Abstract
Hadar is a Plio‐Pleistocene paleoanthropological site in the lower Awash valley, Afar Regional State, Ethiopia. The site was discovered in the 1970s and has yielded hundreds of fossils of the hominin, Australopithecus afarensis , from Lucy (A. L. 288–1) in 1974 to a male (A. L. 444–2) and female (A. L. 822–1) skull in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The nature of the fluvial and lacustrine deposits of the Hadar Formation allowed for extremely well‐documented stratigraphy. There are also Pleistocene sediments from which Homo and Oldowan tools have been recovered.
