LSA occupations at Bushman Rock Shelter (BRS) are dated from 14 800 to 10 900 cal. BP and the lithic industry has been attributed to the Oakhurst and Robberg techno-complexes. Besides data provided by early excavations at the site conducted by Prof. Eloff in the 70\u2019s, only a few detailed studies about lithic industries and subsistence strategies have been published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zooarchaeology analyses of LSA faunal remains from BRS intend to provide new data on faunal exploitation patterns by LSA hunters.
