Paleolakes[edit]
The Richât was part of the enormous Tamanrasset river valley, comparable with the present-day Ganges-Brahmaputra river basin in Asia as recently as 5000 years ago.[1]
History[edit]
The Richât shows some of the oldest and rarest signs human occupation of North Africa. A number of Mode 1 Oldowan stone-tool sites from the early Pleistocene have been recorded, located on the edge of paleolakes, such as those of El Beyedh and Guelb Er Richât. Interestingly, there are no well-documented Oldowan sites in Egypt and Nubia, suggesting that the Nile was not a main route of human migration during this time.[2][3]
