For the first time we have been able to identify the remains of both sheep and goats in Natal during the sixth century A.D. Evidence for the presence of cattle also exists, but these animals appear to have been relatively scarce. The assemblage may provide the earliest evidence for domestic dog in South Africa. Nyala are also identified in an area well outside that of their current distribution. A very high proportion of young ovicaprines in the sample may be possible evidence for environmental deterioration.</p><p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">To cite this article:</span> Voigt, E.
