AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
'Three sites within the project area exhibited quantities or a quality of data that were considered to warrant more intensive intrasite investigation using first stage attributes. ... The intra-site focus here will be to examine the vertical variability through the dune. ...[A]ny chronological shifts in the tool assemblage/activity functions may be detectable through the strata ...' (page 157). The tool assemblages were then used to determine settlement patterns and land use.
