HDP1 is an archaeological and faunal site located on the Hoedjiespunt peninsula at Saldanha Bay, South Africa, that has recently yielded fossil human remains. Artefacts from the associated archaeological deposits are identified as being Middle Stone Age. U series analysis of capping calcretes and analysis of the foraminifera and fauna associated with the human fossils indicate an age for the deposit in excess of 74,000 years before present, and it most probably dates to around 300,000 years before present. The fossil human teeth from in situ deposits at Hoedjiespunt are described and found to be large by comparison with modern humans but smaller than the known upper dentitions of southern African "archaic" Homo sapiens. The Hoedjiespunt molars are found to be morphologically within the range of variation observed in the teeth of modern Homo sapiens.
HDP1是位于南非萨尔达尼亚湾霍伊德斯蓬特半岛的一个考古和动物遗址，最近出土了人类化石遗迹。相关考古沉积物中的文物被鉴定为旧石器时代中期。对覆盖其上的钙质结壳进行铀系分析以及对与人类化石相关的有孔虫和动物群进行分析，结果表明该沉积物的年代超过距今74000年，很可能可追溯到距今约30万年。文中描述了霍伊德斯蓬特原地沉积物中的人类化石牙齿，发现与现代人类相比这些牙齿较大，但比已知的南非“古代”智人的上颌牙列小。霍伊德斯蓬特的臼齿在形态上处于现代智人牙齿观察到的变异范围内。
