Common Name: JT 1
JT 1 is situated at the base of a vegetated dune, alongside the small footpath on the calcrete ridge. Fragments of surface shellfish and a few stone quartzite, quartz, silcrete and limestone flakes and chunks occur on a large, open patch of sand overlooking the ocean. A small piece of ostrich eggshell was also found. The shellfish is dominated by Turbo sarmaticus (including some large whole shell and large fragments), Operculum, Haliotis (Perlemoen), Diloma sinensis (Periwinkle) and some Scutellastra argenvillei. A thin scatter of fragmented shellfish occurs on an exposed sandy patch on top of the densely vegetated dune. Some bird bone (probably recent), two quartzite flakes and one limestone flake was also counted. No pottery was found.
