Small collection of banded ironstone, silcrete & quartzite MSA and LSA flakes, chunks/core and blade in old limestone quarry (outside) proposed development site.
A handful of ESA ironstone flakes and chunks (107) were found among excavated limestone at the small pan in the north eastern corner of the proposed site alongside the old Kuruman road, while similar tools, including an ESA biface (108) were found among road gravels/tailings directly alongside the road. It is suspected that much of this material has been introduced onto the site during construction of the road. A translucent, utilized chalcedony LSA flake (115), a small limestone flake (123) and a banded ironstone flake (124) were found near the natural pan in the north eastern corner of the site. A retouched ironstone flake (116) was also found about 50m north of the edge of the pan. A dispersed scatter of MSA and LSA tools (118-121), including chunks, flakes, a core, and a blade in ironstone, quartzite and silcrete was found among the limestone quarry/diggings just outside the proposed development site.
