Talk:Australian Archaeological Association

Aboriginal Heritage Site Notified deleted

I deleted Gundagai (Aboriginal Heritage Site Notified but not Protected) and measurement error section as not relevant to article. the former is a discussion of a specific archaeological issue and a criticism of AAA, and the latter seems to be a comment for a discussion page, placed here in error. Both are written in first person, and not conforming with Wiki neutral point of view policy.

No Error

I put it there so you could read it. In my opinion its amazing that such a significant Aboriginal ceremonial ground can have so many games played with it. The Ngoon etc on the map I sent you is Nguen or freshwater mussle. Along Pope Street (first man)that is adjacent to the tree marked on the map and north of the tree, is a shell midden that is likely ceremonial. If the world just continues with the idea that both circles are on top of each other in one spot then any continuation of the ceremonial ground gets deleted so the actual 1225 yard distance between the two circles gets narrowed down to no gap between the two circles that also effectively cancels out the shell midden and anything else in the near vicinity. I have no idea at all why environment nsw have done what they did re marking out the large circle then apparently claiming the second circle was butted on to the first. Whatever, it alarms me and the potential for other elements of the ceremonial ground to be lost frightens me. johneen jones - gundagai

Thats fine, but the talk page is more appropriate - although the AAA discussion is not really the right place and generally the purpose of Wikipedia is not to about conveying personal views.

I don't have any particular interest in Gundagai, apart from dropping in to the bakery en route to Sydney. Garyvines (talk) 11:09, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your personal views above but hopefully one or two others will see what I put too. It was not there just for you to read believe it or not. I'd have put it on Ozarch but you wanted my uni etc and I didnt think my then uni, your concern as that was not in our course guide so told you to forget Oz arch. My stuff is more intertesting than double bagging though. Whatever, today I spoke with Council and they want something in writing so I then emailed Philip Boot who put the bollards around the large circle+ here to tell him that I spoke to Council re Pope St, its proximity to the ceremonial ground and small circle and the shell midden etc. All Australian archaeologists should make Gundagai their concern as its a highly significant site. Its fine by me though if archaeologists have no interest in what is a major Australian archaeological site as I am not a member of the archaeology profession in Australia so its no skin off my nose.

The bakery closed a few weeks back, (because the following was soon to happen), but our new Woolies supermarket opens next Wednesday adjacent to the Services Club with the poker machines. We can go buy decent makings from next week and make our own breadm cakesm pies stuff so no need for a bakery. Mid next week the remaining businesses left in eastern Sheridan St will likely begin to fail big time and this ancient human habitation site will go to the next stage in its evolution. There is rock art here. I suspect some of it is behind the shops on the eastern end of Sheridan St where those old shops butt on to the southern side of the main street so maybe if all those shops close down then fall down - the rock art that may be there will resurface. Those shops used to once be one story and the main street slightly lower. Pre 1860 none of those shops were there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.139.221.30 (talk) 07:02, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Bakery to Reopen

News through the town yesterday that the baker before last is to reopen the bakery next Monday. There is I think a bit of a campaign happening to save the eastern end of the main street now Woolies are at the western end so I guess bringing back the baker that rushed away two or so years ago is about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.134.117.2 (talk) 06:45, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

By requiring a confirmation of who people are and a bit about them (usually as a separate email) this seems to thwart the,. I have had only one objector to the system (our friend ****** from ********.

e-faith though seems to have a reputable looking web site http://www.e-faith.org/. But I haven't heard of them before
