In 2022, GJCRM was involved in the archaeological watching brief of trench excavations at the Old Geraldton Gaol for the National Trust. The Gaol is part of the larger Geraldton Heritage Precinct and is important in relation to the State regional development and as a historic and social landmark. The works were requested in response to proposed construction of a drainage soak and pipe works within the registered curtilage of the Gaol.
Archaeological material including ceramics, bottle glass, metal, animal bone and plaster were retrieved from the trenches. All material was photographed and recorded in situ and the stratigraphy of the work areas were also documented.
The work was also conducted with the highest health and safety standards.
