Stretched along the western side of the Turkana Basin, the Nachukui Formation preserves a large number of Plio-Pleistocene archaeological sites. Research carried out by the WTAP documents hominid behavioral evolution and technical diversity, through a time period ranging from 2.35 Myr to 0.7 Myr and within a relatively precise chronostratigraphic and paleoenvironmental frame. This work is based on comprehensive excavations conducted between 1997 and 2001 at the Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene site complexes of the formation. (C) 2003 Academie des sciences.
