We did the cultural heritage part of our course today. We got taken out to the Waterpunt Koppie to go look at Stone and Iron Age artifacts that could possibly still have bn there. Cobus explained alot about the history of the people here long before Sondela was ever born, how they lived, what they used the Koppie for, the different types of rocks that were found there and how they were shaped into weapons and tools. We then looked for artifacts ourselves, I found an old pot rim and a cuck used for breaking and shaping rocks into tools or weapons. There were lots of photos taken, it was an interesting and enlightening experience... and we got to play in the dirt and get our hands dirty.
