Section 75, Watson for redevelopment as a residential precinct. Two Aboriginal sites (CF1 and CF2) comprising of artefact scatters were identified on the surface of eroded contexts. Site CF1 was situated on a sloping adjacent to a remnant creek line while site CF2 was identified on sloping ground of a spurline crest. It was noted that both sites did not represent in situ material and there appeared to be little potential for subsurface deposits (Navin Officer Heritage Consultants 2004).

          3.12                   Aboriginal Sites

       No Aboriginal sites have been previously identified within the Australian War Memorial Campbell and Mitchell Precinct study areas.

       No Aboriginal sites or areas of archaeological potential/sensitivity were identified in the Mitchell Australian War Memorial Precinct study area in the course of the current investigation.

       One Aboriginal site, isolated find (AWM1), was identified in the Campbell Australian War Memorial Precinct study area in the course of the current investigation. No areas of archaeological potential/sensitivity were identified. The location of the site is shown in Figure 6.3.

       Australian War Memorial 1 (AWM1) – isolated find

       MGA Ref: 695659.6093524 (GDA) {using hand-held GPS unit} CSMG Ref: 212822.603746 [using GEOMIN32 conversion program]

       This recording consists of an isolated stone artefact situated to the west of Treloar Crescent, in the eastern corner of the Australian War Memorial, Campbell precinct. The artefact was identified on an exposure on the crest of a slight rise, adjacent to the road (Figures 6.1 and 6.2). The find is situated 3 m from the road and approximately 20 m north of Treloar Crescent and Fairbairn Avenue junction.

       Significant ground disturbance associated with the installation of a gas pipeline and the spreading of road metal has occurred within the artefact location.

       The isolated find is a commonly occurring artefact type and is made from commonly occurring stone type. The flake occurs as a 'loose', possibly lagged or disturbed surface feature. The potential for subsurface and in situ artefactual material to remain at this site is considered to be minimal due to the shallow nature of the soil and the extent of previous ground disturbance.
       Ground exposure in the area was estimated at 80% with 30% visibility in the area of exposure. Artefact recorded at this location:
       1. brown grey volcanic broken flake; 23 x 17 x 3 mm
