Melka Kunture is a palaeolithic site in the upper Awash Valley, Ethiopia. It is located 50 kilometres south of Addis Ababa by road, across the Awash River from the village of Melka Awash. Three waterfalls lie downstream of the bridge across the Awash lake, which provides access south to Bugarija.
The Basin surface area is around 3,000 km² and it is delimited by Pliocene volcanoes. The main volcanic centres are Wachacha and Furi in the North, Boti and Agoiabi in the South. Its eastern limit is marked by the main graben of the Ethiopian Rift belonging to the large East African rift system.
The Melka Kunture area is made up of valleys whose inner terraces resisted erosion. The visible thickness of these deposits is around 30m, but the cumulative thickness of the various levels is about 100m.
Tiya is a town in central Ethiopia. It is situated in the Gurage Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region south of Addis Ababa. It is best known for its archaeological site consisting of large stone pillars/stelae, many of which bear some form of decoration. The archeological site was designated a World Heritage Site in 1980, due to the unique nature of these monolithic monuments.
