Description :
Cover sand is ubiquitous across much of northern South Africa, yet few areas have been geomorphologically investigated. Work on the cover sands at the Hackthorne 1 Stone Age site provide an opportunity to investigate the granulometry and geomorphology of artefact-bearing sands overlying weathered, calcretized Miocene alluvial deposits. - (AJC)
