Through my long-running collaborations with Dr. Andy Herries at La Trobe University, I have recently become involved in active fieldwork at the Drimolen hominin site; specifically the analysis of fauna from the newly discovered Drimolen Makondo deposits.
Further information about the active field research (including the joint La Trobe University-University of Johannesburg Field School) can be found at www.archaeomagnetism.com. Details of our faunal research at Drimolen will be forthcoming!
