Ngenyn

Ngenyn is a Late Stone Age and/or a Savanna Pastoral Neolithic archaeological site located in the Kapthurin River Basin, which is part of the Tugen Hills, west of Lake Baringo.

Found were basalt stone tools, 3 distinctive pottery decorations, including possibly the earliest record of the Turkwel Culture,[4] and faunal remains of ovicaprids and wild game.

The occupation phase was dated to 2020±230 BP and contained stone tools, undecorated pottery, and the remains of ovicaprids, cattle, wild game, fish and rodents.

[1] The remains of fish species indicate that the site was also occupied from Nov-Dec and Mar-Apr, which falls within the two rainy seasons the area experiences.

More archaeological research into the Late Holocene will be done by the Resilience in East African Landscapes Initial Training Network in the following years.
