Byneskranskop is an archaeological site in present day South Africa where the coastal plain meets the southern Cape Fold Belt. Stone age human remains have been discovered in caves at the site. Carbon dating of the remains indicates the bodies date from BCE 3,000 to 2,000. Remains of tortoises at this site and a dig at Die Kelders, have been used to assess a correlation between tortoise size and human population, with a decrease in tortoise sizes as the human population grows. 166,000 stone artefacts were recovered from the site during the first dig. These were dated as far back as BCE 12,000. Pottery sherds were limited to the period of BCE 250 or later.〔 == Gallery == Human burials from Byneskranskop, Annals of the South African Museum (1982) (17795444723).jpg|Front facing, AP6051 Human burials from Byneskranskop, Annals of the South African Museum (1982) (17795446853).jpg|Lateral view, AP6051 Stone artefacts from Byneskranskop, Annals of the South African Museum, 1982 (17793312914).jpg|Stone flakes Plan of burials at BNK3, Annals of the South African Museum (18417741081).jpg|Diagram of burial locations, BNK3 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Byneskranskop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
