000 to 500,000 years old. [1] Additionally, the first humans were estimated to have come to the Americas with recent findings dating between 25,000 and 27,000 years ago. [13]
Lomekwi is an archaeological site located on the west bank of Turkana Lake in Kenya.It is an important milestone in the history of human archaeology. An archaeological team from Stony Brook University in the United States discovered traces of Lomekwi by chance in July 2011, and made substantial progress four years after in-depth excavations.
The lower layers of the cave were later dated to 92,000 years ago, [28] and a series of hearths, several human bodies, flint artifacts (side scrapers, disc cores, and points [29]), animal bones (gazelle, horse, fallow deer, wild ox, and rhinoceros [29]), a collection of sea shells, lumps of red ochre, and an incised cortical flake were found.

Up to about 80 Hertz or the flicker fusion threshold it is called visible flicker. From about 80 Hertz to 2000 Hertz it is called the stroboscopic effect (this article). Overlapping in frequency, but from 80 Hertz up to about 6500 Hertz a third effect exists called the phantom array effect or the ghosting effect , an optical phenomenon caused ...

In visual perception, flicker is a human-visible change in luminance of an illuminated surface or light source which can be due to fluctuations of the light source itself, or due to external causes such as due to rapid fluctuations in the voltage of the power supply (power-line flicker) or incompatibility with an external dimmer.
The lack of other evidence of human activity (e.g. human or animal remains, or non-tool artifacts). The deep antiquity of the site (the next oldest date for human artifacts in the Americas is 30,000 BP, and that date itself is controversial). The sheer number of possible tools, up to 60,000 by one account. [6]
