Calcrete gravel patch along the margin of the pan with dense hornfels artefact scatter. Most is likely to be MSA. As expected because of the sand cover over the site, Stone Age archaeological resources were extremely sparse within the PV study area. However, along the margins of the pans where the sand has been eroded away, and on rocky koppies, Stone Age artefacts and art were found. The area to the west of the project site and within the EGI corridor, along the edge of the large pan, yielded many thousands of stone artefacts dating to the MSA and LSA. Although in poor (eroded) context, they still have scientific value in the technological information they can provide.
