Object Listing

Fragmentary human adult remains of a probable female, reported to Heritage Western Cape by Dr. Friedling. Age at death may be advanced adulthood; bone histology will assist with this aspect of the analysis.
SAMPLE: Most of the rib bodies seem to be from lower in the thorax: inferior groove slight to none, very little A-P width. Many are split longitudinally or have erosion so that a complete cross-section is not available. I am choosing a piece that seems relatively thick and that has a groove. While it is definitely not R1 to 3, I cannot be sure it is not below R7. I think it has the best chance of being in the mid-thoracic area, and from middle of the curvature.

Oil on Canvas

Stinkwood desk on stand or bible desk, Cape, c. 1750. Ornate ivory and ebony inlay work, including wind rose or compass medallion designs. Brass handles. In two parts. Top section with sloping lid resting on a base with four baluster turned legs and a cross stretcher. The base has a drawer.

The specimen is a domical wedge with curved marginal fractures beneath the anterior edge. A thin (≤1 mm), dark grey to black, glassy fusion crust covers ±70% of the surface, including the anterior and basal/posterior areas. The anterior displays radiating melt streaks, while the posterior shows thicker, high-gloss black glass with dimpled texture and sinuous, anastomosing melt "ribs." Lithologically, it is a polymict breccia with a fine-grained light grey-green matrix with minor opaque phases, and coarser-grained clasts. The clasts include an ~3 × 1 cm lozenge-shaped lithic fragment with fine-grained mineralogy, small (1-5 mm) black aphanitic basaltic fragments, and larger (≤1 cm), dark grey-green, polymineralic clasts, and minor opaques. There are dark grey-green clasts (≤1 mm) that represent mono- or polymineralic lithic fragments.
