- 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: ‘As already noted, over 500 artefacts of the South African - and indeed, southern African - collections derive, either directly or indirectly, from the activities of its first Curator, Henry Balfour, who maintained an active interest in the region's prehistory (e.g. Balfour 1910 [Archaeological and ethnological research. The Times (South African Supplement) 5th November 1910]) ... collections acquired from professional and amateur colleagues encountered on his visits to South Africa. These include .... those from sites in the Western Cape donated by W.E. Hardy (1929.44.1-140). [MJD 14/11/2014]
