Whilst it is presumable that the makers of all of these industries were hunter- gatherers, domestic stock appears to have been introduced into the site about 1 700 This phenomenon was accompanied by a significant reduction in the number of stone tools recovered (Deacon el al. 1978: 47). The samples of microfauna from much of the lower half of the sequence are large even though they were available only from the test square metre (Table 1). The sample from the upper half is also good now that it has been augmented by material from the extended excavation (Tables 2-3). This latter sample comprised a considerable number of subsamples based on lithologica units observed in the excavation. \LAEOEN VI RON MENTAL INDICATORS 195. Byneskramkop 1 (BNK1) Byneskranskop 1 (34°35'S 19°28'E) lies some 9,5 km south-east of Die Kelders. It is situated 60 m above sea-level in the side of a small limestone hill near the Uilenkraal River (Figs 1-2). There are approximately 3m of deposits spanning the last 12 500 years without major breaks. The stratigraphy (Fig 4) comprises mainly dark-grey soil interspersed with ash bands and a Prominent band each of shell and tortoise bones (Schweitzer & Wilson 1978). The cultural sequence is divided broadly into two industries, a 'pre-Wilton' in levels 19 to 10, and a Wilton in levels 9 upwards (Schweitzer & Wilson 1978). u«her subdivisions of these major divisions into a total of five subgroups are Possible but have n
