ABSTRACT
Systematic archaeological investigations in Kenya were begun by L. S. B. Leakey at the end of the 1920s (Leakey 1931). In line with the archaeological practice of the time, Leakey's main aim was to establish a chronocultural sequence of human activity in the country. Since then, significant archaeological work has continued in Kenya. In fact, in comparison with her East African neighbours, Kenya is far ahead in archaeological research. This is mainly due to the technical facilities that are available for comparative purposes, as well as the relatively advanced infrastructure that the country enjoys.
