Gona is an archaeological site in the Afar Triangle of Ethiopia located in the Ethiopian Lowlands. The site, near the Middle Awash and Hadar regions, is primarily known for paleoanthropological study, including excavations of Late Miocene and Early Pliocene fossils, as well as Oldowan and Acheulean stone tools. Evidence of Homo erectus presence at Gona dates back to as early as 1.8 million years ago, making Gona's stone tools some of the world's oldest stone tool artifacts found to date. Gona is also known as a key site for the study of human evolution, with a rich hominid fossil record that includes evidence of Ardipithecus remains dating to around 4.5 million years old and Homo erectus fossils from approximately 1.8 to 1.7 million years ago. Likewise, faunal remains such as cutmarked bon

rdfs:comment	Gona ist eine archäologische und paläoanthropologische Fundstätte nördlich des Flusses Awash am Rande des Afar-Dreiecks in Äthiopien. Namensgebend für das in Fachkreisen als Gona Paleoanthropological Study Area bezeichnete, rund 500 Quadratkilometer große Gebiet war die lokale Bezeichnung für den zum Awash entwässernden Trockenfluss Kada Gona. Gona grenzt im Osten an das Forschungsgebiet Hadar, im Norden an die Straße von Mille nach Bati, im Süden an den Fluss Asbole und die Middle Awash study area sowie im Westen an die Steilhänge des Äthiopischen Hochlands.
