Geochemical composition of source obsidians from Kenya
Obsidian types from Holocene sites around Lake Turkana, and other localities in northern Kenya
Obsidian sources and patterns of source utilization in Kenya and northern Tanzania
Rapid Chemical Characterization of Obsidian Artifacts by Electron Microprobe Analysis
The potential of the electron microprobe to analyse chemically obsidian artifacts for source provenance studies is demonstrated using artifacts from four archaeological sites in Kenya
The Date of the Cremated Burials in Njoro River Cave
One of the first radiocarbon tests for an East African site was run at Yale in the 1950s on charcoal submitted from Louis and Mary Leakey's excavation in 1938 of the mass cremated burials in Njoro River Cave, in the elevated section of the Kenya Rift Valley. This test gave a date of about 1,000 BC for the burials and the rich ‘neolithic’ assemblage, believed to be allied to, if not an integral part of, the Elmenteitan culture. Since that dating t…

Implications of Border Cave Skeletal Remains for Later Pleistocene Human Evolution [and Comments and Reply]
Recent excavations have helped to clarify the cultural and stratigraphic sequences at Border Cave, and human skeletal remains recovered at this South African site may well be associated with a Middle Stone Age industry. A partial adult cranium is of particular interest, and this was originally described as quite different both from African Negro and from Bushman individuals. Eleven measurements were taken on the fossil, and these provide a basis …
Aspects of the Size and Shape Variation of the East African Stone Bowls
This article presents the results of a simple quantitative analysis of a large number of the East African stone bowls. The analysis indicates that stone bowls at individual sites tend to cluster about a distinct norm and “modal type”. Further, the norm and the “modal type” can vary greatly between sites. Possible explanations for this type of patterning and its significance are discussed, and it is suggested that the use of simple quantitative an…
