Zusammenfassung:	In 1989 the Paleoanthropological Inventory of the Ethiopian Ministry of Culture targeted for reconnaissance the last paleoanthropologically unknown quadrant of the Turkana Basin, the Fejej area. Fieldwork here identified fossiliferous Oligocene, Pliocene, and Pleistocene deposits. Late Pliocene Oldowan archaeological occurrences were discovered below a correlative of the KBS Tuff. Radiometric dates, tephrostratigraphy, and biochronological results relate Fejej strata to others in the Omo-Turkana Basin.
