    Interpretation of Site

    CHINAMAN'S GARDENS - Interpretation of Site

    ARTEFACT SCATTER IS THOUGHT TO BE MOSTLY RELATED TO CHINESE MARKET GARDENING ACTIVITIES BUT COULD POSSIBLY ALSO REPRESENT SOME PIONEER SETTLEMENT OF BOORT AND ALOS SOME ARTEFACTS COULD POST-DATE MARKET GARDENS. EARTHWORKS - PROBABLY ASSOCIATED WITH THE MARKET GARDENS BUT MAY ALSO POSTDATE THEM.
