Thousands of Aboriginal artefacts found at Australian building site

Specialists hailed the discovery of the more than 20,000 objects which were found during the development of a multi-billion dollar transport project in a Sydney suburb and called for excavation work to be stopped while the find is assessed.

“It is an incredibly significant site, not only for Sydney but also nationally,” Scott Franks of Tocomwall, one of four Aboriginal heritage firms advising the project, told AFP.
