“…In 2007, geological and archaeological survey of cave formations in eastern Ethiopia led to the discovery of several previously unknown or poorly known caves bearing anthropogenic deposits [ 38 ]. Among them, Goda Buticha (“Cave of the Ghost”), revealed a deep archaeological sequence, comprising multiple Paleolithic occupation horizons [ 30 ].…”

“…Despite the wadi below, the environment today is quite dry, receiving ~600 mm of precipitation during two rainy seasons supporting an acacia and scrub-dominated vegetation. Average temperatures in Dire Dawa are ~24° with a range of ~7°C (Ingersol, 1968;Wolde-Mariam 1972;Assefa, 2006;Assefa et al, 2014;Rosso et al, 2014;IAEA/WMO, 2016). The site was discovered by Teilhard de Chardin (1930) and excavated in 1933 by Henri Breuil and Paul Wernert (Teilhard de Chardin et al, 1940), but much of this material and contextual information have been lost and are not considered further here.…”

“…Within cave environments, laser scanning (combined with GIS data) has been applied to spatial reconstructions and mapping, often in conjunction with conventional spatial survey. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][29][30][31][32] Three-dimensional data can also be used in the reconstruction of previously worked sites which were excavated before technology such as terrestrial laser scanning existed. In one such case study, Puchol and colleagues 5 virtually recreated an archaeological excavation site using three-dimensional laser scan data and integrating the data with previously recorded archaeological data, to analyse the spatial context from over 60 years earlier.…”

“…With respect to early hominin sites, mapping the cave systems with reference to the excavation process is essential to understanding the development and movement of sediments and geological units, and has been advanced by several researchers in Africa and Europe. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] Because of the breccified nature of the primary fossil deposits of the Cradle of Humankind (Taung, Gladysvale, Sterkfontein, Kromdraai, Swartkrans, Makapansgat and Malapa), conventional archaeological recovery techniques using traditional methods of recording and planning of discrete contexts (production of single-context plans, overlays and sections, e.g. those used by fieldworkers in the UK) have been difficult to apply in South Africa.…”
