SYNOPSIS
Jaco has been actively involved as a professional archaeologist within the heritage management field in southern Africa for the past 10 years. During this time he worked at world renowned South African Universities and also as a consultant in the private sector. This experience provided him with an excellent foundation to act as facilitator between the challenges that development poses on our non- renewable heritage resources while adhering to academic principles and complying with heritage legislation. He is currently owner and founder of Heritage Contracts and Archaeological CC where he is responsible for the overall business management of the unit that includes the planning and directing of heritage surveys, excavations, grave relocations and consultation with indigenous communities. He held key management roles in successful projects including amongst others Eskom’s Spencer – Vunulu Power line and BHP Billiton’s Hotazel Manganese Mine. All projects were successfully completed within required deadlines as well as budgets and complied with Heritage Regulator’s legal parameters.
Jaco acted as council member for the Association of Southern African Professional Archaeologist (ASAPA Member #159) in the Cultural Resource Management (CRM) portfolio for two years (2011 - 2012) and is an accredited cultural resource management consultant with the ASAPA, AMAFA / Heritage Kwazulu Natal and the South African Heritage resources agency (SAHRA). Jaco was also a Research Associate with the University of Johannesburg from 2011 – 2013. He is well respected in his field and published in peer reviewed journals and presented his findings on various national and international conferences.
