Site Comments:

hundreds, if not thousands of silcrete stone artefacts mostly flakes chunks and shattered pieces of stone, occur on the steep, south facing slopes of large hilock on the northern banks of sout river, inside mining Blocks 6,7 and 9 .The hilock is associated with extensive outcroppings of silcrete ; a very desirable raw material used for making stone artefacts, and was clearly targeted by Late Stone Age People . The hill is heavily infested with alien and natural vegetation and pioneer grasses. outcroppings of silcrete and LSA tools were also documented among thick stands of port jackson near gravel roads.
