Great way to end the second week! First in-situ ostrich eggshell of the season at Klipdrift Cave ~14,000 years ago. 🏺 #archaeology

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. 🏺
