At Noordwesbaai, in the Vredenburg district, the bones of a baby were found in a scattered midden; the sand round the skull was stained with red ochre (G. Avery 1980 pers. comm.). Near Clanwilliam a Late Stone Age burial with three ochre-stained grind- ing-stones was found in Klipfonteinrand cave (Parkington & Poggenpoel 1971b). The coastal site at Die Kelders yielded the red child burial mentioned above (Schweitzer 1979: 181). Various other south coast sites, notably in the Robberg area, yielded painted burial stones (Fig. 21) (see Rudner 19716; Rudner & Rudner 1973 for summary and references). At Oakhurst there were various burials with ochre-stained skulls and bones, stones with red paint on them, palettes, and fragments of red ochre in the graves. One grave contained a small mountain tortoise-shell with blue pigment in it, and another some Donax shells filled with red ochre. A child skeleton had also been covered with red ochre (Goodwin 1938).. //// Fig. 21.
