  Egypt: History - The Middle Paleolithic in Egypt
Aterian points are characterized by a distinct "tang" or plug on the bottom, which allowed for a more secure fit to the spear shaft.
Originally thought to be arrow points, Aterian points may have been far too bulky to be used on primitive arrows, and were more likely points for a smaller variety of spear, the dart, which was more efficient in hunting small game than the normal-sized spear.
Another invention of the Aterian Industry was that of the spear-thrower, a small length of wood with a notch at one end for the back end of the spear shaft, which allowed for greater power in throws as well as greater accuracy.

Aterian sites end about 30,000 years ago when climate change forced the abandonment of most sites when the grasslands of the Sahara began drying up.
In fact, C. Reid Ferring (1975) states that "The Aterian is one of the most widely distributed Paleolithic industries of North Africa." Aterian sites are found in Morocco to Tunisia in the northwest and over much of the Sahara desert almost to the Nile Valley of Egypt to the east.
Aterian tanged points are one of the oldest types projectile points.

With this in mind, the Aterian Project is an MPI effort to integrate the rich fossil hominid record of North Africa, particularly that of Morocco, into the modern human origins debate.
The Aterian Project will produce a new, detailed inventory and description of the existing late Pleistocene hominids from Morocco and conduct a comparative study with relevant fossil material from outside Morocco.
One of the goals of the Aterian project is to characterize the volume, distribution, and developmental of the preserved dental material.

Appearing about 30,000 years ago and persisting until perhaps 18,000 years ago, the Aterian people were apparently the first to recognize Libyan Desert glass and make use of its special properties.
That is, by striking the material a glancing blow with another rock, or baton of wood or bone, flakes may be removed in a predictable fashion so as to produce a variety of efficient cutting edges.
The Aterian people used this property of Libyan Desert glass to their advantage and produced an array of skillfully-flaked implements (See page 4, top).

 Fezzan Project archaeology page
The classification of materials into Acheulian, Mousterian and Aterian is based on typologies from other regions, and there is some overlap between the periods, whose boundaries are the subject of debate.
The Aterian, the latest phase, is characterised by artefacts such as points and blades exhibiting tangs, or short stems at the base of the object, which may have enabled them to be fastened as spear heads or knife points.
Mousterian artefacts are common in the study area, whereas Aterian finds are rare; this is mirrored to the west in the Akakus region of the Fezzan (Cremaschi and Di Lernia, 1998), but is the reverse of the case for other documented Saharan regions.

 HK148b Aterian Hut Site, Har Karkom, Israel, Gallery 1
The Aterian is a later Middle Paleolithic culture of North Africa and the Near East.
Aterian dates include western desert of Egypt (Useries and TL) greater than 100,000 BP; Morocco (C14) greater than 40,000 and 23,700.
Just like the ideal hut of the Guji, whose ancestors might have been Aterians, the HK148b Aterian hut has possibly 7 female figurines on its western side, with possibly 2 such figurines on the north side and none on the south side.

Aterian refers to a Paleolithic culture in northern Africa.
Named after an archaeological site in Bir-el-Ater near the border between Tunisia and Algeria, the Aterians lived around 30,000 BC and are believed to have invented new "tanged" spears that allowed them to hunt small game more efficiently.

As far as I know that is simly an opinion, as he stated also in 2000 that he believed the origin of the Aterian industry would be found there and he named a layer Aterian, but this has not been confirmed as Aterian.
Again unless there is generaly accepted artifacts to establish this prior to the release of the report above, they have still stated the then current mainstream opinion, which makes it true to their statment.
Mainstream isn't always correct and the old view that the Aterian emerged in northwest Africa is no longer the dominant view.

 Atlantis possible source of Cro-Magnon invasions
In North Africa the Mousterian of Neanderthal was replaced by a tool industry called the Aterian, which stretched from Morocco to Tripoli, and southward into the northern portions of the Sahara.
Bruce Howe (1967) of Harvard University states: "The bulk of the datable Aterian appears to be earlier than any European Solutrean." The earliest Aterian exceeds 30,000 years and is concentrated in the west; the latest can be found as far east as the western deserts of Egypt and even to the Nile in Nubia.
The type de Mechta associated with the Aterian, Oranian, and Mouillian has been described as tall, robust, strong-jawed, large-brained, and generally resemble the Cro-Magnons in Europe (Briggs, 1955; Clark, 1970; Coon, 1962; Hiernaux, 1975).
