Map showing historic burial grounds overlayed with contemporary sites of 'discovered' burial grounds in Green Point, Cape Town

<p dir="ltr"><i>This map is derived from a forthcoming Master's thesis comparing Tweede Nuwe Jaar and Cape Town Carnival by Caitlin Honeywell. It is also featured in an article for the Archaeological Review from Cambridge 40(2).</i></p><p dir="ltr">The map shows the route of the Cape Town Carnival along Somerset Road in a dotted red line. It passes through historic burial grounds as labelled on the 1891 Cape Town sewerage map. I have numbered some of the relevant sites that archaeologists have exhumed, often in the initial stages of development projects (except the Tana Baru kramat). The top layer shows the current city grid.</p><p dir="ltr">The current grid and historic basemap are available freely on the <a href="https://citymaps.capetown.gov.za/EGISViewer/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">City of Cape Town map viewer</a>. The annotations of 'discovered' burial grounds are based off a map from Malan, A. et al. 2017. <i>Grave encounters: archaeology of the burial grounds, Green Point, South Africa</i>. Cape Town: ACO Associates. The CTC route is from their parade map for 2025, available <a href="https://capetowncarnival.com/2025-carnival/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">on their website</a>.</p>
