ProposalDescription: 

Continued excavation at Sibudu (2931CA 070) in KwaZulu-Natal Province: For the next 5 years, the team from the University of Tübingen plans to continue excavating in the Deep Sounding at Sibudu. The ultimate goal of this activity is to reach bedrock and gain an understanding of the full extent of the geological and cultural stratigraphy of this key archaeological site in South Africa. As of the end of the 2012 season, the excavation reached the layer called Grey Mouse. A second important aspect of the excavation will be to link the Upper Excavation which in 2012 reached the layer called Black Magic to the place where we started in the Deep Sounding, layer BS (Brown Sand). Excavation will be conducted using excavations methods of the 21st century. The surfaces are 6m2 in the Deep Sounding and 6m2 in the Upper Excavation. Accompanying excavation activities, we will continue the interdisciplinary study of lithic artifacts, fauna, flora, geoarchaeology, dating, etc.
