The first day at the site was filled with cleaning baboon poop, finding the old sand bags, and testing out the new metal walk way to the site. We’ll be working at both Klipdrift Cave (left) and Shelter (right). Tomorrow the prep continues! #Klipdrift2025 #archaeology

First day on site at the #Klipdrift2025 excavations was a sunny success. Equipment was dropped off and tomorrow starts the first day officially camping. Hoping to start excavating by the end of the week, but we will see how things go! #archaeology

Wonderful time yesterday talking about changes in yellowtail body size at the #archaeology site of Hoffman’s/Robberg Cave and implications for present day marine #sustainability in South Africa. Ready to take on the rest of the @SEAS_UiB annual meeting! (Photo: Brian Gratwicke)

Spent a lovely #archaeology day at the UiB University Museum with other SapienCE team members talking about excavations at Blombos Cave. By far the ostrich egg 🥚 was one of the biggest attractions! 👀
