Erb Tanks Master Lithic Database

Creator(s): Theodore Marks

Year: 2015

Summary

This database stores provenience and metric data for lithic artifacts excavated from 2009-2012 at Erb Tanks Rockshelter, a Middle and Later Stone Age site from the Central Namib Desert, Namibia. In addition, trace element data derived from pXRF analysis of lithic artifacts as well as several lithic raw material sources are included in the database. Coordinates for lithic raw material sources are provided in decimal degree format. Coordinates for Erb Tanks Rockshelter are redacted for the site's protection but are available to qualified researchers on request.
