Made over 476,000 years ago, this set of interlocking wooden logs is attributed to the Acheulean culture of Kalambo Falls, Zambia. It is made of Combretum zeyheri and features a transverse U-shaped notch intentionally cut to join two logs together. The determined age was found through luminescence dating of surrounding sediments, producing a mean age of 476 ± 23 kyr. The primary log measures 141.3 cm × 25.6 cm (55.6 × 10.1 in). This structure is now housed by the Livingstone Museum in Livingston

Archaeologists discovered a Pleistocene epoch, stone age structure buried beneath a riverbed at Kalambo Falls in Zambia on the continent of Africa. Luminescence dating produced a staggering age of 476,000 years old. In total, five wood pieces were discovered, all more than 300,000 years old. In addition, stone tools were located near the oldest find, the two interlocking logs. The riverbed, because it never dried, actually preserved these wood pieces, which in most cases would have decayed away.

The Kalambo Falls on the Kalambo River is a 772-foot (235 m) single-drop waterfall on the border of Zambia and Tanzania at the southeast end of Lake Tanganyika. The falls are some of the tallest uninterrupted falls in Africa (after South Africa's Tugela Falls , Ethiopia's Jin Bahir Falls and others). Downstream of the falls is the Kalambo Gorge, which has a width of about 1 km and a depth of up to 300 m, running for about 5 km before opening out into the Lake Tanganyika rift valley .............

In 2019, UK researchers discovered two ancient wooden pieces at Zambia's Kalambo Falls, estimated to be nearly half a million years old and potentially the oldest human-built structure. Preserved by high water levels, these pieces, possibly used as a platform for daily chores, predate the Homo sapiens species. What does this signify for the origins of our species? | Interesting Engineering
