In this paper, Brian Buma (Integrative Biology) reports on finding the world's southernmost archaeological site, a hunting camp from ~300 years ago, that represents the furthest south extension of humanity prior to the industrial age. It is also the furthest out of Africa humans ever made it prior to industrial technology, as the tribes that live int he area arrived thousands of years ago.  The site is a small hunting camp, with a cooksite, butchered bones, and old bone harpoon points.
