Figure 2.
Chrono-stratigraphya of selectedb early handaxe-bearing assemblages in East Africa. West Turkana ages from [58]. Konso [59], Gona [60,61], Olduvaic [62], Peninj [46]. aOnly sites with an estimated age of more than 1.2 Myr are included. bBoth Melka Kunture and Gadeb may contain Early Acheulean assemblages around 1.4 Ma (see reviews by [3,63]), but minimum ages are less than 1 Myr [64,65], and therefore these sites are not included in the figure. cManega's [62] dating is here selected over other radiometric results for Tuff IIA [43] and Tuff IID [66], and a regionally uncorrelated tuff (FLKWb) dated at 1.698 Ma [67]. Bars and names in italics refer to local tuffs.
