- 2000 . Not addressed in this paper is the development (following completion of the Ancestors Gallery) of the Canteen Kopje site display and new Barkly West Museum, which was a community-based public archaeology project initiated by the McGregor Museum and opened in September (See T. Turkington, ‘Realising a Dream: Canteen Kopje and the new Barkly West Museum’, The Digging Stick 17, 3 [Nov. 2000], 1–3). Attention was then scheduled to be focused on the engraving site at Wildebeest Kuil. Discussions were held with the Xun and Khwe Communal Property Association in July 2000, at Schmidtsdrift, where approval was given for the museum to begin fund-raising for the development of the site. The funding from the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism materialised a few months later. On the consequent development of Wildebeest Kuil, see G. Laue, T. Turkington and B. Smith, ‘Presenting South African Rock Art to the World: Two Major New Rock Art Site Developments for 2002’, The Digging Stick, 18, 3 (Dec. 2001), 5–7;B.

Morris, ‘Archaeology for Tomorrow: The Site Museum as Classroom at Nooitgedacht’, Southern African Museums Association Bulletin (SAMAE), 18, 8 (Aug. 1989), 291–4;B.

Blundell, ‘The Politics of Public Rock Art: A Comparative Critique of Rock Art Sites Open to the Public in South Africa and the United States of America’ (MA thesis, University of the Witwatersrand,—and by David Morris, who had negotiated ideas for incorporating the multiple histories of the site at the July 2000 meeting at Schmidtsdrift. Final display and audio texts, based on drafts by Blundell, were written by Morris. The film, which includes interviews with, inter alia, David Lewis-Williams, Janette Deacon, John Wright and Tony Traill, was created by Berry Productions with guidance from Steering Committee members from Kimberley and the University of the Witwatersrand, chaired by Dr Ben Smith
