Conclusion The comparative analysis of skeletal elements of angulate tortoises recovered from the Pliocene palaeontological site at Langebaanweg (LBW), through several highly significant rock shelters, including provincial heritage site of Diepkloof Rock Shelter (DRS), to late pre-colonial site of the terminal Holocene at Dunefield Midden (DFM) and modern sites at Worcester and Cederberg provided relevant information about the life history of these tortoises over a considerable period of time.
