SiteComments: 

The general Borrow Pit MR407 area, situated on the Groot and Grootvlei palaeoriverbank, is characterized by a low density of Middle (MSA) and Later Stone Age (LSA) artefacts. Scattered gravels were used to produce artefacts from, with quartz seemingly the preferred raw material during MSA times, while LSA artefacts were produced from a mixture of quartz and fine grained granite. Artefact densities across the site remain fairly low, with an average recorded artefact ratio (artefacts: mÑ) of approximately 3-5:1. The lagged MSA and LSA deposit seem to be restricted to the approximate 10cm surface member. The low density MSA and LSA occurrence is ascribed a SAHRA Low Significance and a Generally Protected C Field Rating. It is recommended that the occurrence be destroyed under a SAHRA Site Destruction Permit.
