Background of the Recorder:Godfrey Hoehn was born in Formby, England in 1912 and at the age of 23, he moved to South Africa. He was a keen member of both the Mountain Club and the Archaeological Society. Once he had retired, Hoehn and his wife Margery traveled extensively recording isolated Archaeological sites. Hoehn was an extremely well read and knowledgeable man who's dedication to the archaeological society can be seen in his numerous contributions to the Bulletins of the society.
Hoehn's relationship with academics at UCT grew as he shared his information, observations and thoughts with them freely. He would often accompany student field trips to explore new rock art sites. The archaeology department at UCT benefited greatly from field notes and maps that they received from Hoehn, these documents are still available and continue to inform research in the field.
Godfrey Hoehn died in Cape Town on the 5th of August 1999. Even as an amateur Archaeologist, his contribution to the field remains invaluable.
