GC-MS analysis of medicine horns and poison quiver

This proposal is for permission to undertake chemical analysis of purported medicines and poisons. Approximately 10 mg of residue from inside purported medicine horn containers housed at the Ditsong Museum of Culture History and an equivalent amount of purported poison from Kruger Cave that was collected in 1983 needs to be removed for analysis. Both collections are housed in Gauteng Province. Chemical analysis will be undertaken at the Centre for Plant Metabolomics, University of Johannesburg by Professor Ian Dubery.
