dc.description.abstract	The palaeoclimate of southern Africa for the last twenty thousand years is investigated through the production of palaeoclimate maps based on an analysis of literature and data from the ongoing PASH project. The trends from the maps are compared with published reviews and modelling studies of the region' s palaeoclimates, and are contextualised in terms of global palaeoceanographic and palaeoclimatic dynamics. The changes evident in the past climate of southern Africa tend to mirror global climate changes, however, evidence exists that the timing of climate changes between the two hemispheres are not quite synchronous, and may 110tfit present theories of global palaeoclimate dynamics,	en_ZA
