Abstract
This paper is the first report to be published of a programme of research into the later prehistory of northern Kenya which has been conducted by the Assistant Director of the British Institute in Eastern Africa since 1974. Excavations at Lowasera, near the south-east shore of Lake Turkana in northern Kenya, have revealed a long sequence of archaeological material relating to fishing settlements occupied during periods of high lake levels between the eighth and the second millennia b.c. A chronological framework is proposed both for the development of the associated material culture, and for the fluctuations in lake level and attendant geomorphological changes.
