6.1 Holocene Mammals

By the beginning of the Holocene, all taxa, apart from five species (see Chapter 7), were extant. A notable feature of the Holocene fauna is the appearance of various introduced taxa, both domestic and commensal. The domestic animals were, of course, introduced intentionally and their distribution expanded greatly as their human owners spread across the landscape. The distribution of two of the unintentionally introduced commensals indicates their arrival from the north; the roof rat Rattus rattus follows the route taken by Iron Age immigrants, while the house mouse Mus musculus almost certainly followed the same route, though there is only one record (Wadley and Turner Reference Wadley and Turner1987). The third taxon is the black rat Rattus norvegicus, which occurs only in the vicinity of Cape Town. It must have arrived from Europe on ships and seems not to have extended its range very far beyond its port of entry (Avery Reference Avery1985).

It therefore seems unlikely that this identification is correct.

Comments: material from the Koanaka Hills in Botswana is assigned to P. hamadryas by Williams et al. (Reference Williams, Ross and Frost2012), probably because some authors (e.g. Singleton et al. Reference Singleton, Gilbert, Frost and Seitelman2016) consider ursinus to be a subspecies of P. hamadryas. Here, Wilson and Reeder (Reference Wilson and Reeder2005) are followed in considering ursinus to be a full species.

Type locality: Mazoe.
Comments: Rhabdomys dilectus is again regarded (Wilson and Reeder Reference Wilson and Reeder2005) as a separate species from R. pumilio, but at the time that most of the fossil material was identified only R. pumilio was recognised as a full species. No fossil material has yet been identified as R. dilectus, but see comments under R. pumilio below.

6.2 Holocene Sites

So far, records for the Holocene have come from 414 sites (Figure 6.1). These cover much of the region but, as during the Pleistocene, show a gap in what are today arid, sparsely occupied parts of the region. Possible reasons for this gap in the record were mentioned with respect to the Pleistocene and may well apply also to the Holocene. In the Holocene, however, since all material comes from human occupation sites the existence of suitable sites for this purpose must have taken precedence, with bone preservation and attention by archaeologists being secondary explanations. Indeed, variation in the numbers of mammalian taxa represented suggests that this is the case.
