Blombos Cave is a cave in a limestone cliff on the Southern Cape coast in South Africa. It is an archaeological site made famous by the discovery there of two pieces of ochre engraved with abstract designs, 75,000-year-old beads made from Nassarius shells, and c. 80,000-year-old bone tools. Some of the earliest evidence for shellfishing and possibly fishing has been discovered at the site and dates to c. 140,000 years ago. The engraved pieces of ochre dated 70000 BC are regarded as the oldest known artwork. but very much simpler than the cave paintings and figurines; the next earliest found in Europe after 40u200a000 BP. The date of engraved orche is not firmly confirmed: 100 ka, 75 k, 77k 70-90 k. There seem to be debate where are the older symbolic artifact in southern coast of Africa or Levant which my be 25 ka older or African are 35 ka older There is question what the abstract art of the paleo-artist mean to symbolize but this usual problem in abstract art and apparent XXX theme may be misleading.
