520 3 |a Wonderwerk Cave in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa has a record of occupation spanning some 2 million years, comprising flora, fauna and cultural artifacts and, therefore, potentially, has the most complete macrobotanical record associated with hominin/human activities. The flora is described here for the lower levels: the Oldowan Stratum 12 (ca. 2Ma) to the Late Pleistocene Stratum 5 (ca. 14ka). The older material includes calcified roots, leaf litter of small dicotyledonous twigs and seeds, grass and sedge culms. From Stratum 5, there are about 134 pieces of charcoal that have been identified to eight woody species. Assuming the firewood was of local origin, the climate during the latest Pleistocene would have been slightly more mesic than today's arid to semi-arid climate.
