Isimila stone age site


"Isimila stone age site is an important archaeological site situated about 20 kilometers from Iringa town, along the road to Mbeya. The site preserves important evidences of our ancestors' activities dating back to over 60,000 ago, groups of nomadic hunters-collectors who used to go to the shores of an ancient and small lake which no longer exists. In the deposits of Isimila central valley there are several tools,  associated to rests of big wild Mammals, especially hippos, preys of Paleolithic hunters. Isimila also  includes an interesting geosite consisting of a deep canyon characterized by imposing pinnacles and erosion towers."
