ProposalDescription: 

Kurukop, on the farm N'Rougas is associated with a water source and several rock engravings occur on the hill. There is a wealth of Later Stone Age quartz artefacts associated with these engravings. Archaeological excavations will test the association between the compacted earth, which may be hut floors, to the east of the hill.

Expanded_Motivation: 

To the east of Kurukop is an area of compacted earth, likely to be hut floors, with pottery, OES fragments and stone artefacts. In order to map the LSA material, a 1m grid (which may be divided into quadrants if required) will be established and the area of densest artefact distribution sampled by means of a surface scrape. All sand will be sieved through a 1,5mm sieve. Sub-surface excavations may be needed if there is evidence of any depth of deposit. In situ features, such as hut floors will be plotted to determine site layout.
