Text of the page (random words):
into larger 80 40 mm fragments it is estimated that fragments from 25 containers have been found eggshell fragments have been found throughout the period of occupation of the cave but those with engraving are found only in several layers within the howiesons poort period these occur across 18 stratigraphic units particularly those with the stratigraphic names frank and darryl this suggests the tradition of engraving lasted for several thousand years 1 the engraving consists of abstract linear repetitive patterns including a hatched band motif one fragment has two parallel lines that might have been circular around the container it has been suggested that they form a system of symbolic representation in which collective identities and individual expressions are clearly communicated suggesting social cultural and cognitive underpinnings that overlap with those of modern people 1 moreover they show the development of a graphic tradition and the complex use of symbols to mediate social interactions the large number of marked pieces shows that there were rules for composing designs but having room within the rules to allow for individual and or group preferences 1 earlier finds exist of symbolism such as the 75 000 year old engraved ochre chunks found in the blombos cave but these are isolated and difficult to tell apart from meaningless doodles 3 the engravings are found on ostrich eggshells that were used as water containers ostrich eggshells have an average volume of 1 litre they may have had drinking spouts holes to enable them to be strung as a canteen for easier carrying and seem to have been part of daily hunter gatherer life 1 they involved skill to make with one of the researchers involved noting ostrich egg shells are quite hard doing such engravings is not so easy 3 local flora edit the preservation of organic matter such as wood grass seeds and fruits at the site has been described as exceptional 2 pollen remains allow the identification of the local animals and plants the howiesons poort period shows evidence for thicket or shrubland vegetation now usually found in gorges such as diospyros cassine peragua maytenus rhus and hartogiella schinoides afromontane trees found in the area include ficus kiggelaria africana podocarpus elongatus and celtis africana this suggests a more diversely wooded riverine environment than now present in the area 1 animal remains edit animal remains include those of mammals tortoises and intertidal marine shells most bones found in the cave come from rock hyrax hares cape dune mole rats steenbok and grysbok animals from rocky environments are also found including klipspringer and vaalribbok there is also evidence of local grasslands with remains of zebras wildebeest and hartebeest hippopotamus and southern reedbuck came from the local river the sea coast seems to have moved up the river as there are fragments from black mussels granite limpets and cape fur seals although there are ostrich shell remains no ostrich bones have been found 1 tortoise bones are mostly those of the angulate tortoise that is still found in the area these are noted to have been remarkably large compared with their late stone age counterparts suggesting different intensities of predation between msa and late stone age populations 1 provincial heritage site edit badge indicating that the diepkloof rock shelter is a provincial heritage site diepkloof rock shelter was declared a provincial heritage site by heritage western cape on 23 september 2014 in terms of section 27 of the national heritage resources act 7 this gives the site grade ii status and provides it with protection under south african heritage law in 2015 the south african government submitted a proposal to add the caves to the list of world heritage sites and it has been placed on the unesco list of tentative sites as a potential future serial nomination together with blombos cave pinnacle point klasies river caves sibudu cave and border cave 8 three of the sites gained the world heritage status in 2024 9 references edit 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 texier pj porraz g parkington j rigaud jp
