“…Ochre, useful as a pigment to color bodies, walls, and beads, as a binder, and for a number of other purposes [ 98 101 ], was being transported to and processed at Kisese II before ~45 ka cal BP, and appears to be a common feature among the painted shelters of the Kondoa Rock-Art UNESCO World Heritage Center [ 30 – 33 , 102 ]. Inskeep (in [ 31 ]) reports red (and rare orange and yellow) ochre in all Kisese II strata from spit XXVI (>43 ka cal BP) upwards, and red ochre was used to make many of the extant paintings at the site.…”

“…Wherever possible, published radiocarbon ages were calibrated using the Intcal13 dataset [77] and graphed with the median calibrated age. We selected an arbitrary maximum age of 10,000 years BP for beads to include in this study, which excluded many beads including those from Bushman Rockshelter, which date to 10,930 cal BP [78]. Our data include completed beads (Stage 7a), as well as completed but broken beads with >50% of the diameter preserved (Stage 7b) (stages per [11]).…”

“…The presence of several perforated beads bearing ochre residues and made from giant snail shells (Achatina sp. ), ostrich eggshells and marine shells (Nassarius kraussianus) should be noted (Dayet et al, 2017). Finally, the LSA sequence is characterised by exceptionally well-preserved botanical remains such as seeds (cf.…”
