We ended the first week of excavations slowly uncovering Klipdrift Shelter (new sandbags at the ready!) Next week after another day or two we should be ready to begin excavations. I’ll be focusing on Klipdrift Cave where I’m hoping to find evidence of habitation during the Last Glacial Maximum. 🏺

We had a windy Wednesday (the toilet tents almost made an escape) but Thursday we made it to Klipdrift Cave and Shelter! We spent the day cleaning baboon poop, finding the old sand bags covering the site and testing the new walkway. We just need to watch the tide… #archaeology 🏺
