Permits

1. If the permit holder is not to be present on the site at all times then SAHRA must be provided with the names and qualifications of the authorised representatives.
2. The permit holder must contract a qualified archaeologist to monitor activities on site during filming. We understand that you have asked Mr Peter Beaumont to do this.
3. The film crew will make every effort to ensure that the site is not disturbed. This would include:
• consultation with the archaeologist prior to any activities commencing on site to advise on any archaeologically sensitive areas which must be avoided;
• the use of heavy equipment on site, which may cause damage to the site, should be discussed with the archaeologist prior to filming to allow for alternative solutions to be assessed;
• the amount of traffic, ie. large numbers of people on site, should be minimized as much as possible to avoid excessive disturbance of the site;
• ensuring that the lighting on the cave walls to illuminate the paintings is used only after consultation and to the specifications of the archaeologist.
• Any fire on site must be controlled so that no overheating of the deposit occurs. We understand that iron sheeting and block boards will be used to prevent heat penetration. The archaeologist should also advise where you may make the fire.
4. A report must be submitted to SAHRA on or before 1 June 2005. We would be delighted if a copy of the film were to be included as reference to the report for the SAHRA Library. SAHRA reserves the right to withhold further permits if activities on site are not deemed satisfactory.
5. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to obtain permission from the landowner for each visit, and conditions of access imposed by the landowner must be observed.
6. It is the responsibility of the permit holder to protect sites during and after filming to the satisfaction of SAHRA and the landowner.
7. SAHRA shall not be liable for any losses, damages or injuries to persons or properties as a result of any activities in connection with this permit.
8. SAHRA reserves the right to cancel this permit by notice to the permit holder.
