"BIKR"

Explanation:
first-hand here is an adjective that modifies the "Sites". Yes, it is first time for these sites to be examined. We call that in arabic "BIKR". e.g. If a land to be cultivated for the first time ever we call it "Ardhun 3ethra'a". The same word is used for the bride who never married before...Hope I didn't talk too much...:) Good luck.

In context, first hand = directly (or "by themselves," as previously suggested)

Explanation:
Greetings.. taHaiya Tayyiba wa b3ad...

In this context, the term "first-hand" = "directly" (or "by themselves," as others suggested previously).

The expression refers to the observers of the sites, rather than the sites.
