The mammalian fauna associated with an archaic hominin skullcap and later Acheulean artifacts at Elandsfontein, Western Cape Province, South Africa
The Ysterfontein 1 Middle Stone Age site, South Africa, and early human exploitation of coastal resources
Human fossils and the genetics of extant human populations indicate that living people derive primarily from an African population that lived within the last 200,000 years. Yet it was only ≈50,000 years ago that the descendants of this population spread to Eurasia, where they swamped or replaced the Neanderthals and other nonmodern Eurasians. Based on archaeological observations, the most plausible hypothesis for the delay is that Africans and Eu…

Paleoenvironmental and Human Behavioral Implications of the Boegoeberg 1 Late Pleistocene Hyena Den, Northern Cape Province, South Africa
Boegoeberg 1 (BOG1) is located on the Atlantic coast of South Africa, 850 km north of Cape Town. The site is a shallow rock shelter in the side of a sand-choked gully that was emptied by diamond miners. Abundant coprolites, chewed bones, and partially digested bones implicate hyenas as the bone accumulators. The location of the site, quantity of bones, and composition of the fauna imply it was a brown hyena nursery den. The abundance of Cape fur …

The 1992–1993 Excavations at the Die Kelders Middle and Later Stone Age Cave Site, South Africa
Renewed excavations at Die Kelders Cave 1, South Africa, have confirmed and augmented prior findings. The new excavations focused on the Middle Stone Age (MSA) deposits, but they added seeds, pips, and crayfish to the categories of Later Stone Age (LSA) food debris and artifacts recovered earlier. With respect to the MSA deposits, the principal new findings are: 1) previously unrecognized site formation processes ,including phosphatization by gua…
Size Variation in the Rock Hyrax ( Procavia capensis ) and Late Quaternary Climatic Change in South Africa
The average adult size of the rock hyrax varies greatly across South Africa. Regression analysis suggests that mean hyrax size is more closely linked to precipitation than to temperature, probably because precipitation has a much greater impact on preferred hyrax food plants. The relationship between mean size and precipitation is curvilinear, such that size increases up to about 700 mm/annum and declines thereafter. This parallels a tendency for…
The identification of Equus skulls to species, with particular reference to the craniometric and systematic affinities of the extinct South African quagga
The identification of Equus skulls to species, with particular reference to the craniometric and systematic affinities of the extinct South African quagga was published in Palaeoecology and Palaeoenvironments of Late Cenozoic Mammals on page 598.
Exploitation of large bovids and seals at Middle and Later Stone Age sites in South Africa
The faunal remains from the Middle Stone Age (MSA) layers at Klasies River Mouth (KRM) suggest that South African MSA people hunted and gathered less effectively than their Later Stone Age (LSA) successors. The newly enlarged faunal sample from the MSA layers of Die Kelders Cave 1 (DK1) supports the same basic conclusion. In particular, unlike LSA people living in comparable circumstances, the MSA inhabitants of both DK1 and KRM took many fewer b…

Environmental, ecological, and paleoanthropological implications of the late Pleistocene mammalian fauna from Equus Cave, northern Cape Province, South Africa
The late Pleistocene deposits of Equus Cave, northern Cape Province, South Africa, have provided more than 30,000 taxonomically identifiable mammal bones from 48 species. Context, associations, and features of the bone assemblage implicate brown hyenas as the main accumulators. The fauna is significant mainly because (1) it supplements previous evidence that regional climate was cooler and possibly also somewhat moister during part(s) of the late…

The bovids from Elandsfontein, South Africa, and their implications for the age, palaeoenvironment, and origins of the site
Distinguishing Hyena from Hominid Bone Accumulations
Criteria for distinguishing between bone assemblages accumulated by hominids versus those accumulated by hyenas are discussed. These criteria are based on observations from southern African sites, particularly the Upper Pleistocene brown hyena accumulations from Swartklip and Equus Cave. When contextual evidence is lacking or ambiguous, these criteria can be used to determine if a bone accumulation is primarily the result of hyena or hominid acti…
