Abstract
A careful survey of reports of early sheep in southernmost Africa comb ines with new radiocarbon dates to revise our knowledge of early pasto ralism in the Cape. The new chronology shows the keeping of domestic s tock and the making of pottery are not simultaneous and intertwined bu t separate events in a more complex history.
