Pictures in our past

Pictures in our past

Pictures in our Past showcases images that illustrate the archaeological findings from Blombos Cave and the Klipdrift complex, two sites situated on South Africa's southern Cape coastline. These caves have been used by our direct human ancestors, Homo sapiens, for at least 100 000 years. We present images showing the sites, the excavations in progress and the artefacts found at the sites. We have also provided photographs of the surrounding coastline and the animals that were foraged and hunted by these early humans to illustrate the lives that they lived. Images are available to purchase for editorial and commercial use. The copyright for all images is held by us.
