 It is noted that in parts of South Africa, the Robberg stone tool technology terminates at about 12,800 cal yr BP, co-terminus with the termination of the Clovis technocomplex in North America, but further work is required to assess this coincidence.In 2019 research at White Pond near Elgin, South Carolina, conducted by Christopher Moore and 16 colleagues from the University of South Carolina, used a core to extract sediment samples from underneath the pond.The samples, dated by radiocarbon to the beginning of the Younger Dryas, were found to contain a large platinum anomaly, consistent with findings from other sites, A large soot anomaly also was also found in cores from the site.
