ProposalDescription: 

Permit Application for the Phase 2 Archaeological Mitigation for the site DUB004 at the Agrizone 2 Development, Dube Trade Port, Development Close to King Shaka International Airport in the Province of Kwazulu Natal

Expanded_Motivation: 

During monitoring of the site clearing at DUB03 a small subsurface deposit of ceramics was uncovered on the edge of the construction area. The area was immediately demarcated and barricaded with mesh and construction activity was halted and diverted from the area. The site of consisting of Early Iron Age pottery is located 350m away from a small stream and is situated on a slope on the western side of a hill/dune close to the summit. The ceramics found on the site seem to be Mzonjani ceramics dating to between AD450-AD750 (Huffman 2007). No other material culture was identified within the area of the site. The site is approximately 10m x 20m in size but could extend further east while the deposit seems to be at a depth of between 30cm-50cm. Indications are that the archaeological deposit extends eastwards outside of the development area. The aim is to collect a representative sample of the archaeological material on-site for analysis to determine temporal localisation, cultural affiliation and possible social structure and layout of the settlement. Adhering to the steps and methodology as set out in the uploaded motivation.
