Where dams have been built, heritage studies have provided crucial data for improving our understanding of local archaeological sequences. Ahead of the construction of the Lesotho Highland Development Authority’s (LHDA) new Polihali Dam in Lesotho’s Mokhotlong District and following the recommendations of a heritage assessment (CES 2014), a large-scale five-year cultural heritage management program was launched in 2018 that seeks to excavate and mitigate a number of heritage sites. Here, we provide the background to one of southern Africa’s largest heritage mitigation contracts by contextualising the current research program. We then present the archaeology of Lesotho’s eastern highlands basalt region using data collected during the inception phase of this program. The findings challenge current preconceived notions about the sparsity of archaeological remains for this region.

of Cultural Resource Management (CRM) professionals
from the Association of Southern African Professional Archaeologists
(ASAPA) in Irene, close to Centurion in South Africa.
The aim of the meeting was to start developing professionalism
within Archaeological Resources Management through the
evaluation of existing standards, the clarification of terminologies
and the development of communication structures between
professionals in this field.
During the preamble to the workshop, it became apparent
that the knowledge of legislation that impacts on cultural heritage
and the implementation thereof is one of the main issues
that confront CRM professionals and their interaction with
their clients on a day-to-day basis.
The aim of this discussion piece will be to evaluate the existing
legislation that has an influence on Cultural Heritage Resources
within SouthAfrica and then to link the different terminologies
utilized by different groups, such as CRM professionals,
Environmental Practitioners and State Departments within
South Africa.
