Abstract

This paper presents preliminary results from a newly excavated open-air Later Stone Age site attributed to the Wilton Industry at Kathu Pan 6 in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa. Basic data on the lithics, fauna (including a large ivory fragment), and ostrich eggshell (including beads) recovered during two seasons of excavation (2016–2017) are presented and this material is contextualized through comparison with neighboring sites. Spatial analysis of the artifact distribution from the small exposure from the 2017 season suggests a spatially structured occupation. The Wilton open-air occupation of Kathu Pan 6 offers a new perspective on the poorly understood Later Stone Age of the southern fringes of the Kalahari.

Kathu Pan 6:喀拉哈里盆地南缘第一个已知埋藏高密度露天全新世占领的观测

本文介绍了南非北开普省Kathu Pan 6的威尔顿工业新挖掘的晚石器时代露天遗址的初步结果。介绍了在两个季节（2016-2017）的挖掘中发现的岩石、动物群（包括一块大象牙碎片）和鸵鸟蛋壳（包括珠子）的基本数据，并通过与邻近遗址的比较，对这些材料进行了背景分析。对2017年小曝光的伪影分布的空间分析表明，这是一种空间结构化的职业。凯苏潘6号的威尔顿露天占领为人们提供了一个新的视角，来了解卡拉哈里河南部边缘鲜为人知的后石器时代。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
