Two Late Pleistocene-Holocene Archaeological Depositories from the Southern Cape, South Africa
Abstract
This paper reviews research at two sites in the southern Cape, South Afnca that together span the last 125 ka: Boomplaas and Klasies River main site. Environmental and cultural changes are discussed. The contrasts between the Late Pleistocene and Holocene and between the earlier and later Holocene environments are detailed. Climates have been similar to the present and more favourable for human settlement in the last 5 ka than at any time since the Lasl Interglacial. The Middle-Later Stone Age inteqace predates 21 ka in the Boomplaas sequence. The Howieson's Poort at the base of the Boomplaas sequence is a horizon marker that is also found in the top of the Klasies River main site. Human remains from Klasies River are dated to 90 ka and 120 ka. It is argued that these sites were occupied by morphologically and cognitively modem humans. *Received September 1995

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
