Olorgesailie - Archeological Studies of a Middle Pleistocene Lake Basin in Kenya First Edition by Glynn Llywelyn Isaac and Barbara Isaac
Olorgesailie is an East African archeological site whose fossils and artifacts--roughly 400,000 to 700,000 years old--have yielded crucial evidence on an early stage of human adaptation. Glynn Ll. Issac, working with encouragement from Doctors Louis and Mary Leakey, studied artifacts in relation to their function in particular activities and weighed evidence from food refuse, settlement patterns, and hunting practices to postulate aspects of the ecological, economic, and sociological context of Middle Pleistocene life. With the help of Barbara Issac, Glynn Isaac provides precise, meticulous descriptions of the data, numerous tables, live drawings, figures, and plates to serve as a firm base for his thought-provoking hypotheses on the nature of the prehistoric environment.
