Southern Africa's archaeological artefacts

Discover and document southern Africa's ancient stone tools, pottery, rock art and other artefacts made by different hominin species. This project aims to aid in mapping the presence of our immediate ancestors in the landscape across time and space where skeletal remains may be absent.

Kindly document the following, if known:
Depositional environment
Estimated age
Archaeological culture

If recorded in a museum or private collection, site the collection site.
Should artefacts be made from natural products (e.g. bone tools, ostrich eggshell beads, etc.), please duplicate records to include the involved species.
No archaeology more recent than circa 200 years ago. less ↑
