| description | Archaeological research into the late Holocene in the western Cape has been directed towards the question of pastoralism and its effect on the local gatherer-hunters. Consequently a model has arisen out of this research and observations have been built around it to create a supportive picture of the past. Evidence from Klipfonteinrand 2 (KFR2 ), in the absence of radiocarbon dates, appear to contradict an important aspect of this model, ie. that adzes are predominantly found in the last 2000 years. This questioning could lead to the reviewing of this "pastoralist-package" and its validity. Furthermore, the KFR2 sequence is hoped to add to that of Klipfonteinrand 1, in order to complete the culture history of the area, in the light of the fact that the upper stratigraphic horizons of Klipfonteinrand 1 was disturbed. |
