A deeper understanding of the stratigraphy of Sterkfontein fossil horninid site

Pages 111-120 | Published online: 01 Apr 2010
 

Abstract

In 1938, Basil Cooke published the first stratigraphic assessment of the Sterkfontein Australopithecus site. Since then, excavations have provided ever-broader and deeper insights into the complex stratigraphy of the site. A brief review of past stratigraphic assessments is here provided together with the latest stratigraphic information on the oldest deposits that are associated with a virtually complete Australopithecus skeleton (StW 573).
