Text Appearing Before Image:
104 ANNALS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN MUSEUM become endangered to a greater degree than previously. It is against this back- ground of modern development that the research programme of the South African Museum in the south-western Cape in general and the Gansbaai area in particular can be viewed—as basic problem-orientated research anticipating conditions that could make salvage archaeology increasingly important in the future. The resort village of Die Kelders (34°32'8"S 19°22'33"E) has long been known for its caves and subterranean springs (Wilkins ed. 1901: 165-166). Some of these caves have been formed by water draining through limestones under cover of aeolianites and dune-sand to the sea. This drainage ensures a plentiful supply of fresh water along this part of the coast. Other caves are wave-cut, and in some both seepage and wave action have played a role in their formation. A number of caves at Die Kelders contain remains of prehistoric occu- pation. The most prominent of these is the Klipgat Cave complex which consists principally of two large, high-roofed chambers at the foot of a 12 m cliff. The chambers have been eroded out of the cliff limestones and are separated by a rock-wall containing smaller openings and passages (Fig. 3). Part of this com- plex, designated Die Kelders 1 (DK 1), was chosen for study as it contained apparently undisturbed Holocene shell-midden deposits, and potentially offered a succession of occupation horizons that could help to establish a chronological and culture-stratigraphic framework for the area. It seemed that by concen-

Licensing edit

Public domain
The copyright situation of this work is theoretically uncertain, because in the country of origin copyright lasts 70 years after the death of the author, and the date of the author's death is unknown. However, the date of creation of the work was over 120 years ago, and it is thus a reasonable assumption that the copyright has expired (see here for the community discussion). Do not use this template if the date of death of the author is known.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This image was taken from Flickr's The Commons. The uploading organization may have various reasons for determining that no known copyright restrictions exist, such as:
  1. The copyright is in the public domain because it has expired;
  2. The copyright was injected into the public domain for other reasons, such as failure to adhere to required formalities or conditions;
  3. The institution owns the copyright but is not interested in exercising control; or
  4. The institution has legal rights sufficient to authorize others to use the work without restrictions.
