MRP/utilized flake and chunk.
A few banded ironstone flakes and chunks (090 & 094)) were encountered among piles of road gravel and litter alongside the deproclaimed tarred road that cuts right across the property west of the R380. A thick, step retouched MSA ironstone flake (091), a possible core/chunk (092), a small weathered banded ironstone flake (093), and a banded ironstone chunk (095) were also found between the old tar road and Hendrik van Ek Street. Several ironstone flakes and chunks (098) were found among gravel/tailings alongside an old gravel road near the limestone quarry in the north western portion of the proposed site. A, small LSA retouched ironstone flake (099) was found in a small footpath alongside the R380, while a miscellaneous retouched and utilized flake and chunk (100) in banded ironstone were encountered on a large patch of
gravel and calcrete alongside the R380. A diffuse scatter of tools (in a highly degraded context), including several large chunks/minimal cores and flakes (101) were found among road gravels and a surface scrape alongside the old Kuruman Road in the north east of the site. The remains of a concrete reservoir and the foundations of a building were located
among a dense stand of large Kameeldoring/Camelthorn trees immediately south of the calcrete quarry, and are probably the remains on an abandoned cattle station.
