THE Canberra Archaeological Society is hosting a field excursion to an archaeological rock art site.

Participants will obtain experience in archaeological procedures including how to record rock art sites, site investigation, and photographing rock art sites.

The walk goes to the Yankee Hat rock art site located in Namadgi National Park’s Gudgenby Valley. The site is accessed after a stroll through expansive grasslands dotted with kangaroos and beautiful mountain views on Saturday July 9, from 11:00 – 3:30pm’ish.

To participate, meet at Yankee Hat car park on Old Boboyan Road (which is off the Boboyan Road) southern Namadgi National Park, ACT. Be aware that the fieldwork will involve a 6km walk.

To ensure a place in the session interested people should contact Iain Johnston at iainjohnston@anu.edu.au. CAS members may be able to offer lifts to those without their own transport but you must contact Iain the week before the day to seek a lift or offer one.

Recommended dress includes a sun hat, a warn coat and stout footwear. If it is raining on the day the event will be postponed.

Bring An A4 clip board HB pencil. sharpener, eraser, ruler. a few sheets of plain A4 paper, compass (if you have one), camera (if you have one), plenty of water and your lunch.
