Avaliação dos impactos da extracção mineira de rubi sobre o provável património arqueológico em Namanhumbir, Montepuez

Abstract

Namanhumbir is located in a region with great archaeological potential, which, on the other hand, has been the scene of heavy mining activity, resulting in impacts that jeopardize the conservation of the archaeological heritage and challenge the fulfillment of its scientific, socio-economic and environmental role. The impacts of mining on the archaeological heritage emerge mainly from soil excavation, soil removal, vegetation clearing, access opening and the movement of workers and machinery. The incorporation of archaeological heritage into the EIA process is a legal measure, but also a technical and preventive one, through the EPDA phase, contributing to the knowledge of impacts and the implementation of mitigation measures, according to the project phases.
