Abstract Antonieta Jerardino has raised a number of objections to our suggestion that very large shell middens along the Cape west coast are essentially processing debris. We recast the debate by using the difference between processing and domestic debris in these sites and argue that the logistical use of precise locations supports an interpretation of massive processing activities rather than massive population growth.

摘要 Antonieta Jerardino 对我们的建议提出了许多反对意见，即开普西海岸沿线的大型贝壳堆基本上是在处理碎片。我们通过使用这些地点的处理和家庭垃圾之间的差异来重新辩论，并认为精确地点的后勤使用支持对大规模处理活动而不是大规模人口增长的解释。
