2.0 Key to reasons for scheduling archaeological sites

1.0 Introduction

This appendix contains key information about scheduled archaeological sites. In particular it identifies:

• The location of scheduled sites, including the site surrounds.
• The category (A or B) applying to each site.
• The reasons for scheduling each site.

Scheduled archaeological sites are shown on the planning maps. Part 7 - Heritage contains the objectives, policies and rules applying to such sites.

Section 4.0 of this appendix contains diagrams of the scheduled sites. Some sites have been grouped within a common site surrounds. Those site surrounds diagrams are contained in section 5.0.

The diagrams in sections 4.0 and 5.0 are ordered according to their planning map reference number.

Section 6.0 lists scheduled sites on Browns Island, Motuihe and Motutapu.

2.0 Key to reasons for scheduling archaeological sites

Each diagram includes a record of the reasons for scheduling the particular site. The reasons relate to the criteria identified in appendix 4 - Criteria for scheduling heritage items. The list of reasons for scheduling archaeological sites are as follows:

The reasons are identified on each diagram in the following manner:

1. A capital letter (eg A, D, O) means that the scheduled site scored significantly (ie above the median) for this criteria.
2. A lower case letter (eg a, d, o) means that the scheduled site has scored moderately (ie below the median) for this criteria.
3. Where a letter is omitted, the scheduled site has not scored against this criteria.

Further information about the criteria for scheduling archaeological sites is contained in appendix 4.

3.0 Notes and disclaimers

The New Zealand Historic Places Trust

This appendix of archaeological sites scheduled by the council is not the same as those of the New Zealand Historic Places Trust listed in The Register of Historic Places, Historic Areas, Wahi Tapu and Wahi Tapu Areas. It is a separate but parallel protection process. The scheduled sites in this appendix are in response to the requirements of the RMA. The Register of Historic Places, Historic Areas, Wahi Tapu and Wahi Tapu Areas is in response to the Historic Places Act 1993. Since a heritage place may appear in either or both lists, care should be taken to find out and fulfil any obligations arising from the place being included in either or both lists. All archaeological sites in New Zealand are protected by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust, whether listed or not.

The New Zealand Archaeological Association

All known archaeological sites in New Zealand are recorded by a New Zealand Archaeological Association (NZAA) file keeper. The NZAA is not a regulatory body. Protection is given to all archaeological sites in New Zealand whether recorded or not recorded, by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust as required by the Historic Places Act 1993.

Disclaimer for all diagrams in appendix 1a

The scheduled sites are defined by latitude and longitude coordinates. The polygon, shown on the diagrams as a green outline, is defined by the coordinates provided and forms the definitive identity and location of the scheduled site, with all other identifying information (address etc) being supplementary

Some diagrams may include parts of a site extending below mean high water springs (MHWS). Areas below MHWS fall within the jurisdiction of the Auckland Regional Council, and are therefore outside the jurisdiction of this Plan. Any areas below MHWS are indicative and shown for information purposes only.
