Abstract

THE mountains of the coastal regions of South Africa and parts of the interior contain hundreds of caves and rock shelters with prehistoric rock paintings (for distribution, see ref. 1). Although many have been documented by tracings and many have been published, little is known of the artists and none has been accurately dated. Early indigenous populations allied to the Bushmen and Hottentots are assumed to have been responsible for most of the paintings.
