South Africa is mostly known in deep time archaeology for its cave sites, but some areas have important river terrace, lakeshore, and dune deposits also. The Cornelia-Uitzoek site in the Free State has a bone bed approximately 1 million years old, with abundant fossil remains of extinct mammals, Acheulean bifaces and other artifacts. Survey there recovered a single first upper molar of an unidentified species of Homo.
