03/04/2008 Archaeological findings shape our viewpoints

As part of the ongoing Freedom Project, a programme that commemorates the impact of the slave trade and highlights the links between historical slavery and contemporary human rights violations, Iziko Museums hosts a free lecture by Dr Antonia Malan, entitled ‘Unearthing Slavery: The Complex Role of Archaeology,’ at 18:00 on 24 April at the Iziko Slave Lodge Museum in Adderley Street, Cape Town.


Archaeological findings provide a particularly powerful testimony to slave experiences in South Africa. Dr Malan, an archaeologist and researcher based at the University of Cape Town, will discuss how archaeology unearths new viewpoints of our past and present.
