The reinvestigation of Hoffman's/Robberg cave - the artefactual and shellfish assemblages, 2007

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

This thesis documents the re-investigation of Hoffman's/Robberg Cave, a little known site located on the Robberg Peninsula near Plettenberg Bay on the southern Cape coast of South Africa. Previous excavations carried out at the site early in the twentieth century and again in the late 1950s are scantily documented. Furthermore, a large collection derived from Hoffman' s excavations, which I examined and catalogued in 2006, is only a selective sample of the archaeological remains from the site.
