The Mediterranean moment of Namibian rock art, or the legitimisation of colonial presence through heritage-making (1948-1954)
While critical heritage studies have emphasised the need to decolonise heritage practices, the legacy of colonial-era heritage-making remains largely underexplored.

Two techno-complexes of the Middle Stone Age-the Still Bay and Howiesons Poort-have been associated with many technological and behavioural innovations of Homo sapiens. The classic model argues that these two techno-complexes are temporally separated 'horizons' with homo…
