We here review what is known about the dunefields and fluvial systems of the Kalahari
Basin in terms of geological setting and Quaternary dynamics and set out what has been …

Cave sediments pose dating challenges due to complex depositional and post-depositional
processes that operate during their transport and accumulation. Here, we confront these …

The age and properties of detrital zircon in a sediment reflect properties of the rocks in which
the zircon crystallized, and not necessarily the immediate precursor of the host sediment …

Abstract Although the Middle Stone Age (MSA) of southern Africa, associated with major
cultural innovation including aspects of symbolic behavior and the development of complex …

This article explores a conception of the origins of fire as a process of shifting human
interactions with fire, a process that, in a sense, still continues today. This is a counterpoint to …

Abstract The Kunene Complex (KC) represents a large Mesoproterozoic igneous body,
mainly composed of anorthosites and gabbroic rocks that extends from SW Angola to NW …

Reconstructing Quaternary landscape evolution today frequently builds upon cosmogenic-
nuclide surface exposure dating. However, the study of complex surface exposure …

Abstract The Kalahari Basin, southern Africa preserves a rich archeological record of human
origins and evolution spanning the Early, Middle and Late Pleistocene. Since the 1930s …

Fluvial sediments preserve evidence of past hydroclimatic regimes and are important but
potentially under-utilised indicators of palaeoenvironmental change in drylands. This paper …

Several studies have highlighted the importance of collecting well-dated records of
palaeoenvironmental changes on desert margins, particularly in the semi-arid interior of …
