Ngalue, Archaeological cave in Niassa Province, Mozambique
The Ngalue cave features multiple excavation sections including lower beds, middle bed, and hearth beds within its dolomite marble structure.
Archaeological excavations conducted in 2007 revealed human occupation dating between 105,000 and 40,000 years ago through radiocarbon and uranium dating methods.
The cave contained 727 stone artifacts, with 555 pieces discovered in the middle beds, demonstrating the technological capabilities of Middle Stone Age inhabitants.
Researchers can access the cave site by obtaining permits through Mozambican archaeological authorities and arranging transportation to the Niassa Province location.
Analysis of preserved starch on stone tools indicated that inhabitants consumed sorghum, African false banana, African potato, and various legumes.
