Howieson's Poort Shelter is a small rock shelter in South Africa containing the archaeological site from which the Howiesons Poort period in the Middle Stone Age gets its name. This period lasted around 5,000 years, between roughly 65,800 BP and 59,500 BP.This period is important as it, together with the Stillbay period 7,000 years earlier, provides the first evidence of human symbolism and technological skills that were later to appear in the Upper Paleolithic.

  • Howieson's Poort Shelter è una piccola grotta rocciosa del Sudafrica, contenente il sito archeologico da cui prende il nome il periodo Howiesons Poort della media età della pietra. Questo periodo durò circa 5000 anni, più o meno tra i 65800 ed i 59500 anni fa. Questo periodo è importante perché, con il periodo di 7000 anni prima, fornisce le prime prove di simbolismo umano e di capacità tecnologiche che si svilupperanno in seguito nell'paleolitico superiore.
