Abstract
This story of Sererengeti and Ngorongoro commence with the stone bowl people, as they are the first inhabitants of the area to have left any visible structures as records of their presence. It is of course common knowledge that Olduvai and adjacent sites have contributed more than any other place in the world to our knowledge of man's development from erect walking pre-human hominids- the initial foorprints 3,500,000 years old- through the hand-axe stage of development to the late stone age hunters and gathers who made delicately shaped arrow-heads and barbs out of obsidian. But the stone bowl people who left visible structures appear to have formed a bridge both between the hunting and the postural stage of development and between the stone users and those who had developed techniques both pottery and iron working
