Come and have a holiday digging with us, we do a lot of GIS, drone mapping and georectified photogrammetry as part of the process, often reaching the limits of the software and technology available to us.

We also dug a 1x1m by 2m deep hole to the left of the artifacts and only just clipped the edge of the cluster. A few centimeters and we, like Deacon in the 1960s, would have dug through the layer and thought it was sterile, as was also the case for this layer in his 1960s Deep Sounding

Not a lot of hominin fossils around in South Africa at that time, closest is probably the Cave of Hearths mandible that is Homo rhodesiensis/heidelbergensis/bodoensis depending on your taxonomic preference. The site does not preserve fossils, just stone tools and wood, the later in the 400 ka levels
