Butzer, Anne Thackeray & Francis Thackeray</td></tr></tbody></table> <p><b>Wonderwerk Cave</b> is an archaeological site, formed originally as an ancient solution cavity in <a href="/wiki/Dolomite_(rock)" title="Dolomite (rock)">dolomite</a> rocks of the <a href="/wiki/Asbestos_Mountains" title="Asbestos Mountains">Kuruman Hills</a>, situated between Danielskuil and <a href="/wiki/Kuruman" title="Kuruman">Kuruman</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Northern_Cape_Province" class="mw-redirect" title="Northern Cape Province">Northern Cape Province</a>, South Africa. It is a National Heritage Site, managed as a satellite of the <a href="/wiki/McGregor_Museum" title="McGregor Museum">McGregor Museum</a> in Kimberley. Geologically, hillside erosion exposed the northern end of the cavity, which extends horizontally for about 140 m (460 ft) into the base of a hill. Accumulated deposits inside the cave, up to 7 m (23 ft) in-depth, reflect natural sedimentation processes such as water and wind deposition as well as the activities of animals, birds, and human ancestors over some 2 million years. The site has been studied and excavated by <a href="/wiki/Archaeologists" class="mw-redirect" title="Archaeologists">archaeologists</a> since the 1940s and research here generates important insights into human history in the subcontinent of Southern Africa.<sup id="cite_ref-BeaumontVogel2006_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-BeaumontVogel2006-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span
