Abstract Decisions related to the production of lithic technology involve landscape-scale patterns resource acquisition and transport that are not observable in assemblages from any one single site. In this study, we describe stone artifacts a discrete cluster assigned Robberg technocomplex (22-16 ka) at open-air locality Uitspankraal 9 ( UPK 9), which is located near two major sources toolstone Doring River catchment Western Cape, South Africa. OSL dating underlying sediment unit provides...
Discussions of heat treatment in the southern African Middle Stone Age often focus on importance this innovation to development complex technologies and evolution modern human cognition. Debates regarding context silcrete typically include amount time resource investment needed, when earliest occurrences appear archaeological record. However, is a heterogeneous material potential effects heterogeneity thermal transformations that occur during are not well established. We undertook series...
ABSTRACTIn southern Africa, the Howiesons Poort is one of earliest technocomplexes in which small blades and bladelets were systematically produced retouched into formal tools. While presence lithic artefacts an assemblage well-documented, little known about production pathways. This paper reports on analysis from Horizon 6/7 Charles Keller's excavations Montagu Cave, South to evaluate how raw material decision-making affects size stone tools assemblages. It addresses following questions:...
