The site lies on the seaward side of the dunefield to the west of Rietduin farmhouse.
It is a large wind-deflated area approximately 150 III wide and is characterized by
many white mussels which have been dropped by kelp gulls. \Vitllin this scatter,
however, are also pieces of ostrich eggshell, a few broken quartzite cobbles and a
number of pieces of indigenous pottery with quartz temper which date to the Late
Stone Age.
Site 6 is of less value on its own but is none the less important in the context of the
other Later Stone Age sites in the area.
