spelling oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/12238 Marine fish exploitation during the middle and later Stone Age of South Africa Van Niekerk, Karen Loise Sealy, Judith Archaeology Includes abstract. Includes bibliographical references (p. 298-335). Marine fish remains are not common in Middle Stone Age (MSA) sites in Africa. There are currently only two known MSA sites with good organic preservation in South Africa that contain marine fish remains in relatively high numbers: Blombos Cave (BBC) and Klasies River main site (KR). Marine fish exploitation is considered by some researchers as a marker of modern human behaviour, requiring cognitive and technological capacities thought to have only appeared after 50 000 years ago, during the Later Stone Age (LSA). 2015-01-15T18:34:44Z 2015-01-15T18:34:44Z 2011 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12238 eng application/pdf Department of Archaeology Faculty of Science University of Cape Town
