Appendix I Aboriginal Heritage Assessment Appendix I (Artefact Heritage 2012) Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Assessment NB11462 Pacific Highway and Wyong Road intersection upgrade Appendix I Review of Environmental Factors Pacific Highway / Wyong Road intersection upgrade, Tuggerah Aboriginal Archaeological Survey Report Wyong LGA Report to SKM/RMS September 2012 Artefact Heritage ABN 73 144 973 526 PO BOX 772 Rose Bay NSW Australia 2029 +61 2 9025 3958 +61 2 9025 3990 [email protected] www.artefact.net.au Pacific Highway / Wyong Road intersection upgrade, Tuggerah Executive Summary Artefact Heritage was commissioned by Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM) for the NSW Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) to conduct an assessment of Aboriginal cultural heritage as part of the Review of Environmental Factors (REF) supporting a proposal for the upgrade of the intersection of Wyong Road and the Pacific Highway at Tuggerah. The proposal involves the widening of both roads and the intersection between them, and the replacement of the existing roundabout with a set of traffic signals. A new bridge over the railway line is proposed to be constructed beside the existing Wyong Road Bridge. This Aboriginal Archaeological Survey Report (ASR) complies with Stage 2 of the RMS Procedure for Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation and Investigation (PACHCI), as well as the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) regulations, including the Code of Practice for Archaeological Investigation of Aboriginal Objects in New South Wales 2010, and the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Consultation Requirements for Proponents 2010. No Aboriginal sites were located during the site survey, and the study area is assessed as having low archaeological potential and low archaeological significance due to the high levels of disturbance throughout. There are no constraints on the proposed development with regard to Aboriginal cultural heritage. artefact.net.au Page i Pacific Highway / Wyong Road intersection upgrade, Tuggerah Contents 1.0

  • Proposed Redevelopment of Gosford Hospital
    Proposed Redevelopment of Gosford Hospital Proposed Redevelopment of Gosford Hospital Preliminary Aboriginal Heritage Assessment Report to City Plan Heritage June 2015 Page i Proposed Redevelopment of Gosford Hospital EXECUTIVE SUMMARY City Plan Heritage has engaged Artefact Heritage to prepare a Preliminary Aboriginal Heritage Assessment for the proposed redevelopment of Gosford Hospital (the study area). The study area includes land bounded by Racecourse Road to the north, Showground Road to the east, Faunce Street to the south and Cape Street/Beane Street to the west. The aims of this report are to identify any Aboriginal sites which may be present within the study area and to assess the potential for as yet unidentified Aboriginal archaeology to be present within the study area. The background research indicates that the geology of the study area consists of Terrigal Formation deposits, which supported a rich array of flora and fauna. Narara Creek is located 600 metres to the north-west of the study area; which drains directly into Brisbane Water to the south. Therefore the area would have had a large array of subsistence resources available to Aboriginal people. The study area is located on a ridge top, which offers an elevated, dry camping location, surrounded by numerous subsistence resources. No previously recorded Aboriginal sites were located within the study area. An extensive search of the Aboriginal Heritage Information System (AHIMS) indicated that forty-one Aboriginal sites were located in the surrounding region. The AHIMS search revealed that spatial patterning of sites in the region are situated outside of the Gosford developed areas; located within surrounding bushland.

  • Aboriginal Convicts: Race, Law, and Transportation in Colonial New
    Aboriginal Convicts: Race, Law, and Transportation in Colonial New South Wales Kristyn Evelyn Harman BA (Hons) Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania May 2008 ii Statement of Authorship I, Kristyn Evelyn Harman, hereby state that this thesis contains no material that has been accepted for a degree or diploma by the University or any other institution, except by way of background information and duly acknowledged in the thesis, and to the best of my knowledge and belief no material previously published or written by another person except where due acknowledgement is made in the text of the thesis. Kris Harman iii Statement of Authority of Access This thesis is not to be made available for loan or copying for two years following the date this statement was signed. Following that time the thesis may be made available for loan and limited copying in accordance with the Copyright Act 1968. Kris Harman 19 May 2008 iv Abstract This thesis challenges the long-standing convention within Australian historiography whereby ‘Aborigines’ and ‘convicts’ have been treated as two distinct categories. It identifies the points at which these descriptors converge, that is, in the bodies of Aboriginal men from New South Wales sentenced to banishment or transportation. It locates their experiences on a trajectory extending from the early part of the nineteenth century through to the formative middle decades during which the rationale underpinning the trial and transportation of Aboriginal men was refined by the colonial state. In the opening decades of the nineteenth century colonial governors occasionally exercised their prerogative to banish Aboriginal men considered fomenters of hostilities against the colonists.
