Relics found at three sites in eastern Zaire are greater than 90,000 years old and are typical of those associated with anthropologically modern humans. The layers containing the artifacts were dated using stratigraphy, thermoluminescence, optically stimulated luminescence, electron-spin resonance, uranium-series, and amino-acid racemization.
