Environmental setting and PYS stratigraphic section. a The location of PYS in the tropical moist forest of coastal East Africa, situated in the Ditzoni upland, southeastern Kenya. b The stratigraphic sequence of PYS showing the Layers and modeled ages, with example of a micromorphological thin section, illustrating the rich biogenic/anthropogenic contents in the sediments (Sh shell, Bn bone, Lt lithic, Ch charcoal). Note that Layer 12 was not continuous across the whole excavation and did not occur in this section. Age estimates are shown as the median of the highest posterior density age range for simplicity
