Renewed impetus for Stone Age research in the Eastern Free State (South Africa) centred on Rose Cottage Cave
Résumé
Rose Cottage Cave is widely recognised as a key sequence for the
Middle Stone Age and Later Stone Age in the southern African
central interior, with its unique palaeoenvironmental and chronocultural
archive spanning a semi-continuous record from the Late
Pleistocene to the 19th century. Building on important previous
research, new excavations will extend our knowledge concerning
technological systems, landscape use, human-environment
interactions, as well as site formation and the linkages between these
parameters in a regional context. Here we report on preliminary
insights from the recent fieldwork and provide an overview of
future directions.
