Evaluate the drafted changes
(Compose a detailed peer review here, considering each of the key aspects listed above if it is relevant. Consider the guiding questions, and check out the examples of what feedback looks like.)

Lead
The lead section is very good with a concise introduction to the topic of the article that makes it easy to the reader to understand what the Klasies River Caves are. However, I would add temporal information (the dates of the caves) too. Moreover, you could expand it a bit to cover the main sections you talk about in the article too.

Content
Overall, the content seems to be relevant to the topic. However, right now some of the content is incomplete (e.g., section on Human remains). Thus, you need to expand on those sections. It will also be worth to mention what sections of the main article you plan on keeping and deleting.

Tone and Balance
Overall, your tone is very neutral and nothing is particularly under- or overrepresented. However, make sure you check all of your statements so they are backed up by the references. Otherwise, you will be implying that some of your claims come from your personal opinion.

Sources and References
Overall, your references are from reliable sources and up do date. However, I would check the format of the citations under the reference list since some of them have red color as Wikipedia formatting finds an issue. Also, I would try to add some more references to add value to the article. Maybe 6-10 more references.

When it comes to links to other Wikipedia articles, I would add more. For example, in the Lead section you could add a link to the Middle Stone Age (I have seen you do add it later, but it is best if the link is there the first time you use the term).

Organization
I think that the section a out the "Excavations" could go first in the article body since it includes historical information about the development of the site(s). Moreover, I would place "Stratigraphy and Dating" before the "Paleoenvironment" section, but this is more personal preference.

Under the heading "Findings" when you talk about stone tools, I would not use the term "Tools" as a title for the section, maybe you could use "Archaeological material" or "Material culture".

I like that you plan to add a section about the Significance of the cave system, just be careful of not giving your personal opinion about it (remember the need to be neutral).

Check some misspelled words and punctuation. Some sentences are also difficult to understand, so I would change them to make them simpler.

Images and Media
I think adding some images could help improve the article by drawing the attention of the reader and clarifying some points about the text. I would start by adding a map showing the location of Klasies River Caves in relation with the important locations you mention in your text. In fact, this image already exists in the original article, so I would keep this and maybe add more information surrounding this map and the cave system in a similar way to what they did in this article: Olduvai Gorge.

Another good image could be to add a close up of the sites with photographs of the main caves and also a map with their distribution and how they relate to each other.

If you can, you could include images about some of the archaeological findings and/or historical photos of the early excavations there.
