Description: Archaeologists from the South African Museum and the University of Cape Town busy unearthing the dam wall found on Cape Town's Golden Acre. It is now thought that the wall is part of the reservoir built by Jan Van Riebeeck's successor, Zacharias Wagenaar. Although it suffered slight damage when the foundations of Cape Town's old station were sunk, it is still in good condition.
