Ngalue Cave is an archaeological site located in the Niassa province of Mozambique.[1] Excavated primarily by Julio Mercader in 2007, Ngalue is a Middle Stone Age site.[2] Due to its relatively dry environment and the shape of the cave, Ngalue had very good preservation and not only were stone tools and animal bones found.[2] There were preserved starch grains on many of the stone tools as well.[3] Overall, this site can help add to our knowledge of the Middle Stone Age site in the Niassa valley and to our understanding of the subsistence of Middle Stone Age peoples in Eastern Africa as a whole.[4]
