ProposalDescription: 

ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT (AIA) OF DEMARACTED AREAS ON A PORTION OF KROONDAL 304JQ FOR THE PROPOSED KROONDAL HERITAGE AND GRAVES ASSESSMENT AT THE GLENCORE KROONDAL MINE, NORTH WEST PROVINCE

Expanded_Motivation: 

The author was contracted to undertake a heritage assessment at the Glencore Kroondal Chrome Mine on portions of the farm Kroondal 304JQ in the North-West Province. At present only underground mining remains as the old opencast areas have been closed and rehabilitated. At the Kroondal Mine, a number of burials on the mine property were not located during an initial Phase I Heritage Impact Assessment (Pistorius, 2010). Known to the mine, these burials were fenced off prior to the construction of a concrete storage yard in the vicinity of the graves. A claim was recently made that additional human burials might be present at the site of the storage yard and a site survey and GPR assessment were conducted to establish if human remains are indeed present at the site of the yard and in its surroundings. The HIA was commissioned to ultimately investigate the heritage status and sensitivity at the site of yard and in its surroundings.
