A systematic investigation of open station shell midden sites along the southwestern Cape Coast

Broadly the aim of the project was to study the so-called Strandloopers through the excavation of open station shell midden sites. Aspects such as who they were, how they interacted with the coastal environment and their relationship to inland peoples were to be considered. This was to involve the investigation of an area considered to be representative of varying environmental conditions and therefore offering different opportunity and scope for coastal occupation. The . existence of subsistence strategies related to these differing conditions was to be explored through a study of the structure end composition of midden sites. Evidence for coastal/inland links and their meaning would be sought.
