Super successful excavation season digging Pleistocene deposits at Spitzkloof B in the southern Namib Desert (South Africa). Preservation improved with depth and we had the most amazing team!

People who have heard of #Lesotho are well informed & those who have visited among the world’s most fortunate. The mountain kingdom is naturally spectacular & culturally rich. That the immoral goons running our government know nothing of it yet demean it anyway is on brand.
