Conditions: 

Test excavations allowed for would include 180 test pits at 200 meter
intervals (on a 200 meter grid system) at a depth of 2.5-3 meters.
Digging may be extended up to 10 square meters only if something
indicative is found, and these extensions must be indicated in the report.
2. We endorse the use of a mini/ micro excavator, noting the challenges of
vegetation, up until archaeological deposits are encountered, and the
archaeologist needs to assess the findings before mechanical digging can
commence.
3. Where archaeological material is exposed, the excavation should be
stopped and the archaeologist must assess, record (describe and
photograph) the material in situ. The excavation must then be closed and
a marker placed to indicate the point of intersection.
4. Should a burial be encountered, it must be inspected as noted in condition
no. 3 above. The test pit must be backfilled and the position of the burial
indicated with a red flag.
5. All vegetation clearing, prior to test excavation should be monitored by
the archaeologist.
6. 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. Considering that we are dealing with a
sensitive terrain, the representative must be of same qualification and
experience as the permit holder.
7. Adequate recording methods as specified in the Regulations and
