Contribuição para aplicação da legislação de protecção do Património Arqueológico em Moçambique: o caso de Massingir

Abstract

It is evident the effort made by the competent authorities (Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Eduardo Mondlane University) to protect the archaeological heritage in Mozambique. However, despite these efforts, the archaeological heritage remains vulnerable to destruction. This work intends to analyze the legislation on the protection of the archaeological heritage and contribute to its application, in Mozambique, through the proposal of a management system. The study was based on national and international experiences of protecting archaeological sites. Some more well-known examples in the country were taken into account: the archaeological sites of Matola, Manyikeni and Chibuene. The discussion of the problem centered around the archeological stations of Massingir, where the study presents some of the strategies and suggestions for the effective protection of the archaeological heritage. For the protection of the archaeological heritage to be effective and efficient, in this work, a management system that considers the involvement of society is proposed. (TRADUÇÃO NOSSA)
