Panga ya Saidi is a large, open-roofed, solutional cave located in the Dzitsoni limestone hills that run parallel to the Kenyan coast, approximately halfway between Mombasa and Malindi (3.67° S, 39.74° E) (Fig. 1). The location of the site is of significance since Panga ya Saidi is a rare near-coastal Stone Age site, with most archaeological investigations centering on the Rift zone of eastern Africa. The steep drop-off of the continental shelf in this region ensures that the cave would never have been more than 20 km from the coast during the Late Pleistocene and Holocene occupation of the site.
