Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: 'n Pa en seun besoek die Melville Koppies-grot. Die blou plaket langs die grotingang meld die volgende:
"Die grot is 'n skeur in 2,9 miljard jaar oue kwartsietgesteentes van die huidige Melville Koppiesrif. Die grot het oor honderde jare skuiling gebied aan mense wat in die omgewing woonagtig was of verbygetrek het. Die terrein is in 1971 opgegrawe. 'n Analise van die argeologiese oorblyfsels wat in die grot aangetref is, dui daarop dat landbougemeenskappe reeds sedert 1500 nC van die plaaslike hulpbronne gebruik gemaak het. Toe die voorraad verswak, het hulle hul dieet met wilde plante aangevul en op wilde diere jaggemaak." Deutsch: Ein Vater und sein Sohn besuchen die Melville Koppies Cave. Die blaue Plakette für die Site lautet wie folgt:
"Die Höhle ist ein Spalt zwischen 2,9 Milliarden Jahre alten Quarzitfelsen des heutigen Melville Koppies Ridge. Hunderte von Jahren lang bot die Höhle Schutz für Menschen, die in der Gegend leben und sich in der Gegend bewegen. Das Gelände wurde 1971 ausgegraben. Eine Analyse der in der Höhle gefundenen archäologischen Überreste legt nahe, dass die Bauerngemeinden bereits um 1500 n.Chr. die Ressourcen des Gebiets nutzten. Als die Vorräte schwanden, ergänzten sie ihre Ernährung mit Wildpflanzen und jagten Wildtieren." English: A father and son visit the Melville Koppies Cave. The Blue Plaque for the site reads as follows:
"The cave is a fissure formed between 2.9 billion-year-old quartzite rocks of what is now the Melville Koppies Ridge. For hundreds of years the cave provided a shelter for people living around and moving across the area. The site was excavated in 1971. An analysis of the archaeological remains found in the cave suggests that, as early as 1500 A.D., farming communities made use of the resources the area had to offer. When supplies dwindled they supplemented their diet with wild plants and hunted wild animals."
