Synopsis
In this book, nine open-air sites from the coastal desert of Namaqualand, South Africa are analysed, with a focus on identifying settlement patterns and subsistence strategies within the context of a desert environment. Using radiocarbon dates and palaeoenvironmental indices, the author determines that most occupation of the region is linked to periods that were cooler and wetter than today. Using faunal and stable isotope analysis, it is found that people ate mixed diets including both marine and terrestrial species. The dominance of short-stay sites with limited ranges of artefacts suggests that settlement patterns were mobile, with paucity of water as a potential catalyst. In addition to these and other conclusions, this research has, for the first time, identified sites where people mass harvested specific animals, and identified the locations of a prehistoric Cape fur seal rookery and an African penguin hatchery, which will be of value to long-term ecological studies., This study gathers together the results of archaeological work on the South African Namaqualand region, focusing on human adaptation to the desert environment in the late Stone Age. Settlement patterns are a major concern, with a preponderance of short-stay sites. Faunal remains are also analysed for evidence of diet.

    Seller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.

    The first item arrived with some damage to the inside back cover, but the seller responded immediately, assuring me they’d provide a replacement, and even told me I could keep the original. They were upfront about a short delay, and gave a clear estimated ship date, and followed up right on time once it shipped. The replacement arrived in perfect condition and exactly as described. I really appreciated their transparency and professionalism. Would definitely buy from them again!
