Abstract
⺠We analyse 23 worked bones from the MSA levels of Sibudu Cave. ⺠We use microscopy, experimental replication and ethnographic data. ⺠We identify wedges, pièces esquillées, pressure flakers, smoothers, notched pieces. ⺠We show these objects are at least 30 ka years older than those found in Europe. ⺠We argue these tools reflect a regional tradition.
