Rhythms of time and place
This research investigates the density and distribution of quartz deposited over an area measuring 70,000 m 2 at Kurukop in the Nama Karoo, South Africa.

However, despite other comparable engraved sites in the region, Kurukop comprises an unusual number of quartz artefacts and intra-site associations. To in…
