Site Comments:

Mainly isolated occurrences of Middle Stone Age (MSA) stone artefacts are distributed over the proposed area. Although, three areas, BSite1, BSite2, and BSite4, containing denser scatters of stone artefacts have been identified. Each area is approximately 100 m x 100 m. The stone artefacts comprise mainly flakes, blades, and cores manufactured on a finegrained black (hornfels) raw material. It is unlikely that the surface exposed stone artefacts occur in situ and are considered to be in a secondary and disturbed context. No other organic or material cultural remains were documented in association with the stone artefacts.
