    Object Description

    Application for an export permit to export micromorphology samples taken at UMhlatuzana rockshelter to the Netherlands. Here the samples will be impregnated in resin and and thin sections will be cut at the laboratory of the National Heritage Agency. The thin sections will be analysed by Irini Sifogeorgaki under supervision of prof. Hans Huisman and Dr. Gerrit Dusseldorp. Additional sediment samples will be analysed for complementary information using loss on ignition and granulometry analysis. The study will provide crucial insights into the taphonomy of the stratigraphic sequence at the site.
