content: East Rudolf (later renamed East Turkana). After Richard Leakey's discovery of fossil bearing deposits in 1969, he invited Glynn Isaac to join him as co-leader of a combined UC Berkeley and National Museums of Kenya team. The work continued until 1979. The archaeological sites excavated by Glynn and his students ranged in age from 1.9 to 1.4 my. Several students wrote doctoral theses from the resulting studies which included artefact replication, site deposition, taphonomy, and food acquisition.
