Abstract
Various finds of hominid remains in the Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania, have focused interest upon the age of the deposits in the sequence of six beds. After bed I was dated by the potassium-argon decay method, an absolute date of 10,400 years has now been obtained with the radiocarbon method from a sample of mammalian bones for bed V.
