Abstract: A new lithostratigraphic classification is proposed for the Sterkfontein hominid site. The Sterkfontein Formation is defined in terms of constituent members and beds. The new terminology is correlated with that used previously and, where possible, hominid finds are linked to the newly defined lithostratigraphic units.
