The Middle Awash is a paleoanthropological research area in the Afar Region along the Awash River in Ethiopia's Afar Depression. It is a unique natural laboratory for the study of human origins and evolution and a number of fossils of the earliest hominins, particularly of the Australopithecines, as well as some of the oldest known Olduwan stone artifacts, have been found at the site—all of late Miocene, the Pliocene, and the very early Pleistocene times, that is, about 5.6 million years ago (mya) to 2.5 mya. It is broadly thought that the divergence of the lines of the earliest humans (hominins) and of chimpanzees (hominids) was completed near the beginning of that time range, or sometime between seven and five mya. However, the larger community of scientists provide several estimates f

  • Mittlerer Awash (auch: Middle Awash Study Area) ist die Bezeichnung für ein ausgedehntes paläoanthropologisches und archäologisches Forschungsgebiet beidseits des Flusses Awash am südwestlichen Rand der Afar-Senke in der Region Afar von Äthiopien. Es erstreckt sich vom Yardi-See im Süden bis zum Forschungsgebiet Hadar im Norden und wird untergliedert in die Bereiche Central Awash Complex, Western Margin, Halbinsel Bouri, Bodo und Maka. (de)
  • Střední Awaš (anglicky Middle Awash) je oblast významných paleoantropologických a archeologických lokalit, která se nachází podél středního toku řeky Awaš v Etiopii. Je součástí Afarské pánve ve Velké příkopové propadlině. Sedimenty, vydávající významné doklady o evoluci člověka, se zde táhnou v délce asi 80 km podél západního i východního břehu řeky Awaš. Na jihu zasahují až k městu , zatímco ze severu na Střední Awaš navazuje další významná paleoantropologická oblast Hadar. Unikátně komplexní stratigrafie tu odhaluje vývoj celé oblasti v průběhu posledních 6 milionů let. (cs)
  • El Awash medio es un yacimiento arqueológico sobre el río Awash en la Depresión de Afar, Etiopía. En este yacimiento se han encontrado un buen número de restos homínidos del Pleistoceno y del Mioceno superior,​ así como algunos artefactos Olduvayenses​ y restos de arcilla quemada, una disputada evidencia del uso del fuego.​ Las líneas evolutivas de humanos y chimpancés se separaron aproximadamente en esta época, hace entre unos 5 y 7 millones de años.​ Las especies fósiles descubiertas en el Awash Medio incluyen:​​ (es)

  • O Médio Awash é um sítio paleontológico ao longo do Rio Awash, Depressão Afar na Etiópia. Um número de hominídeos do Pleistoceno e final do Mioceno tem sido encontrados neste local, junto com alguns dos mais antigos artefatos de pedra "Olduvaienses" conhecidos (relacionados com a Garganta de Olduvai) e restos de fogueiras de cozimento de argila, provável evidência do uso do fogo. As linhagens de chimpanzés e humanos imagina-se terem se separado neste período, em algum ponto entre 5 milhões e 7 milhões de anos atrás. (pt)
