Charcoal Analytical Studies in the North-Eastern Cape, South Africa

Charcoal was analysed from terminal Pleistocene to late Holocene deposits at Colwinton, Ravenscraig and Bonawe in the north-eastern Cape. Changes in the relative abundances of identified taxa suggest that conditions prior to 10000 BP and subsequent to 3000 BP were moister and cooler relative to thos...

Description
Summary:Charcoal was analysed from terminal Pleistocene to late Holocene deposits at Colwinton, Ravenscraig and Bonawe in the north-eastern Cape. Changes in the relative abundances of identified taxa suggest that conditions prior to 10000 BP and subsequent to 3000 BP were moister and cooler relative to those of the drier, possibly warmer, intermediate period.
