Biographical history
Brief description of site: The site has a promising deposit with a dense concentration of stone tool making debitage. Scrapers and blades are identifiable, quartz (very clear) and quartzite (whitish/milky). Pottery scatter is also evident, few decorated pieces were identified in the past, but on this visit none were identified. A few pieces of large and crude stone tools (hand axes?) partially late ESA were also identified. A chert core was also identified. There are also upper and lower grinding stones on the floor of the shelter. The site has a similar position to ZAM-DES1 with its view facing south which is restricted by trees. The sight is a large shelter excellent for habitation. There are considerable signs that the site has been occupied for a long period.
Brief description of art: Geometrics. The main section at the west end of the shelter consists of a very large number of lines and circles. The art is quite faint and would merit tracing. The images are done in red and covered by white sediment that is forming over the art (salt and dust). The panel continues for perhaps 2m.
