A site outside Rabat in Morocco which has revealed some of the earliest stone tools in Africa. The tools are in rough stone and include a variety of pebble tools, but no hand axes. They are typical of the Oldowan or pebble culture of Africa, and are contemporary with the Moulouyan dunes of about 2 million years old or more. Earlier levels are devoid of stone tools, but tools are associated with later beaches at around 100 metres above modem sea-level.
