The background study revealed that the area was inhabited by descendants of the Khoisan and early colonial settlers. During site survey scatters of stone tools were observed to occur sporadically. However, these were found in densities of 0 - 1 and 1 - 2. The stone tools were identified in two different areas. (1. At an even area characterised by shrubs and grass, this area is nearby the dry water course which extends towards the southern section of the project area (2. And also near the area where there is a small artificial holding water barrier, this area is disturbed, and it appears some of the materials might have been moved from elsewhere to demarcate the dam. The surface finds were viewed to be of low significance since they occurred in low densities. No stratified sites, usually located in rock shelters or caves were noted in the area proposed for prospecting. There is however a possibility of some unknown sites that might exist in the project area.
