and many were found associated with female burials in the Neolithic cemetery at Hyrax Hill and other sites in the area.[11] The bowls from Hyrax Hill are round or oblong, particularly shallow, and made from an easily accessed local variety of stone.[12] Because these bowls were so distinctive at many sites in the Rift Valley, archaeologists created the term "Stone Bowl Culture" to encompass the Neolithic culture they were believed to represent. The term "Stone Bowl Culture" is not widely used today, having been supplanted by "Savanna Pastoral Neolithic", a culture which Christopher Ehret indicates was likely produced by early Cushitic settlers.[13] In Kenya, the broader term "Pastoral Neolithic" refers to sites archaeological containing a Later Stone Age lithic industry, predominant livestock husbandry, and ceramic vessels.[14]
