Abstract
- The article describes Sibudu's plant bedding, which was burned 73,000 years ago to produce carbonised fibrous plant material recognized in sediments and geological thin sections. The oldest Sibudu bedding covers an area of around one meter by two meter, but may extend beyond excavation grid. Sibudu's earliest plant bedding predates record bedding elsewhere in the world by around 50,000 years.
