We clarify the stratigraphic integrity of SAM 42160 and confirm its Middle Stone 18 Age provenience. We find evidence that indicates the point was hafted and partially coated 19 in an adhesive substance. Internal fractures are consistent with stresses occasioned by high- 20 velocity, longitudinal impact. SAM 42160, like its roughly contemporaneous counterpart, 21 farther north at Sibudu Cave, likely functioned as a hafted arrowhead. We highlight a 22 growing body of evidence for bow hunting at this early period and explore what the 23 implications of bow-and-arrow technology might reveal about the cognition of Middle Stone 24 Age people who were able to conceive, construct and use it. 25 26 Keywords: arrowhead; bone point; bow hunting; traceology; cognition, palaeo-neurology; 27 symbiotic technology 28 29 30 31 1.

  • The Oldest Club in the Country Is Showing Off a New Look That Pays Tribute to the Pioneers of South African Golf. by Brendan Barratt
    GOLF MEMORABILIA A ROYAL TRIBUTE The oldest club in the country is showing off a new look that pays tribute to the pioneers of South African golf. By Brendan Barratt In 2016, US website Golf Advisor provided a ‘global’ list of 15 must-visit spots for golf memorabilia lovers. While the intent was honourable, it was far from a comprehensive register and, somewhat predictably, despite the sport’s European origins a few hundred years before the game made its way across the Atlantic, this collection of venues is disappointingly US-centric. Conspicuous by its absence among this list of museums, clubs, shops and even a pub – The Dunvegan in St Andrews – is arguably the greatest collection of golfing memorabilia of all, located at the British Golf Museum in St Andrews, Scotland. Another historically significant – and rather valuable – golfing collection omitted from the list can be found at the oldest golf club in England, London’s Royal Blackheath. The club recently sold the most famous painting from its collection for the equivalent of R13-million in order to purchase the land on which the course is situated. Closer to home, Royal Cape Golf Club, in Cape Town, has launched its newly curated and refurbished collection of historical golfing memorabilia. The project, driven by former club captains Peter Sauerman and David Leslie, showcases the history of the country’s oldest golf club and its important role in the origins of the sport in South Africa.

  • Amphibian Conservation in an Urban Park
    T TITLE PAGE AMPHIBIAN CONSERVATION IN AN URBAN PARK: A spatial approach to quantifying threats to Anura on the Cape peninsula Zishan Cassiem Ebrahim Thesis presented in (partial) fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Faculty of Botany and Zoology at Stellenbosch University. Supervisor: Dr G.J. Measey December 2017 i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Species’ threat assessments produce generalized threat impact scores, often by considering regional-scale representations of threats. Cities, on the other hand, produce municipal-scale, high resolution data that are proxies for threats; furthermore, cities in mega- diverse regions are home to a high number of threatened species. Prioritization of conservation action is biased for where more information is known (about the ecosystem), and where a positive outcome can be anticipated. Eight Cape peninsula amphibian species have a threatened conservation status. They are isolated on highlands or are restricted to remnant and suburban habitats, dependent on both urban and protected terrestrial and freshwater habitats found in the City of Cape Town and Table Mountain National Park.

  • The Chronological Evidence for the Introduction of Domestic Stock Into Southern Africa
    African Archaeological Review, Vol. 15, No. 2, 1998 The Chronological Evidence for the Introduction of Domestic Stock into Southern Africa C. Britt Bousman1 This essay reviews radiocarbon dates associated with earliest evidence of domestic stock in Southern Africa and reviews existing models for their introduction in light of the current evidence. Two primary models exist for the introduction of domestic stock into Southern Africa: a early Khoisan wave or an Early Iron Age source. Neither model is completely supported by the evidence. Available chronological evidence suggests that Khoisan and Iron Age herders simultaneously ushered domestic stock into the northern and eastern regions of Southern Africa. Early Iron Age groups in southern Zambia are likely external sources. Khoisan herders exclusively introduced domestic stock into Namibia and the Cape. However, in the northern and eastern regions of Southern Africa stock possession and transfers probably were complex, and involved both Khoisan and Iron Age groups. Cet essai passe en revue des dates de radiocarbone associées à l’évidence des premières troupe de bétail en Afrique australe, et discute les different modèles de leur introduction en les comparend a l’èvidence courante. Deux modèles primaries existent pour l’introduction du bétail en l’Afrique australe: une vague tôt de Khoisan ou une première source d’âge de fer. Ni l’un ni l’autre modèle n’est complètement supporté par l’évidence. L’évidence chronologique disponible suggére que les pastoraux du Khoisan et de l’âge de fer aient simultanement conduit le betail dans les regions du nord et de l’est de l’Afrique australe.
