Unique Archeological Findings of Oldowan Culture Unearthed

Russian Archeological Expedition unearthed unique stone age sites at Socotra Island, Yemen, located 200 kilometres eastwards from Africa. Unearthed archeological monuments belong to so-called Oldowan period, which is an industrial complex of stone tools used by prehistoric hominins of the Lower Paleolithic – 2.5-1.4 million years ago. Numerous findings – mainly silicon tools – allowed making some sensational conclusions about occupation of the island and active exploitation of its resources by ancient human beings during menti0oned period of time.
