note = "Funding Information: Stable isotope analyses were done at the Norwegian National Infrastructure project FARLAB (Facility for advanced isotopic research and monitoring of weather, climate, and biogeochemical cycling, Project Nr. 245907) at the University of Bergen, Norway. MS, WV, and PM acknowledge funding for the pilot data study to carry out the analytical work on Blombos Cave through the Bjerknes Centre for Climate research (Norway) Fast-Track Initiatives scheme (CAVEWAX). Additional support was provided to WV by the Momentum program of the University of Bergen, and a Trond Mohn foundation (TMS) Starting Grant (TMS2021STG01). This work was partly supported by the Research Council of Norway, through its Centres of Excellence funding scheme, SFF Centre for Early Sapiens behaviour (SapienCE), project number 262618. The simulations in this study were performed on resources provided by Sigma2 - the National Infrastructure for High Performance Computing and Data Storage in Norway through projects: NN9486K and NS9486K. The open access publication was covered by University of Bergen. Additional funding to CH came from a South African National Research Foundation Research Chair (SARChI) at the University of the Witwatersrand. The funders had no role in study design, data collection and analysis, decision to publish, or preparation of the manuscript.
