Mammalian Remains from the Isimila Prehistoric Site, Tanzania

HOWELL et al. have reported¹ the results of uranium-series dating of bone from the Isimila prehistoric site, Tanzania. Preliminary identifications of fragmentary mammalian remains recovered during the first excavations at the site (1957-58) were reported in the interim report on the site². These specimens, which are now housed in the National Museum Centre for Pre-history and Palaeontology, Nairobi (but will in future be preserved in the National Museum, Dar-es-Salaam), are discussed more fully here.
