Dead ahead: Movement as metaphor in a painted panel at Phokojoeng, Lesotho
Inspired by the insights of David Lewis-Williams, rock art research has changed significantly over the past half-century. As he has shown, interpretations of hunter-gatherer rock paintings and engravings in southern Africa depend inextricably on working back and forth between the surviving imagery and its location, on the one hand, and insights from (principally San) ethnographic data on the other. This paradigm, often dubbed ‘shamanistic’, has g…
Enveloping Oneself in Others: Semiotic, Spatial, and Temporal Dimensions of Ostrich Eggshell Bead Use in Southern Africa
Ostrich eggshell bead strontium isotopes reveal persistent macroscale social networking across late Quaternary southern Africa
Significance Hunter-gatherers like the Ju/’hoãnsi (!Kung) San use exchange networks to dampen subsistence and reproductive risks, but almost nothing is known of how, when, and why such practices emerged. Strontium isotope analysis of one preferred San exchange item, ostrich eggshell beads, from highland Lesotho shows that since the late Middle Stone Age ∼33 ka, such networks connected ecologically complementary regions over minimal distances of s…

Birds of Siberian-pine ( Pinus sibirica ) forests of the south-east part of Western Siberia (Tomsk Region)
The article examines the fauna and bird population of Siberian-pine forests in Tomsk Region (the south-east part of Western Siberia) in the summer period. The article is based on data collected by the authors over many years in 12 areas of Siberian-pine forests in various forest subzones. The taxonomical structure of avifauna, the landscape and ecological structure, and species distribution are examined. A comparison has been made of species dive…

Sehonghong: The Late Holocene Assemblages with Pottery
The late Quaternary landscape at Sehonghong in the Lesotho highlands, southern Africa
In the rough and rugged country of the Lesotho highlands, rock-paintings and archaeological deposits in the rock-shelters record hunter-gatherer life-ways; at Sehonghong, a long sequence runs from recent times to and through the Last Glacial Maximum. Survey of the region's Middle and Later Stone Age sites shows a pattern of concentrations that likely applies to other parts of the Lesotho highlands
