| description | The fossil sites Swartkrans, Sterkfontein and Kromdraai are situated in close proximity, not more than three kilometres apart, in the Sterkfontein valley near Krugersdorp, Transvaal. Excavation at these sites has yielded abundant faunal remains, including hominids, as well as stone artefacts.For a comprehensive review of various aspects of these sites the reader is referred to Brain (1958). The many hundreds of cranial fragments, belonging to the mammalian family Bovidae Gray, from these assemblages, form the basis for this study. |
