  • Greylingstad Mpumalanga Done by Do
    Archaeological investigations, done at Bakkiesfontein 568 IR, (Dipaliseng Local Municipality) Greylingstad Mpumalanga Done by Domonique-Marie Verkerk BHSC (Heritage and Cultural Tourism), 2011, UP BA Archaeology, 2012, UP Tel: 012 3333931 E-mail: [email protected] Department of Anthropology and Archaeology, University of Pretoria 5 October 2015 Summary Concentration camps were a tactic created by the British to end the South African War (1899- 1902). Many innocent Boer and African families were sent to these camps where they died of diseases, such as, poor conditions and lack of shelters. Boer families were sent to concentration camps in Heidelberg. Africans, on the other hand, were sent to the concentration camp in Greylingstad. A possible location for the African concentration camp in Greylingstad is Bakkiesfontein 568 IR. Unfortunately, there is nothing to show where this camp is as a fire destroyed many of the records. Bakkiesfontein 568 IR was chosen as a possible location for the African concentration camp in Greylingstad because of the old house, stream, stone walls, railway, SR fort and the African cemetery. Bakkiesfontein was surveyed by foot. The aim was to find the location of the concentration camp. Areas where pedestrian surveys were conducted included the house, barn, possible midden, graves, stone walls and stone circle. The pedestrian survey showed that Iron Age communities also lived on the farm. Three test-pits were also conducted. Areas where the test-pits were conducted included the midden, between stone walls and on a slope near a stone wall. The test-pits were not that successful. The artefacts found during the test- pits and surveys include; metal, ceramic pieces and pottery, glass pieces and even plastic.
