5. An osteological comparison between bontebok Damaliscus pygargus pygargus and blesbok, Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi and its bearing on the evolution of bontebok

Abstract

The alcelaphine species Damaliscus pygargus has two subspecies: the bontebok Damaliscus pygargus pygargus and the blesbok Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi. On analogy with black wildebeest evolution, it is thought that the two subspecies became biogeographically distinct during the Last Glacial, when lowered sea levels exposed additional plains habitat on the continental platform. This would have caused reproductive isolation between interior and coastal populations with the Cape Fold Mountains acting as biogeographic barrier. The aim of this study was to test the possibility of the osteological discrimination between the two subspecies by using reference specimens from the National Museum, Bloemfontein, and Iziko South African Museum, Cape Town. It was hypothesized that bone morphology and measurements would serve to differentiate between the subspecies, which are adapted to different environments, and thus experience different stresses. However, results showed no significant differences between the two subspecies osteologically.

Abstract

This container has been determined to be a pocket shrine due to the cross as an indicator of Christianity and its similarity to other pocket shrines. These can also be known as personal shrines or travel shrines. Most likely carved of bone, the shrine is composed of two cylindrical sections that fit together, one inside the other. The inner section includes the base of the shrine, and has a rectangular opening to display a religious figure that would be housed within, such as the Virgin Mary. In this case however the figure is absent. The outer section fits on top and also has a rectangular opening; when the base is rotated, the figure within could be revealed or obscured. A cross has also been carved out of the material at the top.
