Salvage Approach Sample Clauses

Salvage Approach. Following completion of any cultural heritage surveys, the following approach will be implemented for salvage in the Highlands (Huli) region. Existing cultural heritage documentation gathered during the cultural heritage surveys will be confirmed for all traditional sites known to the landowners within the project area of disturbance. Any further sites identified in the process will also be documented. The following archaeological site types may be sample-salvaged prior to any disturbance, or if there is a reasonable chance of disturbance: • Cave or rockshelter with potential for stratified sub-surface deposits • Established grassland ridge with potential for stratified sub-surface deposits • Ancestral settlement (gebeanda) sites known from oral traditions with potential for stratified sub-surface deposits • Any area with dense stone scatters of stone artefacts. Pipeline and site construction will be monitored for exposure of stratified sub-surface archaeological materials, which shall be managed as per Attachment 3, the Chance Finds Protocol.

Salvage Approach. Following completion of the cultural heritage baseline surveys, the following approach will be implemented. Two protected zones may be declared for two sites that will be avoided by the Project: • Konekaru in the north (the Konekaru Koita ancestral village site and its associated beach) • Aemakara in the south (includes the Aemakara area and nearby Motu and Koita cultural sites. Areas outside the LNG Plant Site Security Fence or Bypass Road corridor (e.g. road building, laydown areas, quarries, Papa - Xxx Xxx Road Upgrade and the like) will not be surveyed or salvaged since the general area has been comprehensively characterized by the extensive salvage within the LNG Plant Site Security Fence and Bypass Road corridor. These sites will be subject to disturbance from construction and/or operations activities. Prior to construction, the Koita-Motu place names of the area inside the LNG Plant Site Boundary Fence are to be recorded by cultural heritage professionals. The aim of the sample-salvage is to obtain for present and future generations cultural- historical data about each of the most significant sites before any disturbance or site destruction takes place. These sites occur in an area of regional, national and international significance. People likely to have Austronesian linguistic affinities were living in the Portion 2456 area some 1,800 years ago, by all indications ancestors of present-day Motu/Koita. This salvage program will constitute a substantive archaeological record for future generations. In order to adequately represent site contents, an estimated area of 5 to 25m2 may be excavated at each of the large sites. Each medium-sized site may require 2 to 5m2 to be excavated. Each small site may require 0.25 to 1m2 to be excavated.
