DETAILS

TitleArchaeology of Queensland's First Settlement SiteAlternative titleRedcliffe Library's project to unearth the site of Queensland's first settlementArchaeological digDescriptionCopy of content from the blog created for a series of archaeological digs led by Redcliffe City Library.

In 2007 the Redcliffe City Library successfully applied for a Q150 grant to conduct an archaeological investigation into Queensland’s first settlement site at Redcliffe. The non-invasive investigation of selected first settlement sites was carried out in Archaeology Week 2008 over two full days, Sunday and Monday, May 18, 19. Site work was supervised by Dr Jon Prangnell, UQ, and Pat Gee, Redcliffe Local History librarian. Using Ground Penetrating Radar and Magnetic Gradiometry, two Georadar engineers undertook the investigation the aim of which was to find evidence of footings of the first settlement buildings at the Peninsula Eye Hospital site and the backyard of an Anzac Avenue residence, and evidence of a kiln in Corscadden Park.
