In 2020 GJCRM undertook a desktop review of the existing cultural heritage information at Argyle Diamond mine and developed a cultural heritage management plan as part of the Argyle Mines closure and repatriation process. As a result, throughout 2020 and 2021 GJCRM conducted the rerecording of a number of sites across Argyle. This was to ensure the boundaries and geographical locations of the sites were accurate and to assess their current condition. The re-recording of archaeological sites was conducted with the assistance and full cooperation of Argyle traditional owners.
