Adullam Cave, eastern Free State, South Africa : test excavations at a multiple-occupation Oakhurst Industry site

Abstract

Test excavations at Adullam Cave show that it contains a palimpsest of undated Oakhurst Industry occupations and an ephemeral recent Later Stone Age occupation. Faunal remains include Burchell's zebra and bovids in the size range one to three. Charcoal analysis suggests that the vegetation near the site was of low species diversity.
