Alternate Code & Name: SG 2
A surface scatter of Ceramic Later Stone Age material on a flat sandy area upslope from a dry watercourse. Artefacts include
fragments of ostrich eggshell, pottery (including decorated sherds and a lug fragment), stone tools made on quartz and
river-rounded pebbles. In addition there is bottle glass and porcelain. Bone is preserved in places. The assemblage is
consistent with late herder sites in the region, with an over-printing of protocolonial traces. There is a stone cairn similar to that noted at the alleged grave site SG 1 mentioned above. The site reflects sub-recent Later Stone Age activity in the area. It appears that people of this period were exploiting resources mainly on the outer edges of the inselberg and to a lesser extent on the mountain or within the basin.
