Today we went up to one of the many 'Koppies' on Sondela where we found many artifacts from the early stone age right up to the late Iron Age which was very intresting and unique to experience.
In the picture to the right is my speciman identity form in which I took a picture of the piece of Flint I found and the general information that I gathered from the site. Today I learned that large rounded stones were from the early Stone Age which were used to either break and crack open things such as nuts, eggs, skulls (;D) ect ect. Then those instruments developed into sharper accurate tools which indicated that the earlier beings whom visited Waterkop Punt were already into the middle stone age.
After a few more minutes of searching we found evidence that those who lived in the middle stone age developed into the Iron age- Phew! It proved to be a very enlightening lesson, I could feel my very roots reaching to that exact shady spot where I found my stone under a very comfortable looking patch of grass.
