The stratigraphy and context of open air archaeological sites on the West Coast can be complicated by reworking through strandline migration from relative changes in sea level (Compton and Franceschini 2005) and deflation by strong seasonal winds (Kandel et al. 2003). The Elands Bay area, located 180 km north of Cape Town on the West Coast, is rich in both cave and open air archaeological sites which together offer valuable insights into human utilization of the area. The majority of well-preserved West Coast open air sites are late Holocene in age (<1600 cal BP, calibrated years before present). Although there is increasing evidence of mid-Holocene occupation along several parts of the West Coast (Kaplan 1994; Jerardino and Swanepoel 1999;...
