奥洛格赛利遗址位于肯尼亚南部裂谷,距离内罗毕约67公里,是非洲东部最具研究价值的考古与地质遗址之一。该地原为一个古湖盆地,保存了大量阿舍利石器文化的遗迹,其中包括距今约60万至90万年前的手斧,这些工具多由直立人制造,主要用于处理大型动物,如已灭绝的河马、大象和狒狒等,这些动物的化石如今仍可在相同地层中找到。 自20世纪40年代起,玛丽与路易斯·李奇夫妇在此开展了系统发掘,随后研究者格林·艾萨克和理查德·波茨继续推动遗址研究。2003年,一块可能属于直立人的额骨化石出土,引起学界广泛关注。近年的发掘还揭示了约32万年前的复杂人类行为迹象,如黑曜石的远距离运输、颜料使用和投掷工具的制造,反映出早期智人在文化和认知层面的演化。 奥洛格赛利的地质环境为遗址的保存提供了独特条件。邻近火山喷发产生的大量碱性火山灰掩埋并保护了遗迹和化石,地层清晰可辨。2020年,一项深层钻探项目在附近的科拉盆地获取了覆盖百万年历史的沉积岩心,为研究气候变化与人类演化之间的关系提供了详实依据。这些跨学科成果使奥洛格赛利成为探讨非洲早期人类演化与环境互动的重要据点。

    I’m an Archaeologist from Canada and I knew that while in Kenya I would regret it forever if I didn’t visit a site. I chose this one based on the quality of the museum, the significance of the site, and the amount of material in situ still remaining. Our guide, Adrian, was friendly, knowledgeable and engaging (Even for my friends who didn’t care much for these affairs, he pulled them right in!). A group of Maasai women came from a neighbouring village to sell their wares and it was lovely. I was in tears at the richness of this site, its preservation, and the quality of the people caring for it. It was a dream to see all the things I studied in text books all throughout my degree, right there in front of me, where it originated. If you have any sort of passion for human evolution, this site is a must.

    Nice stop to get the history of mankind and prehistoric tools. Also great for learning a bit of geography especially for relating the theory that is taught in Kenyan schools with actual findings.

    The campsite and bandas are all you need for simple camping. This place is world famous but we Kenyans don't know enough about it!

    Who knew that there's a place in Kenya where you can go and get a visual of the history and discovery of the oldest human remains in the world?! Before yesterday, I certainly didn't! We drove into Olorgesailie Prehistoric Site on our way to Magadi and went on a quick guided tour of Mary Leakey's discoveries, including the oldest elephant and hippo remains.
