Ngenyn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ngenyn is a Late Stone Age site in north central Kenya. It is situated in the Kapthurin River Basin west of Lake Baringo. The occupied area, situated at the periphery of a floodplain and backing into a ridge of the Tugen hills, is covered by silt which was deposited by the flood river.[1] Excavations have recorded three different occupation periods.[2] The earliest known records for the Turkwel Culture come from two Neolithic sites at Ngenyn.[3]
