A Stone Age culture typified by the Wilton site in Cape Province, South Africa. It is characterized by the extensive use of small stone tools (microliths) fitted into wooden or bone handles, and corresponds to the Mesolithic cultures of Europe and Asia. Other characteristics include the common use of bone points and awls, and pendants made from ostrich eggshells or slate. It was distributed across grasslands from South Africa to East Africa, and some ruins were found occupying land in the shade of rocks or on the shores of lakes. It flourished mainly during the humid period at the beginning of the Holocene (Alluvial Epoch), and continued into the historic period, splitting into several regional phases.

南アフリカ共和国ケープ州のウィルトンWilton遺跡を標式とする石器時代文化。木や骨の柄にはめこんで使用する小型の石器=細石器が多用されたことに特色があり,ヨーロッパ・アジアの中石器文化に相当する。骨製の尖頭器・錐などの道具や,ダチョウの卵殻あるいはスレート製の垂飾が一般的に用いられたのも特徴の一つ。南アフリカから東アフリカにかけての草原に分布し,岩陰または湖岸に占地した遺跡もみられる。完新世(沖積世)初めの湿潤期を中心に栄え,いくつかの地域相に分かれながら歴史時代までつづいた。
