  • Middle Stone Age technological organisation from MIS 5 at Mertenhof Rockshelter, South Africa

    Open AccessCorey A O’driscoll, A MackayARTICLEQuaternary Science Advances2024Cited by: 1References: 105

    Lithic technological organisation within the southern Africa Early Middle Stone Age (∼315,000–80,000 years ago) has seen relatively little investigation owing to the subtly of technological change, frequent use of locally derived raw materials, and the archaeological spatio-temporal discontinuity. This has resulted in relatively limited use of explanatory models for technological variability, including mobility, provisioning, tool production, and…

  • The Middle Stone Age Sequence at Klipfonteinrand 1 (KFR1), Western Cape, South Africa

    Open AccessA Mackay, Rosaria B K Saktura et al.ARTICLEJournal of Paleolithic Archaeology2023Cited by: 7References: 27

    The rock shelter site Klipfonteinrand 1 (KFR1), located on the edge of southern Africa’s Fynbos biome, was initially excavated by John Parkington in 1969. Due to difficulties resolving the stratigraphic sequence, the lack of age estimates, and generally poor organic preservation, the Middle Stone Age (MSA) components of the site have received limited attention. In this paper we report on the re-excavation, dating, palaeoecology, and cultural sequ…

  • A Multi-User Mobile GIS Solution for Documenting Large Surface Scatters

    C J H Ames, Matthew Shaw et al.ARTICLEJournal of Field Archaeology2020Cited by: 5References: 23

    This article discusses the development and implementation of a mobile GIS catch-and-release system for documenting large surface artifact scatters along the Doring River in South Africa. An integrated, cloud-based mobile GIS solution was built using a suite of ESRI ArcGIS applications with an aim to maximize the speed and breadth of techno-typological data capture, while minimizing data collection errors and post-processing requirements. The syst…

  • Robberg Material Procurement and Transport in the Doring River Catchment

    Sara E Watson, Marika Low et al.ARTICLEJournal of African Archaeology2020Cited by: 5References: 25

    Decisions related to the production of lithic technology involve landscape-scale patterns of resource acquisition and transport that are not observable in assemblages from any one single site. In this study, we describe the stone artifacts from a discrete cluster of stone artifacts assigned to the Robberg technocomplex (22-16 ka) at the open-air locality of Uitspankraal 9 ( UPK 9), which is located near two major sources of toolstone in the Dorin…

  • The origins and early elaboration of projectile technology

    Open AccessCorey A O’driscoll, J C ThompsonARTICLEEvolutionary Anthropology Issues…2018

    The ability of Homo sapiens to kill prey at a distance is arguably one of the catalysts for our current ecological dominance. Many researchers have suggested its origins lie in the African Middle Stone Age or the European Middle Palaeolithic (∼300‐30 thousand years ago), but the perishable components of armatures rarely preserve. Most research on this subject therefore emphasises analysis of armature tip size, shape, and diagnostic impacts or res…
