Ain Boucherit, Stone age archaeological excavation near El Eulma, Algeria
The site contains two distinct archaeological layers containing stone tools and fossil remains, suggesting early human occupation in North Africa.
Researchers discovered tools and animal bones dating back 2.4 million years, making it the oldest known Paleolithic site in North Africa.
The excavated stone tools demonstrate advanced Oldowan technology, including chopping implements and cutting tools made from local limestone and flint materials.
The archaeological site requires four different dating methods, including geology, paleomagnetism, and biochronology, to determine accurate age estimates.
Scientists identified remains of ancient elephants, horses, rhinos, hippos, antelopes, and crocodiles, indicating a diverse ecosystem during human occupation.
