Exciting find to end the week at Klipdrift Cave with the first in-situ engraved ostrich eggshell of the season! Hopefully more to come. #archaeology #Klipdrift2025

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
