Scores of Aboriginal stone tools discovered in Gippsland during sewer dig

Flaked stone tools used by Aboriginal people up to 40,000 years ago have been uncovered during major roadworks in Gippsland.

Forty-nine of the artefacts were discovered during the early planning works for the removal of a section of the regional outfall sewer between Traralgon and Sale.

Cultural heritage experts from the Gunai Kurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) and an archaeologist were called in to salvage a further 33 stone tools.
