Allia Bay

The Allia Bay is a region on the east side of Lake Turkana[1] in Kenya. The site is known for yielding its first hominid fossils in 1982, with further findings to this day, all of which have been identified as part of Australopithecus anamensis but possibly related to Australopithecus afarensis. Notable people with findings at Allia Bay include: Richard Leakey, Meave Leakey, Craig Feibel, Ian McDougall, Alan Walker.[2]
