Peerless Peer's Cave

We marked African Origins Month with a stunning walk today to Peer's Cave, a stone age home/kitchen/cemetery overlooking the Atlantic Ocean coastline by Fish Hoek. Of course, the water level would have been a little higher back when this was a Stone Age condo, and much of the valley would have been flooded. Given climate change, maybe it's going to happen again!

Inside the cave are the terrible trio of six year olds - Jesse Dunbar, Benjamin Scott Wittenberg and Amir Hoffman. They were a tad disappointed that Victor Peers had already been and removed the skeletons from 9 burial sites in the cave, and had to be gently dissuaded from initiating their own dig.



Ali Wittenberg Scott chatting with MTN Sciencentre staffer Fikiswa Majola. Poured with rain last year; cooked in the heat this year - what would we talk about, if not the weather? Actually, we were also talked about - on Bush Radio, who then blogged us here - www.morningcruise.blogspot.com



A small portion of the group before listening to Jason discuss the rock art and dating methods (no, not that kind of dating).
