Abstract
Dr Onyango-Abuje is head of the Archaeology Department of the National Museums of Kenya, and part-time lecturer in Archaeology at the University of Nairobi. Excavations at Crescent Island in Lake Naivasha, Kenya, have revealed traces of an extensive Neolithic settlement dated to between the ninth and the fifth centuries b.c. Both the pottery and the pastoral economy of the inhabitants are closely similar to those represented at the contemporary site of Narosura near Narok.Keywords
