SAHRA launches DVD of Archaeology Reports

The Report Mapping Project logo

The SAHRA Archaeology, Paleontology and Meteorite (APM) Unit is pleased to present version 1.0 of the Report Mapping Project. This DVD provides a bibliography and maps of the project areas of the Archaeology and Palaeontology Impact Assessment (Phase 1) Reports, currently on file at SAHRA. This will aid in the identification of previous impact assessment projects and their associated reports. It is for specialists and heritage managers. The mapped areas represent the location of previous assessment and desktop projects, not surveyed areas that have been cleared for development. Results and recommendations made by previous projects are not included here, and a specialist will need to refer to the original reports for this information.

The Report Mapping Project began as part of the DAC-funded Archaeology Site Register Project, and was transformed when the SAHRIS national audit and inventory project was established. The project began with the Western Cape reports, then included the northern Provinces of Limpopo and Mpumalanga and later also included the North West, Free State, Northern Cape and Eastern Cape Provinces. More recently, reports received from the independent Heritage Western Cape have been mapped in collaboration with their APM Unit.
