Egypt. — A fairly complete story of the Stone Age in Egypt is 

 slowly taking shape due to the researches of Miss G. Caton-Thomp- 

 son and Miss E. W. Gardner and more recently to those undertaken 

 by the Oriental Institute, University of Chicago, with K. S. Sandford 

 and W. J. Arkell in charge. 



The Study of Nile-Faiyum Divide during Pliocene and Pleisto- 

 cene Times by Sandford and Arkell appeared in 1929 as Volume X 

 of the Oriental Institute Publications.- 



In Upper Egypt they have identified a series of four river terraces 

 in which Lower and Middle Paleolithic implements occur in situ 

 as follows: 



Height above Nile Cultures 



3 meters (10 feet) Mousterian. 



9 meters (30 feet) Early Mousterian. 



15 meters (50 feet) Acheulian. 



30 meters (100 feet) Chellean.
