The lower half of the sequence consists mainly of iron humate- stained loams while the upper half comprises mainly shell material in a sandy loam matrix. material was found in the lower third of the deposits below a rubble horizon which Klein (1972a: 184; 1974a: 272) considered at one time to have been accumulated during a period of about 10 000-15 000 years when the cave was not occupied. The existence of comparable industries at Nelson Bay Cave and at Klasies River Mouth suggests, however, that the Nelson Bay Cave occupation might have lasted from about 120 000 B P. to perhaps 90 000 Above the rubble horizon, the late <JpPer Pleistocene Robberg industry underlies shell-midden deposits associated with the Holocene Albany and Wilton industries. Two Robberg levels, YSL and YGL, produced good microfaunal samples (Table 6). These were accumulated between about 18 000 and 12 000 (Klein 1972a: 203). As such they are interesting because no other samples of this age have yet been found on the coast. On the other hand, their usefulness for palaeoenvironmental interpretation is reduced by the fact that they do not form part of a sequence and cannot, therefore, provide evidence of changing conditions over a period of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original South African Museum.
