Alternate Code & Name: Site RH-014
Site RH-14 is situated on alluvial deposits adjacent to an erosion gully: The site is directly threatened by silt
deposits being washed away. The ephemeral LSA encampment is characterized by clusters of LSA artefacts,
including a number of macrolithic pieces but with a notable emphasis on microliths. A description of artefact
density remain problematic – alluvial post-depositional processes have evidently taken its toll on the site, but not
excluding the possibility that better deposits may be buried in sub-surface context. A fair average surface artefact
ratio (artefacts: m²) can be described as 5:1, with artefacts produced from a variety of raw material sources
including hornfels, but with a focus on siliceous types. In addition to surface lithic artefacts 2 lower grinders, thin
walled pottery and a number of ostrich eggshell pieces constitute the surface artefact assemblage.
