Abstract:The archaeological sites under review in this book date back to the heyday of the VOC, from the late 17th to early 18th century. The vast majority of objects excavated at VOC sites was deliberately selected by the Company to provision their southernmost outpost at the Cape. The book presents a series of detailed, catalogued descriptions of the VOC collections excavated in three locales in the Castle, one at the VOC outpost at Oudepost I, and one on the farm at Elsenburg.
