有人提出，与南部非洲的静水湾组合有关的技术变化问题尚未得到充分解决。在这里，我们提出了一项研究，旨在探索静止湾点生产策略的区域和时间变化。我们将我们的方法应用于区域背景，比较了Hollow Rock Shelter(西开普省)和Umhlatuzana Rock Shelter(夸祖鲁-纳塔尔)的静海湾点组合。我们对点生产战略的解释意味着区域间的点生产惯例，但也强调了用于生产静止海湾点的可变性和区域内打结战略。这些战略可能反映了在南非约80ka至70ka之间的中石器时代后期，在组织工作中的知识转移系统方面的灵活性。
It has been suggested that technological variations associated with Still Bay assemblages of southern Africa have not been addressed adequately. Here we present a study developed to explore regional and temporal variations in Still Bay point-production strategies. We applied our approach in a regional context to compare the Still Bay point assemblages from Hollow Rock Shelter (Western Cape) and Umhlatuzana Rock Shelter (KwaZulu-Natal). Our interpretation of the point-production strategies implies inter-regional point-production conventions, but also highlights variability and intra-regional knapping strategies used for the production of Still Bay points. These strategies probably reflect flexibility in the organisation of knowledge-transfer systems at work during the later stages of the Middle Stone Age between about 80 ka and 70 ka in South Africa.
