Part 3 of my postdoc will be carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analyses of #LateStoneAge fish bone collagen from #BlombosCave, #KlasiesRiverMainSite, and #HoffmansRobberg
Many rocky reef fish like this Red Roman but I’m also excited to sample #Yellowtail (Seriola lalandi) a circumglobal migratory species
Robberg peninsula is a great fishing spot for this fish today so no surprise it is the most abundant by weight in some levels at Hoffman’s/Robberg Cave!

Any guesses what #MarineMammal this tooth belongs to?
Working at #UniversityOfCapeTown this week going through the #LateStoneAge #HoffmansRobberg and #NelsonBayCave as I prep a permit for #StableIsotope analysis when I came across this identified by #zooarchaeologist Leesha Richardson.

New introduction time! I’m #zooarchaeologist analyzing #MiddleStoneAge and #LateStoneAge fish and seals from the #SouthAfrican sites of #BlombosCave #KlasiesRiverMainSite and #HoffmansRobberg
I’m a #postdoc at the University of Bergen #UiB with the #SEAS programme for #marine #sustainability, #SapienCE and department of archaeology #AHKR
I will give periodic updates on my work and aim to contribute to the conversations here. 😊
