This article reports a newly discovered Acheulean assemblage in Tanzania’s Northern Mbulu Plateau. Recent investigations in the region have documented surface scatters of artifacts spanning the Acheulean-Later Stone Age continuum. Most of these artifacts have been recovered from disturbed surface contexts, on foothills, plains, and river terraces. However, there were few areas where the Acheulean assemblages were in situ. Like at Oldupai Beds II–IV, the Acheulean of Mbulu Plateau consists of various bifacial large and small cutting tools, flaked and detached types, and nondescript forms. While at Oldupai the raw material includes quartzite and different types of lava, the Mbulu Plateau assemblage is almost exclusively quartzite. Though the focus of this report is on the Acheulean, the artifacts are found co-occurring on the surface with MSA and LSA forms and are in a surprisingly good state of preservation.

本文报道了在坦桑尼亚北部姆布鲁高原新发现的阿舍利组合。该地区最近的调查记录了跨越阿舍利-晚期石器时代连续体的人工制品的表面散射。这些文物中的大多数都是从山麓、平原和河流阶地的受干扰的地表环境中恢复的。然而，阿舍利组合在原地的地方很少。与 Oldupai Beds II-IV 一样，Mbulu Plateau 的 Acheulean 由各种大小的双面切削工具、片状和分离类型以及不起眼的形式组成。虽然在 Oldupai，原材料包括石英岩和不同类型的熔岩，但 Mbulu 高原组合几乎完全是石英岩。虽然本报告的重点是阿舍利人，
