Patterns of early trade and interaction revealed along the south coast of Western Australia
Cultural monitors working at the Lucky Bay carpark development project, in Cape le Grand National Park, Western Australia, discovered stone artefacts - tools made by ancestors of the Esperance Traditional Owners. Some of these artefacts were uncovered over a metre below the ground surface, suggesting a long period of human occupation in this area. Most of the artefacts were made from locally-available chert, a fine grained material that forms within ancient limestone reefs.
