南非西开普省莫塞尔湾附近的品尼高角（PP）以一系列考古洞穴和重要的考古发现而闻名。对其中两个（PP 13 B和PP 5 -6）的广泛挖掘和研究记录了以泥质为主和以地质为主的沉积交替期。许多洞穴没有人类遗迹的证据。我们详细研究了其中三个洞穴的残留沉积，楼梯洞，裂缝洞和PP 29，它们与人类活动的贡献在相同的地质和沉积条件下形成。他们的遗体是小而不完整的，但有广泛的洞穴形成（如大多数洞穴在PP），同位素分析的古气候和古环境重建。这些洞穴也提供了机会，了解纯地质签名的PP的地方，从而提供了一个地质基线的人为洞穴。考古学家通常只关注具有强烈人为信号的遗址，但通过构建洞穴生活史，我们在背景知识上“提高了标准”（Goldberg 2008，第30页）。
Pinnacle Point (PP) near Mossel Bay in the Western Cape Province, South Africa, is known for a series of archaeological caves with important archaeological finds. Extensive excavations and studies in two of them (PP13B and PP5-6) have documented alternating periods of anthropogenic-dominated and geogenic-dominated sedimentation. A variety of caves do not bear evidence of anthropogenic remains. We have studied in detail the remnant deposits of three of them, Staircase Cave, Crevice Cave, and PP29, which have been formed under the same geologic and sedimentary conditions with those with anthropogenic contributions. Their remains are small and patchy but have extensive speleothem formations (as do most caves at PP) that were isotopically analyzed for paleoclimate and paleoenvironmental reconstruction. These caves also offer the opportunity to understand the purely geogenic signature of the PP locality and thus offer a geogenic baseline for the anthropogenic caves. Archaeologists normally focus only on sites with strong anthropogenic signals, but by building cave life histories we “raise the bar” (Goldberg 2008, p. 30) on our contextual knowledge.
