... climate and relate the results to other works and proxies. Sibudu Cave, with its long record and multi-proxy record is presented as a case study because the vegetation, climate and human behaviour are well integrated together. A more recent and general trend to provide emphasis on identifying climate...

... of significant unconformities (sedimentary hiatuses e.g., Bushman Rock Shelter, Sibudu, Wonderwerk Cave), and cave closure (e.g., Pinnacle Point 13B). Here, we endeavour to provide an overview of cave and rock shelter stratigraphies and the utilisation of proxies pertinent to the study of southern African...

..., Diepkloof Cave, Sibudu Cave and Hollow Rock Shelter indicate inter-regional knowledge transfer systems, combined with localised techniques to solve specific problems ( Högberg and Lombard, 2016 ). In the Howiesons Poort, distinctive regional diachronic trajectories occur in the three rainfall zones...

... radiometric dating chronology is currently undertaken by the archaeological community which typically focuses on relatively short-term, very high resolution records from cave/shelter deposits. A chronological framework of cultural histories that spans the late Quaternary has long been used to classify...

... sites 13B and 30 (3422) in the extreme south and Border Cave (2731) are dated to MIS 6 ( Figure 1 ). More sites are recorded for MIS 5 and 4, including Blombos (3421), Klasies River (3424), Sibudu (2931) and the youngest deposits at Sterkfontein (2627) in the Cradle of Humankind. MIS 3 and 2...

...A. Matmon; H. Ron; M. Chazan; N. Porat; L.K. Horwitz Abstract We applied cosmogenic isotope burial dating, magnetostratigraphy, and grain-size distribution analysis to elucidate the history of the sedimentary sequence, composed of fine quartz sands and silts, of Wonderwerk Cave, located...
