Descripción
Refers to a sub-Saharan tool-making culture dating from the upper Pleistocene and nearly contemporaneous with the Fauresmith industry of southern Africa. It is named after the site at Sango Bay, Uganda, and has also been found in Angola, Zaire, Kenya, Zambia, and elsewhere. It is characterized by hand axes, flake knives, scrapers, large planes for woodworking, and a peculiar pick. Sangoan culture was apparently developed by a forest-dwelling people, while the Fauresmith was developed by a plains-dwelling people.
