Lower Valley of the Awash (アワッシュ がわかりゅういき) is a lower basin of the アワッシュ river. In addition, a name when the whole area of the neighborhood of ハダール village in the northeastern part of Ethiopia was registered with a world heritage of the UNESCO. The reason as the registered master depends on fossil human bone Lucy of Australopithecus アファレンシス (アファール pithecanthropus) having been discovered in this ground.

In the investigation of this time, piece 316 of the fossil human bone for 40 in total were found, but the individual which large amount of quantity excavated did not exist as Lucy elsewhere. Anyway, the human bone found at this time will be named Australopithecus アファレンシス.
In the middle basin which sailed up the river, the fossil human bone which is older than Lucy is discovered now.
