While thepan sitesat waypoints 110 and 111contain temporally mixed Stone Age materials, the site at waypoint 118 appears to be exclusively Middle Stone Age. Although these sites do not preserve faunal, organic or other cultural materials, they are examples of human landscape use, in this case water sources,over immense periods of time. Thesesitesare considered to be of medium significance and are given a field rating of Grade IIIc. It is recommended that the areas around waypoints 110, 111 and 118 should be conserved in perpetuityas part of the National Estate and for potential future research. Temporary fences should be erected at these localities under the supervision of a suitably qualified and accredited archaeologist before construction commences to avoid damage or disturbance (see red polygons in Figure 6 and Plates8 & 10). The red polygonsalready allow for a buffer between archaeological resources and the surrounding environment. Management measures for these sites should be included in the Construction and Operational Environmental Management Plan for the development. This recommendation was accepted by the applicant and Figure 4 shows that the sites will not be impacted by the proposed development activities.
