Geochronology and physical context of Oldowan site formation at Kanjera South, Kenya
- Abstract:
-
Oldowan sites in primary geologic context are rare in the archaeological record. Here we describe the depositional environment of Oldowan occurrences at Kanjera South, Kenya, based on field descriptions and granulometric analysis. Excavations there have recovered a large Oldowan artefact sample as well as the oldest substantial sample of archaeological fauna. The deposits at Kanjera South consist of 30 m of fluvial, colluvial, and lacustrine sediments. Magneto- and bio-stratigraphy indica...
