Macrofossils, "The first stage, characterised by the Ishangian levels, is illustrative for a Late Pleistocene hunter-fisher-gatherer Community adapted to relatively dry and open savanna living conditions. For the moment it is impossible to give a more precise estimate of the age of the Ishango culture, but it is not inconceivable that the N.F.PR. assemblage relates to one of somewhat drier phases that occurred within the second half of the Late Pleistocene, i.e. from ca. 21000 to 17500 BP or from 14500 to 12500 BP." dating method: absolute, age comment: "Max age = 21,000 +/- 500 (date in NFP at Is11). Min age = 6890 +/- 75 (charcoal from the Katwe ash)." radiometric intage_max, radiometric intage_min. Niveau fossilifere principal., rock type adj: 0, lithology comments: "dense concentration of bones and artifacts, possibly a debris wash" | ||
