Gona is a paleoanthropological research area in Ethiopia's Afar Region.[1] Gona is primarily known for its archaeological sites and discoveries of hominin fossils from the Late Miocene, Early Pliocene and Early Pleistocene.[2][3][4][5] Fossils of Ardipithecus and Homo erectus were discovered there.[3][4][5] Two of the most significant finds are an Ardipithecus ramidus postcranial skeleton and an essentially complete Homo erectus pelvis.[6] Historically, Gona had the oldest documented Oldowan artifact assemblages.[2] Archaeologists have since found older examples of the Oldowan at other sites.[7][8] Still, Gona's Oldowan assemblages have been essential to the archaeological understanding of the Oldowan.[9][10][1] Gona's Acheulean archaeological sites have helped us understand the beginnings of the Acheulean Industry.[5][11]
