Florisbad ranks amongst the country's more important Middle Stone Age fossil localities because of the discovery of the largely intact archaic Homo Sapiens cranium and associated fauna.[1] The Florisbad Skull had previously been classified as Homo helmei. This specimen was relatively the same size as modern humans, with a slightly larger brain volume of 1,400 cm3. They are associated with the start of the most important revolutions in human technology[2] The skull was also found with Middle Stone Age tools.[3]
