Common Name: Plankiesbaai 1-PL1
PL1 consists of a wide spread of shell over approximately 40 m next to the beach, at the back of a rocky shore and in a dark brown soil. Imported rock material noted on the site was silcrete and quartz. Pottery fragments, as well as some ostrich eggshell were visible on the surface. Shellfish remains mainly consist of Patella spp., like Patella argenvillei and P. cochlear. There does not appear to be any thickness to the shell occurrence and it may be a remnant of a deflated midden. This reduces the significance of the site.
