Melkhoutboom: plants, craft, and Holocene households
No ancient self-designation is inferred from this research label or modern place name.
Melkhoutboom: plants, craft, and Holocene households brings preserved plant materials, excavation records and adhesive research into a local historical context. Deacon's study documents unusually informative organic remains, making plant use and perishable work visible alongside stone artifacts. Preserved household work does not demonstrate one uniform hunter-gatherer government or fixed gender division.

Transformação posterior, património vivo e recepção moderna
Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; the atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent or membership. Modern place names and technical traditions cannot identify every ancient speaker or descendant. Later research, restoration and heritage events are dated separately in the timeline.

Uma cronologia breve e documentada
Estes marcos servem de orientação e não constituem uma história completa.
-
Organic evidence
Plant materials preserve activities that many open-air sites lose; preservation is not a complete inventory of everyday life.
-
Fieldwork and synthesis
Excavation and Deacon's later synthesis established a major Eastern Cape comparison.
-
Monograph
Where hunters gathered organized evidence from food, tools and perishable technologies.
-
Adhesive research
Hafting analyses revisited technical choices in southern African Later Stone Age contexts.
-
Regional reassessment
Zuurberg research re-examined regional archaeology; it does not supply every Melkhoutboom date or identity.
