Abstract:This paper describes the first excavation in Ghanzi District (Botswana), namely of a Late Stone Age camp site. Despite the small assemblage sample, it supports the general archaeological picture of minimal outside influence on the resident San by non-hunter-gatherers until relatively recently, although there was apparently some interaction with farmers, albeit possibly indirectly, as suggested by a few pieces of pottery.
