Geography
Country: Kenya

State: Nyanza


Coordinate: 2° 15' S, 34° 2' E
Coordinate basis: based on nearby landmark

Time interval: Holocene

Section: 3703.2

Unit number: 2

Unit order: below to above

Ma: 0.00156

Age basis: radiocarbon (uncalibrated)

Geography comments: The Usenge 3 (GqJa 3) site is located in northern Nyanza Province below a low bluff on the north-western side of Lake Saru, Kenya.
The sole radiocarbon date for the "Urewe" deposit is 1560 ± 40 BP.

Environment
Lithology: not described

Taphonomic context: human accumulation,midden,settlement

Archaeology: ceramics,stone tools

Habitat comments: "Usenge 3 is one of eight shell-midden sites with Kansyore and later deposits located along the bluff, which probably represents a former shoreline".
"Above the Kansyore ceramics horizon, Urewe ceramics were encountered in a rare state of horizontal preservation including a moulded clay stand for holding a large pot and a series of ceramic scatters, the most impressive of which probably represents a discrete rubbish midden".
In addition to ceramics, various stone tools including cores, microliths, and scrapers were also present, along with cut marks on some bones.

Methods
Life forms: carnivores,rodents,ungulates,birds,lizards,snakes,turtles

Sampling methods: quarry

Sample size: 31 specimens

Years: 2000

Sampling comments: "Usenge 3 was subject to hoe cultivation at the time of excavation, with two of the test-pits showing signs of modern disturbance (including a child burial). Nevertheless, a third 5 × 3m unit (Trench A) revealed intact deposits, apparently protected from modern interference by a nearby hedge".
No further excavation details are provided.
