- Referred to on page 24 of 'Stone Age Sub-Saharan Africa', by Peter Mitchell, in World Archaeology at the Pitt Rivers Museum: A Characterization, edited by Dan Hicks and Alice Stevenson (Oxford: Archaeopress, 2013), pp. 16-34. Mitchell writes: ‘A little later in date than the objects discussed thus far, but worth noting because they derive from some of the earliest explorations of the very rich archaeological record of the southern Cape coast, ... about 200 artefacts from Frederick Williams Fitzsimons (1910.34.1-33; from sites near Port Elizabeth)’.
