World renown archaeological caves sites - Mossel Bay - that yielded the earliest evidence for the origins of modern humans c.a. 160 000 years ago<\/p><\/div>\n

Heritage resources (see Archaeology & Heritage) are protected by the National Heritage Resources Act, No. 25 of 1999 (NHRA) and may not be disturbed in any way without a permit issued by the South African Heritage Resources Agency or a Provincial Heritage Resources Authority (see www.nationalmonuments.co.za<\/a>).\u00a0 Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are now a mandatory branch of Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) that are submitted for consideration by the Dept of Environmental Affairs and Development Planning or other relevant state department(s).<\/p>\n

Peter Nilssen provides services in archaeological and heritage resources management.\u00a0 Based in Mossel Bay, Western Province, South Africa, Peter it is ideally situated to provide services in the Western and Eastern Capes as well as the interior regions. \u00a0My trade is not restricted to this part of the country.\u00a0 Mostly, my services are required for development and rezoning of land. \u00a0The requirement for archaeological and heritage related studies is triggered by various criteria as detailed in the NHRA (http:\/\/www.carm.co.za\/SAHRA&HWC\/Sahra_Act25_1999.pdf<\/a>).<\/p>\n

We can cover all aspects related to archaeological and heritage related studies, assessments and mitigation because professionals – colleagues –\u00a0from various disciplines and specializations are excited to be part of a team that works together to provide excellent service to clients, but more importantly, to the heritage of southern Africa.\u00a0 I have started posting scientists and professionals under the colleagues category and there are more to follow.\u00a0 Colleagues make it possible to offer a broader range of expertise, services, a stage for referrals, contacts and consultation.\u00a0 We hope to be inclusive wherever possible and without compromising standards. <\/span><\/p>\n

\nArchaeological and Heritage Impact Assessments (AIA & HIA) are the most commonly conducted work, because they are a required component of Environmental Impact Assessments.\u00a0 AIAs and HIAs typically include the following:\u00a0 1) site visit and archaeological survey to establish heritage status of the study area – identify any sites or issues of archaeological or historical importance within the development area, 2) review available data regarding sites of archaeological or historical importance in the area proposed for rezoning and\/or development, 3) describe the historical and\/or archaeological significance of sites that may be identified within the development area, 4) assess the impact of the proposed development on historical and\/or archaeological sites described, 5) recommend mitigatory measures that should be implemented prior to and during the construction phase should any potential sites be endangered by, and uncovered by development and construction activities, 6) prepare and submit a HIA Report to the client and\/or Environmental Consultant that will meet requirements set by SAHRA and\/or a PHRA (usually HWC) in terms of the NHRA. <\/span><\/p>\n
