Abstract
My paper discusses the Last Interglacial shorelines
of the South Cape with reference to findings
from the rest of the world. I call them Eemian
shorelines, and define Eem as an interglacial with
three peaks of sea level separated by two stadials
when the ocean dropped. I use the term Eem
though it has been wrongly applied in north-west
Europe (Kukla 1977). Other names have been
given to this interglacial; in the deep-ocean record
the stage is referred to as Stage X or Stage 5. It
has been dated mostly by Uranium/Thorium as
lasting from about 125 000 to 80 000 B.P. The
dates and the fluctuations will be discussed below
