Site Comments:
The project is located on the farm De Grooteboom 373 KT, within the Greater Tubatse Local Municipality (GTLM), Limpopo Province. 

MSA stone flakes were identified on the surface in a large, extensively eroded area. Many of the tools show some signs of retouch and were made from rhyolite. There is an approximate density of one lithic per m2 of the MSA tools over an area of approximately 100 m x 100 m. There may be potential deposit within un-eroded areas as the lithics appear to have washed out of the walls of the erosion gully and washed from a higher elevation. This eroded area is located to the west of a non-perennial stream. The MSA flakes are located 80 m from the proposed power line route. The GPS coordinates for the site are -24.926788/ 30.134758. 
Directions:
The MSA flakes are located 80 m from the proposed power line route.
