Investigating the Hunting Hypothesis at the Acheulian site of Wonderboom, Tshwane, South Africa

The lithic assemblage from Wonderboom represents the largest known collection of Acheulean stone tools from the area surrounding the UNESCO Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site in South Africa. Initial interpretations of Wonderboom suggested that it was possibly associated with hominin hunting activities, due to its spatial positioning next to a poort in the Magaliesberg (Mason 1962, 1958, 1957).
