Lapa do Santo
Lapa do Santo, or Saint s Rock Shelter, is located in the Lagoa Santa karst, an environmentally protected region in Matozinhos, Minas Gerais, Brazil. Approximately 1,300 square meters of the site is located under the shelter of a roughly 30 to 40-meter-high limestone ceiling, with a flat and dry area to the south near the cave s entrance, sloping downward from the entrance toward the interior to the north and then flattening out again at the northern end (Max Planck 2015; Strauss et al 2015). The site was excavated from 2001 to 2009 and shows evidence of human activity dating as far back as 11.7 to 12.7 kyBP, with said occupations spanning three distinct phases:
105,000-Year-Old Kalahari Crystals Challenge Cultural Evolution Story

Science Newsreport, calcite crystals and fragments of burned ostrich eggshell and animal bone dated to 105,000 years ago have been unearthed in a rock shelter in southern Africa’s Kalahari Desert, more than 350 miles from the coast. Archaeologist Jayne Wilkins of Griffith University and her colleagues suggest that the eggshells may have been used as water containers, as they are sometimes used by modern hunter-gatherers, or were discarded after the contents were eaten. Some of the animal bones bear butchery marks. The calcite crystals, Wilkins added, are thought to have come from sources located about 1.5 miles from the rock shelter. None of the crystals had been modified for use as tools, and may therefore have held ritual or symbolic significance, she explained. Stone tools and a piece of red pigment bearing scrape marks were also recovered at the site, however. It had been previously suggested that cultural innovation at this time was centered
