Koobi Fora Field School

Koobi Fora Field School The next Koobi Fora Field School will be begin in June 2015 in Kenya! Welcome to the official page of the Koobi Fora Field School!

The Koobi Fora Field School is a unique opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students to learn the basic principles and field methods of paleo-anthropology “on location” at the most productive and spectacular early hominid region in the world. The Koobi Fora area is protected as the Sibiloi National Park in Kenya and is listed as a World Heritage Site through UNESCO. Its rich Pliocene, Pleis

tocene and Holocene sedimentary deposits have yielded a treasure trove of fossils and archaeological materials. The Koobi Fora Field School (KFFS) is a program dedicated to hands-on introductory training in all of the major disciplines within paleoanthropology: paleontology, archaeology, geology, taphonomy and ecology. Experts from the National Museums of Kenya and George Washington University, as well as other universities, provide instruction, sometimes in lectures and labs, but more often within the context of on-going field projects.
