The primary aim is to develop a methodology that combines the analysis of historical documents with archaeological survey. The literature review finds that the dominant model of 'hunter' 'herder' identity has favoured deep stratified midden sites at the expense of low density sites and the open landscape. The model is also linked to the persistence of outdated typological analysis and the lack of research into post-contact indigenous archaeology. Historical sources are reviewed in terms of their potential for developing archaeologicalTown questions as well as for designing a survey. A small section of the Breede River is identified that includes a number of locations with specific reference to Khoekhoen settlement in the 17th and 18th Centuries. Thirty seven open air sitesCape are reported from survey in this area Three large surface concentrations of indigenous pottery and a stone and aloe enclosure are chosen for a further phase of investigation consisting of surface collection and test excavation.

  • 7. Water Quality
    Western Cape IWRM Action Plan: Status Quo Report Final Draft 7. WATER QUALITY 7.1 INTRODUCTION 7.1.1 What is water quality? “Water quality” is a term used to express the suitability of water to sustain various uses, such as agricultural, domestic, recreational, and industrial, or aquatic ecosystem processes. A particular use or process will have certain requirements for the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water; for example limits on the concentrations of toxic substances for drinking water use, or restrictions on temperature and pH ranges for water supporting invertebrate communities. Consequently, water quality can be defined by a range of variables which limit water use by comparing the physical and chemical characteristics of a water sample with water quality guidelines or standards. Although many uses have some common requirements for certain variables, each use will have its own demands and influences on water quality. Water quality is neither a static condition of a system, nor can it be defined by the measurement of only one parameter. Rather, it is variable in both time and space and requires routine monitoring to detect spatial patterns and changes over time. The composition of surface and groundwater is dependent on natural factors (geological, topographical, meteorological, hydrological, and biological) in the drainage basin and varies with seasonal differences in runoff volumes, weather conditions, and water levels. Large natural variations in water quality may, therefore, be observed even where only a single water resource is involved. Human intervention also has significant effects on water quality. Some of these effects are the result of hydrological changes, such as the building of dams, draining of wetlands, and diversion of flow.

  • Expedition 2020 Report Expedition Route
    Strandloper Project : Expedition 2020 Report Expedition Route. Expedition 2020 was staged in two sections; the first 12 days hiking the shoreline from Nature’s Valley to Wilderness between the 1st and 13th October followed by four days hiking the Otter Trail from the 24th to the 27th October. The total distance of coastline hiked was 205km along a mix of rocky and sandy shoreline. Where the terrain along the coastline permitted, we surveyed for washed up plastic pollution and fishing debris along the route. The Dirty Half Dozen For the 2020 expedition, the core research team had the addition of Pam Booth to replace Dr Louw Claassens who accepted a marine research post in Palau. From left to right, the research team with their acquired nicknames were : • Lisa Leslie - Limpet • Mark Dixon – Mussels • Amanda Dixon – Angel Fish • Pam Booth – Clever Clam • Chris Leggatt - Calamari • Melinda Morkel - Lara Croft The success of the expedition was deeply rooted in the unified passion for marine conservation by each member, and the concern of the threat that plastic pollution and fishing debris has on ocean health and marine biodiversity. Accompanying the research team on various stages of the expedition were Kei Heyns (manager of the Robberg Coastal Corridor), Keith Spenser (Cape Nature Catchment Area Manager) and Wayne Meyer (Cape Naturemarine ranger at Goukamma) and Mandie Janse van Rensberg (honorary member). pg. 1 Strandloper Project Expedition 2020 Report Data Capture All our data is captured electronically using Cybertracker, an information capture platform that records a geo reference for each dataset.

Jonathan Kaplan Abridged CV Surname: Kaplan First names: Jonathan Michael Date of Birth: 23 September, 1961 University of Cape Town, South Africa. MA (Archaeology) 1989 Since 1991 I have been working as an independent archaeological consultant specialising in Archaeological Impact Assessment with a focus on pre-colonial Stone Age, Herder and Rock Art studies. I trade under the name Agency for Cultural Resource Management. 1 Executive summary A Phase 1 Archaeological Impact Assessment of the proposed George Western Bypass Road – N2 to Outeniqua Pass has identified no significant impacts to pre-colonial archaeological material that will need to be mitigated prior to road construction activities. Six proposed alternative alignments (two in the southern sector and four in the northern sector) have been identified and each one was searched for archaeological remains. Since at least the early 1700’s, much of the affected area has been modified and severely altered through agricultural activities (mainly pasture farming) and is therefore in an already transformed state.
