The Zamani Project spatially documented the Rock Art Site CDE 2 in 2015. Clanwilliam Dam, Cederberg, South Africa. (See also Rock Art Site CDE 1 and CDW10
Three Rock Art sites on the banks of the Clanwilliam dam in the Cederberg, South Africa, will soon lie underwater as the height of the dam wall is being raised to increase the full capacity level of the dam. These sites are considered important heritage to the area as the painting were drawn by the San 2000 years ago and represent the way of life of the peoples of those times. The Zamani Project was tasked with the spatial documentation of these sites before they are destroyed. The archaeology surrounding the dam, which includes stone tools and other evidence of early human occupation, is currently being recorded by archaeologists. Excavations are underway at each of the rock art sites and surrounding areas.
