Popis:	The aim of this paper is to undertake the technological description of ES2-Lepolosi, one of the Acheulean sites located on the Sambu Escarpment in the Lake Natron Basin (Tanzania) and dated to 1.5–1.4 Ma. Through the combination of three different lithic collections (Glynn Isaac's 1961–81, Dominguez-Rodrigo's 1999–2002 and the sample retrieved during our own excavations carried out between 2007 and 2011), we provide here a comprehensive description of the technological characteristics seen in this classic African Early Acheulean site. Sedimentological, archaeostratigraphic, and soil micromorphological information, acquired during the course of the 2008–2011 fieldwork, is used as a contextual framework for assessing the environmental and post-depositional history of the site.
