A farming site in southern Cape Province, South Africa, which has produced several Palaeolithic cultures and a human skull somewhat like that of Broken Hill. The skull ('Saldanha' cranium) is believed to be associated with late Acheulian tools and is considered to be of late Middle Pleistocene age. Traces of Middle Stone Age and Late Stone Age artifacts and pottery were also found.
