rdfs:comment	Olorgesailie ist die Bezeichnung einer archäologischen und paläoanthropologischen Fundstätte im Süden Kenias, knapp 70 Kilometer südwestlich von Nairobi. Die Fundstätte liegt im namensgebenden Olorgesailie-Becken, einer teilweise mit Sediment aufgefüllten Senke, die Teil des Ostafrikanischen Grabens ist. Olorgesailie ist in Fachkreisen bekannt als Fundorte zahlreicher Steinwerkzeuge unterschiedlichen Alters. Im Jahr 2003 wurde unweit der Steinwerkzeuge, in der gleichen Schicht wie diese, erstmals auch ein hominines Fossil geborgen, das Bruchstück eines Schädels, dessen Alter mit mindestens 900.000 Jahren angegeben wird und das aufgrund seines Alters und seiner morphologischen Merkmale zu Homo erectus gestellt wurde.

(en) Olorgesailie est un site préhistorique du Paléolithique inférieur, situé dans la vallée du Grand Rift, dans le sud du Kenya. Olorgesailie est remarquable pour la découverte d'un grand nombre de bifaces acheuléens, façonnés durant des milliers d'années entre il y a 1,2 million et 490 000 ans, associés avec des activités de dépeçage de gros mammifères. Un os frontal humain fossile, daté de 900 000 à 970 000 ans, y a été mis au jour.

Si trova sul fondo della Rift Valley orientale, in Kenya meridionale, 60 km a sudovest di Nairobi lungo la strada che conduce al lago Magadi. Olorgesailie è famoso per il ritrovamento di numerose amigdale acheuleane e di resti di macellazione di animali. Secondo il National Museums of Kenya, i ritrovamenti sono molto importanti per l'archeologia, la paleontologia e la geologia. (it)
