Abstract
Abstract Three seasons of excavations (1985–1987) in the Gobaad region of the Republic of Djibouti have unearthed the fossilized skeletal remains of an Elephas recki (1.3–1.6 million years old). Numerous stone artefacts discovered among the bones indicates that the excavation is a butchery site where hominids cut up and perhaps consumed the elephant meat. The discovery of cores and small flakes near the elephant carcass indicates that the hominids knapped choppers and polyhedrons and retouched flakes during the scavenging operation.
