The archaeology of the Peninj «ST Complex» : Lake Natron, Tanzania

Abstract

Este artículo está sujeto a una licencia CC BY 4.0Presently, research at Peninj (West of Lake Natron, Tanzania) is being carried out in three geographical areas: North Escarpment (NE), South Escarpment (SE) and Type Section (Figure 1). The first two areas are more distant to the former paleo-lake than the latter. In those two areas, sites devoid of fauna and containing Acheulian stone tools have been discovered. Type Section is, conversely, situated in a deltaic paleoenvironment close to the former lake shoreline. Sites in Type Section preserve dense concentrations of bones and lithic tools adscribed to the Oldowan industry.Peer reviewe
