| Research Abstract |
As the report (in English) of our investigation of the archaeological and geological data obtained during our field research done in 1989 and 1990 in the Republic of Kenya and in the United Republic of Tanzania has been published, this abstract shows a brief summary of the publication. Takashi Inada, summing up the results of his archaeological research at the Mgongo site in the Iringa District (Tazania) points out the feasible contemporaneity of the late Acheulean remains and the Levallois technique at the site. Shomei Okada s geological study of the same site draws a conclusion which supports the contemporaneity hypothesis of T. Inada. The Mgongo paleolithic study is improved remarkably by their careful investigation. Shinobu Mori analyzes the geological data obtained at the Mtongwe site in the Mombasa District (Kenya) through the methods which have been applied already, but first employs radio carbon dating to get the absolute chronology of the prehistoric activities at the site. Takeshi Kawai makes through investigation of the lithic remains excavated or collected at the same site and sites around Mtongwe. Their studies nearly finalize the archaeological and geological characteristics of the Mtongwe site. In addition to these articles based on field researches, Akira Orikasa reports the Oldowan and Acheulean remains collected by L. S. B. Leakey in 1931 and now in the possession of the National Museum of Tanzania.
