Of the over 20 sites yielding Lower Palaeolithic tools the following sites are important for the number of tools found there and for stratigraphic data: HIRE MULANGI (15°55′; 75°23′); ALUR (15°35′; 75°28′); MEGUR-ASOTI (Menasgi) (15°49′; 75°40′); KHYAD (15°51′; 75°43′); and MANERI (15°50′; 75°40′). The deposits are well exposed at TAMINHAL (15°50′; 75°40′), where in the later surveys have been found Middle Palaeolithic [4.3] tools in the gravel overlying the basal gravel containing the Lower Palaeolithic ones.
