Archaeologists attended the site on six different occasions to supervise work, to excavate and to examine sediments and fills which were to be removed. Discussions on techniques and methods to be followed were held with B.M.A. staff and contractors and advice was given concerning the procedures to be followed. This report describes some of the methods used and discoveries made during the attendance of the archaeologists, however there has been no attempt made in this report to interpret the numerous portable cultural objects found during excavationImprintPerth, W.A.
