Archaeological Monitoring at GPBG

Expanded_Motivation:

KWCE is in the process of installing fibre optic cables in the Green Point area. On 28 July 2016, human remains were uncovered during the course of trenching activities. Mr Guy Thomas of HWC conducted a site inspection and collected some of the disturbed remains. HWC recommended that the remainder of excavations be monitored by an archaeologist and that the existing spoil heaps resulting from the trenching be sieved. CTS is applying for an emergency, pre-emptive permit in terms of section 36 of the NHRA should any additional human remains material be uncovered through this process. Cedar Tower Services will be responsible for monitoring the remainder of trenching excavations along Napier Street and Prestwich Street and for sieving the existing spoil heaps resulting from trenching. Should any archaeological or human remains material be uncovered during the course of trenching, work will cease immediately and the remains will be collected. Any archaeological or human remains collected will initially be taken to the UCT Anatomy Department for preliminary identification work to be conducted, and thereafter will be stored at the Prestwich Memorial repository.
