TL;DR: It is shown that by ∼164’kyr ago (±12 kyr) at Pinnacle Point (on the south coast of South Africa) humans expanded their diet to include marine resources, perhaps as a response to these harsh environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Middle and Late Pleistocene paleoscape modeling along the southern coast of South Africa
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a Paleoscape model as a conceptual tool to ground the records for human behavioral evolution within a dynamic model of paleoenvironmental changes and compare the predictions of this broadened model to evidence from Blombos cave.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shellfish gathering, marine paleoecology and modern human behavior: perspectives from cave PP13B, Pinnacle Point, South Africa.
TL;DR: This paper reports on the abundance of marine invertebrate species from PP13B cave and interpret these abundances in terms of paleoenvironmental changes, the likely shellfish procurement behaviors involved in both rocky and sandy shore contexts, and the significance of the collection of marine shells for purposes other than food collection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Shellfish Species Composition and Mean Shell Size from a Late-Holocene Record of the West Coast of Southern Africa
TL;DR: The results of a systematic analysis of the shellfish assemblage recovered from Pancho's Kitchen Midden, a site located in the western Cape coast of South Africa, are discussed in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large shell middens in Lamberts Bay, South Africa: a case of hunter–gatherer resource intensification
TL;DR: This reconstruction is consistent with hunter–gatherer resource intensification models world-wide, with isotopic values from human skeletons and quantified dietary remains showing increased marine food consumption during the megamidden period when compared to other stages.
