1929 L. S. B. Leakey & J. D. Solomon in Nature 6 July 9/1 In order to avoid the use of ordinals in referring to the Pluvial periods, we have proposed the following nomenclature for the Pluvial periods which we have so far recognised: [table] Old Name... 3rd Pluvial... New Name... Makalian.

1959 J. D. Clark Prehist. Southern Afr. vii. 169 The Makalian Wet Phase probably equates in time with the warm Atlantic stage in Northern Europe, between c. 5,500 b.c. and c. 2,500 b.c.

1967 Nature 18 Nov. 673/2 There does not seem to be..sufficient evidence for the use of the terms Gamblian, Makalian and Nakuran to indicate climatic phases which may be correlated with possible pluvial or glacial phases from other parts of Africa and even Europe.

1968 Encycl. Brit. I. 283/1 Flint recognized evidence of..two post-Gamblian minor wet phases (Makalian and Nakuran).
