Unit. They are the:

            * Consultative Body Aboriginal Corporation (CBAC);

            * Buru Ngunnawal Aboriginal Corporation (Buru Ngunnawal);

            * Ngarigu Currawong Clan (Ngarigu); and

            * Little Gudgenby River Tribal Council.

       Contact was made with each group to inform them of the project and to organise representation during the field survey. Subsequently, Justin Williams from the CBAC, Don Bell from Buru Ngunnawal and Graeme Riley from Ngarigu, attended the program at the Campbell Precinct.

       Justin Williams (CBAC) and Don Bell (Buru Ngunnawal) were in attendance during the survey of the Mitchell Precinct, the team was accompanied by Craig Seaton from the Australian War Memorial.

       A copy of this draft report will be forwarded to the participating RAOs for review and comment prior to finalisation.

       Records of Aboriginal Participation for the field survey component of this project are provided in Appendix 1.

3.1  Literature and Database Review

       A range of documentation was reviewed in assessing archaeological knowledge for the Campbell and Mitchell study areas and surrounds. This literature and data review was used to determine if known Aboriginal sites were located within the area under investigation, to facilitate site prediction on the basis of known regional and local site patterns, and to place the area within an archaeological and heritage management context.

       Aboriginal literature sources included the Heritage Online database (HERO) maintained by the ACT Heritage Unit, and associated files and catalogue of archaeological reports.

       Searches were undertaken of the following heritage registers and schedules:

            * The National Heritage List (Australian Heritage Council);

            * The Commonwealth Heritage List (Australian Heritage Council);

            * The Register of the National Estate (Australian Heritage Council);

            * The Heritage Register (ACT Heritage Council); and

            * Register of the National Trust of Australia (ACT).

3.2  Fieldwork

       Fieldwork was conducted over one day in February 2008. Field survey was conducted on foot and involved inspection of all areas of ground surface visibility within the Campbell and Mitchell study areas.

3.3  Project Personnel

       Field survey was undertaken by archaeologists Rebecca Yit and Nicola Hayes. Sites Officers Mr Don Bell (Buru Ngunawal), Grahame Riley (Ngarigu) and Justin Williams (CBAC) were also in attendance. Craig Seaton (AWM) provided assistance at the AWM Campbell Precinct.

       This report was prepared by Rebecca Yit.

3.4  Recording Parameters

       The archaeological survey aimed at identifying material evidence of Aboriginal occupation as revealed by surface artefacts and areas of archaeological potential unassociated with surface artefacts. Potential recordings fall into three categories: isolated finds, sites and potential archaeological deposits.

       Isolated finds

       An isolated find is a single stone artefact, not located within a rock shelter, and which occurs without any associated evidence of Aboriginal occupation within a radius of 60 metres. Isolated finds may be indicative of:
