Abstract

SUCCESSIVE excavations at the Sterkfontein site, about 50 km west of Johannesburg, have yielded numerous vertebrate remains, including those of Australopithecus and possibly Homo, together with some artefacts. The geology and stratigraphy of Sterkfontein have been described by Butzer¹ and by Partridge², and Vrba^3,4 has discussed the chronological and palaeoecological implications of the fossil mammals found there.
