13 DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Summary of Results There are 7 recorded archaeological sites within 300m of the proposed construction corridor. None of the 7 sites falls within the affected properties; however, there remains a possibility that unrecorded subsurface archaeological sites are present within the affected areas which may be disturbed by ground disturbance associated with the construction of the Tauranga Eastern Motorway. Archaeological Significance This part of the Bay of Plenty is rich in archaeological evidence of Maori occupation, the majority of recorded archaeological sites relating to the period before the arrival of Europeans. The recorded sites may be significant individually because of the archaeological information they contain relating to the history of Maori occupation in the area, but they also gain significance as components in a wider archaeological landscape. The nature and sequence of occupation over time is best understood with reference to the full range of sites within the area and the relationship between them. Any subsurface archaeological sites that may be present within the construction corridor may have the potential to ad to our understanding of the nature and antiquity of the surrounding pre European Maori cultural landscape. General Considerations This is an assessment of archaeological values and does not include an assessment of Maori values. Such assessments can only be made by the tangata whenua. It should be noted that archaeological survey techniques (based on visual inspection and minor sub-surface testing) cannot necessarily identify all sub-surface archaeological features, or detect wahi tapu and other sites of traditional significance to Maori, especially where these have no physical remains. Effects of Proposal The proposed construction corridor for the Tauranga Eastern arterial between Te Maunga and Domain Road will not impact on previously recorded archaeological sites. No previously unrecorded archaeological sites where identified during the April 2008 archaeological survey. However, in any area where many archaeological sites have been recorded in the general vicinity it is possible that unrecorded subsurface remains may be exposed during ground disturbance associated with the project. If sites are present they would be destroyed by the road construction. Should sites be located in the course of road construction, an Authority from the NZHPT would be required before work could proceed (see below). It is therefore recommended that an Authority is applied for in advance of earthworks as a precaution so that delays can be avoided. If sites are present they should be recorded and if necessary investigated under the conditions of an Authority from the NZHPT, to mitigate their destruction in the course of road construction.
14 Historic Places Act In addition to any requirements under the RMA 1991, the HPA 1993 protects all archaeological sites whether recorded or not, and they may not be damaged or destroyed unless an Authority to modify an archaeological site has been issued by the NZHPT. An archaeological site is defined by the HPA 2(a)(i) and 2(b) as: ‘any place in New Zealand that was associated with human activity that occurred before 1900, and is or may be able through investigation by archaeological methods to provide evidence relating to the history of New Zealand’. Authorities to modify archaeological sites can be applied for either under Section 11, in respect to a particular site or sites, or under Section 12, for all sites that may be present within a specified area. Applications made under S12 require approval by the Maori Heritage Council of the NZHPT. The tangata whenua should be consulted regarding applications to modify or destroy archaeological sites which have Maori cultural associations. Note that about 4 months should be allowed for the processing of authorities, which includes a statutory stand down period of 15 working days before an authority can be exercised.
