Case Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

This proposal is to export three resinated blocks of archaeological sediments from the site of Waterfall Bluff to Spectrum geophysics in Vancouver, Canada. The purpose of the proposed work by Spectrum is to create thin section slides of the sediments for analysis.

Expanded_Motivation: 

The purpose of this application is to receive an export permit for three resonated micromorphological sediment slabs for thin section analysis. The samples were collected in 2019 during fieldwork specified in ECPHRA permit No. 2/2/APM-PERMIT/15/03/001-. The samples will be sent to Spetrum Petrographics where a thin veneer of material will be transferred to microscopic slides for petrographic analysis. The slides and resonated slabs will all be returned to South Africa upon completion of the work. No substantial portion of any sample is expected to be destroyed. The samples were all collected from the site of A2SE-1 (Waterfall Bluff) in the Lambasi District of the Eastern Cape Province.
