Abstract
Some time ago, as part of a broader project surveying the state of the discipline in South Africa, I began collecting information on the profile of students enrolling in courses in archaeology at South African universities. I also looked at archaeology syllabi at the major teaching institutions, with an eye to the kinds of headings and topics in terms of which archaeology was being taught. As a side project I looked at the number and nature of projects in archaeology receiving funding from the National Research Foundation (NRF), the major local funder of archaeological activity. In this paper I present the results of this survey for the period 1987-2005.
