Abstract
The discovery at Cape Hangklip, Cape Province, of a large assemblage of stone implements, typologically of the Earlier and Middle Stone Ages, but lacking evidence from stratigraphy or from association with relics of other kinds, has posed an apparently difficult problem as regards their antiquity. There seems, however, to be a direct connection between the period of their manufacture and the geomorphological history of the area, and this indicates that the manufacture was contemporary with the old shoreline which lies about 25 ft. above the present sea-level.
To establish chronology it is necessary to correlate the geomorphology of the area with developments elsewhere of which the chronology, whether comparative or absolute, is known.
