ProposalDescription: 

This application serves as notice of our interest to reapply for a full excavation permit for the Drimolen Fossil Hominin Site, Cradle of Humankind. This permit would serve to allow us to continue our work at this critically important site for the understanding of southern African human evolution. Further, our work at the site provides much-needed training for young career palaeo-scientists, and importantly those from the local area. The site is situated in Gauteng.
