Abstract
ARTEFACTS in type similar to the Chellean, early Acheulean, and Acheulean of the fourth stage of East Africa have been found in situ in ironstone gravel only 5 m. above the present flood plain on the banks of the Khor Abu Anga, a left-bank tributary which joins the Nile a kilometre down-stream from the confluence of the Blue and White Niles. Late Acheulean implements and a few artefacts of Levallois type apparently associated with them have also been found on the surface ; and it is hoped before long to find them in situ too.
