KULTUURSAkE EN \ PO RT 1 MAY 2009 I Revised report Executive summary Withers Environmental Consultants requested that the Agency for Cultural Resource Management conduct a Phase 1 Archaeological Impact Assessment for a proposed retirement village type development on Erf 36 in St. Helena Bay. The subject property is currently zoned Fishing Industry and will be rezoned to General Residential to accommodate the proposed development. The property is vacant, but the demolished remains of a fishing factory are still visible on the proposed site. Much of the southern and eastern portion of the property is severely degraded, but the northern and western portion is still relatively undisturbed The following findings were made: A shell midden on top of a small dune hummock was documented directly alongside the fence line in the northern portion of the site. Shellfish occurs in open patches on the dune top and is also scattered fairly widely over the surrounding area. Stone tools in quartz, silcrete, quartzite and indurated shale were counted, but these are spread very thinly and unevenly over the area. -
What Lies Beneath Table Mountain Or All Models Are Wrong, but Some Are Useful
WHAT LIES BENEATH TABLE MOUNTAIN OR ALL MODELS ARE WRONG, BUT SOME ARE USEFUL Prof Alexander Kisters August 2016 WHAT LIES BENEATH TABLE MOUNTAIN OR ALL MODELS ARE WRONG, BUT SOME ARE USEFUL Inaugural lecture delivered on 2 August 2016 Prof Alexander Kisters Department of Earth Sciences Faculty of Science Stellenbosch University Editor: SU Language Centre Printing: SUN MeDIA ISBN: 978-0-7972-1614-3 Copyright © 2016 Alexander Kisters BIOGRAPHY rofessor Alexander (Alex) Kisters completed his Pgeology undergraduate studies and MSc at the Aachen University of Technology (RWTH) in Germany and obtained a PhD in geology from the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg. Subsequently, he had worked in the mineral exploration industry in South Africa and had held various postdoctoral and lecturer positions at the universities of Aachen, Cologne and the Witwatersrand before joining Stellenbosch University in 1999. Currently, he is appointed at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Stellenbosch, as a professor in structural geology and tectonics where he teaches under- and postgraduate courses. He has supervised and cosupervised over 50 honours students, 15 MSc studies and 7 PhD studies. Alex has held a National Research Foundation rating for the past 15 years and a B-rating for the last five years. His research focuses on a range of topics related to crustal deformation aimed at integrating field data with regional tectonic models and more generic processes of melt transport and hydrothermal fluid flow in the Earth’s crust. 1 ABSTRACT he geological evolution of the Western Cape remains elusive after over 100 years of research. Based on regional Tfieldwork and correlations, this contribution aims to develop a tectonic model for the deposition and deformation of rocks of the Malmesbury Group, the rocks that underlie much of the Western Cape. -

Evidence for an Increasing Incidence and Severity of Harmful Algal Blooms in the Southern Benguela Region

Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) may lead to catastrophic mortality During blooms, extreme phytoplankton concentrations may over a range of trophic levels and impact on fisheries, local species’ cause mortalities across several trophic levels, regardless of populations, conservation management and the health of both whether the plankton themselves are toxic.

This reported rise is supported food chain (e.g. by Alexandrium catenella12), or when toxins are by data from the Benguela coast of western South Africa, where, released directly into the water (e.g. by Karenia cristata13). During since 1930, there has been a significant increase in the frequency of non-toxic blooms, mortality results either from eutrophication HABs and a slight increase in their average severity.

Between Cape Town and Saldhana Bay, the beaches are a mixture of terrigenous and carbonate material. Those between Saldanha Bay and Shelley Point are carbonate-rich. North of Shelley Point, terrigenous-rich beaches were found. The decrease in terri- genous material from Cape Townto Saldanha Bay is a reflection of reduced delivery of terrigenous sand by rivers. The low content of terrigenous material in beach sands between Saldanha Bay and Shelley Point is related to the high biogenic CaCO3 in the rocky coastal area. In St Helena Bay the high percentage of terrigenous material is contributed by the Berg River. -

University of Cape Town A Blurred Paradise: insider and outsider perspectives on Paternoster Alyson Karen Smith ABSTRACT Paternoster is perpetually represented as being a tourist destination primarily through the use of imagery; yet this is often without interrogation of the primary narrative which when examined cracks in the visual façade surface. The overall objective of this research was to review the community conflicts through the use of an insider and outsider approach. This was achieved through using an insider qualitative, consensual, documentary style approach. Fieldwork, participant observation and interviews were used as inroads to the community and to enable the use of photography to explore existing narratives, why they exist and the possibility for alternative narratives.
