Providing context to the Homo naledi fossils: Constraints from flowstones on the age of sediment deposits in Rising Star Cave, South Africa
Jessie L. Robbins, Paul H.G.M. Dirks, Eric M. Roberts et al., 2021. Chemical Geology 567: 120108.
A U-Th chronology of flowstones across the cave system that constrains when passages were open and when sediment entered the chambers, and discusses alternative openings such as the Postbox, which would shorten the route into the Dinaledi Subsystem.
What it's used for here
The main source on how and when the chambers could have been reached.
