Abstract

Abstract The commissioning by South Africa’s Department of Water and Sanitation of a new and higher wall for the Clanwilliam Dam will increase dam storage and provide additional water for emerging and existing commercial farmers. But there is a cost to South African heritage. The raising of the wall will flood 27 rock art sites as well as other archaeological and historical resources. In partial mitigation of this impact on heritage the removal of particular pieces of rock art was approved by Heritage Western Cape, the provincial heritage agency. This report focuses on the removal process and techniques used to cut out three pieces of rock art under the management of PGS Heritage between 18 April 2016 and 7 May 2016 from the sites designated CDE02 and CDW10. Publication of the techniques used and the procedures followed will add to the sparse literature on rock art removal and increase the accessibility and availability of information about the removed stones.

南非西开普省Clanwilliam大坝加高对岩石艺术的影响：技术和程序

摘要南非水利和卫生部为Clanwilliam大坝启用了一堵新的更高的墙，这将增加大坝的蓄水量，并为新兴和现有的商业农民提供额外的水。但南非的传统也有代价。这堵墙的加高将淹没27处岩石艺术遗址以及其他考古和历史资源。为了部分缓解这种对遗产的影响，西开普省遗产局批准移除特定的岩石艺术作品。本报告重点介绍了在2016年4月18日至2016年5月7日期间，在PGS Heritage的管理下，从指定为CDE02和CDW10的遗址中切割出三件岩画的移除过程和技术。公布所使用的技术和所遵循的程序将增加关于岩石艺术移除的稀疏文献，并增加有关移除石头的信息的可访问性和可用性。

期刊介绍： The journal Conservation and Management of Archaeological Sites (CMAS) has established itself as the primary reference in this field, both for active professionals and for university teachers and students. Launched in 1995, it is the only journal that covers both theoretical and practical issues in heritage site management and conservation. Peer-reviewed papers from around the world report on new thinking and best practice in site management and conservation. Topics covered include: •Cultural, social, ethical and theoretical issues in archaeological site management and conservation •Site management •Historical documentation and condition reporting •Site deterioration and environmental monitoring •Preventative conservation, including reburial and protective sheltering of sites •Building materials analysis and treatment •Restoration and reconstruction of buildings •Visitor management and sustainable tourism •Site interpretation •National and international legislation and charters
