| Artefact Type | Category 8: Communication Artefacts | Art | An artefact originally created for the expression and communication of ideas, values or attitudes through images, symbols and abstractions. It often reflects aesthetic pleasure or demonstrates creative skills and dexterity. Art can be uniquely created, or it can be produced in a medium that allows many duplicates to be made. | 182 |
| Artefact Type | Category 8: Communication Artefacts | Category 8: Communication Artefacts | Artefacts originally created as expressions of human thought. Communication artefacts comment on, interpret or enhance people's environments. Communication artefacts can function symbolically or literally. This category excludes the tools and equipment that are used to create communications artefacts. | 13 |
| Artefact Type | Category 8: Communication Artefacts | Ceremonial Artefact | Artefacts originally created for carrying on governmental, fraternal, religious or other organised and sanctioned societal activities. These artefacts are intended to evoke symbolise or express certain aspects of the traditions or heritage of a community or a group of people. Usually, they are associated with rituals or ceremonies. This classifications includes: (1) any religious artefact, such as communion cups and altar pieces (note, though, that personal devotional objects, such as religious medals and talismans are classified under "Personal Symbol"); (2) any object used in a ceremony concerned with major personal events or crises, such as birth, puberty, sickness or death, or concerned with community events or crises, such as harvest festivals or the need for rain; and (3) any object used in the ceremonial activities of a fraternity , lodge, club, governmental or military organisation, such as the pennant of a Girl Scout troop. | 1 |
| Artefact Type | Category 8: Communication Artefacts | Documentary Artefact | An artefact originally created to communicate information to people. Unlike "Advertising Media," "Documentary Artefacts" are not generally intended to elicit a specific response in regards to products, services or events. Instead, they present a point of view, an image or a set of ideas, often with the aim of enlightening or swaying the attitude of people. This classification includes documents and also artefacts displaying commemorative information on material other than paper, such as commemorative coins and souvenir plates. | 91 |
| Artefact Type | Category 8: Communication Artefacts | Exchange Medium | An artefact originally created to be used as a medium of exchange, such as coins, currency or shell money, or as a means of obtaining specific services, such as a postage stamp or a transportation token. | |
| Artefact Type | Category 8: Communication Artefacts | Personal Symbol | An artefact originally created to communicate a particular personal belief, achievement, status or membership. This classification includes articles of adornment or clothing worn primarily for their symbolism, such as a fraternal ring, an academic gown or a crown. "Personal Symbols" differ from "Ceremonial Artefacts" in that they express individual ideas, not the ideas of a group. | 1 |

| Expeditioner | Wild, Frank | Western Base. Leader and sledgemaster. Born in in Skelton, North Yorkshire, in 1873, Frank Wild first went to the Antarctic with Robert Scott in 1901 - the beginning of a 20-year Antarctic career that also included working under Shackleton and Mawson, often in the toughest of circumstances. Wild turned out to be the epitome of a polar explorer - practical, hard-working, loyal, reserved, unflappable - with an incomparable record of Antarctic experience on land and sea. Frank Wild joined the British merchant service in 1889, travelling to South Africa, Asia and Australia, until joining the Royal Navy in 1900, in which he served aboard HMS Edinburgh and H.M.S. Vernon. The following year he joined Scott's National Antarctic Expedition of 1901-1904, serving on an extended sledge journey that reached an altitude of 2700 metres. His experience won him selection by Ernest Shackleton to join the southern sledging party in the British Antarctic Expedition of 1907-1909, during which he ventured closer to the South Pole than anyone before. Mawson got to know Wild during Shackleton¿s expedition, and saw him as one of the two essential members of the AAE (along with ship¿s master John Davis). He put Wild in charge of the `Western Party', which was to explore lands four hundred miles and more to the west of Cape Denison. Wild finally set up a base at the western end of the great Shackleton Ice Shelf, in the region first visited by the 1901 German Gauss expedition. The base was built on floating ice 27 kilometres from land. This was Wild¿s first big opportunity to show his leadership ability, and he did not disappoint. Through a long winter and succeeding summer he and his six companions completed an arduous program of sledging to the east, west and south of their home on the floating ice shelf, mapping hundreds of miles of Queen Mary Land¿s coast and hinterland. They completed the work without fuss or rancour; Wild said at the end he would be happy to serve with the same team again. He returned to England in time to join Shackleton again, this time on the epic `voyage¿ of the doomed Endurance, trapped and finally crushed by the ice of the Weddell Sea. Having lost their ship, the men endured nearly five months on sea ice and stormy seas. Near the end of their icy journey, when it became clear his beloved sledge dogs would have to be disposed of, Wild himself took on the task of shooting them. On finally reaching desolate Elephant Island in the South Shetlands, Shackleton decided to take five others to attempt a whaleboat journey to seek help from whalers at South Georgia. It was Wild whom he put in charge of the remaining 22 men in his expedition party. The castaways endured 138 days through winter and early spring On returning to war-torn Europe, Wild took up a naval position that took him to Spitsbergen and Russia. During this assignment he met Vera Altman, the widow of a British official in Vladivostok, whom he was later to marry. For a few years he tried tobacco farming in southern Africa, without much success. It was easy for him to agree to Shackleton¿s offer to venture once more into the Antarctic, on Shackleton's final voyage aboard Quest in the summer of 1921-1922. When 'the Boss' took ill and died, Wild took over command of the expedition, but in the absence of a clear brief from his former leader he lost the will to continue. In 1923, he returned to South Africa with Vera, trying cotton farming and railway construction. But failing finances and marriage (ending in divorce in 1928) took their toll on his health. He was to marry again, but his financial difficulties continued. He supplemented a meagre income from bar-tending (interspersed with drinking bouts) and mining by giving lectures on his Antarctic adventures. |

| Materials | Bone | Includes teeth, antler and horn as well as bones. | 7 | |
| Materials | Bone - burnt | The colour and patterning of the bone is dependant on whether the bone was wet or dry at the time of incineration and the temperature to which it was exposed. | 1 | |
| Materials | Bone - butchered | Evidence of butchery can be observed on bones as clean cuts through the bone or incised marks. Sometimes it is possible to identify the type of implement that was used, such as a saw. | ||
| Materials | Bone - other | Includes all bone, including teeth, which lacks discernible physical evidence of working or butchery.. | ||
| Materials | Bone - worked | This category includes worked bone, ivory, horn and antler. Worked bone is frequently found in the form of handles (e.g. for cutlery), buttons and other ornaments. Worked bone can be distinguished from synthetic material by examination with a magnifying glass. It has a distinctive circular "grain." | 2 | |

| Materials | Ceramics - Earthenware - Architectural/Industrial | |||
| Materials | Ceramics - Earthenware - Other | |||
| Materials | Ceramics - Earthenware -Domestic | Ceramics - Earthenware refers to all forms of non-vitreous opaque whiteware. The clay particles do not vitrify in earthenwares, and so the resulting wares are porous and often thick-sectioned, and coarse and grainy at a break (although fine, thin-sectioned earthenwares are also found). Domestic earthenware is invariably glazed due to the porous nature of the pieces. A good way of detecting earthenware is to touch the broken edge of a piece with the tongue - earthenware will have a grainy, sandpaper-like feel to it. | ||
| Materials | Ceramics - Other | Ceramics -Other (specify) is used to describe a known ceramics type other than earthenware, stoneware or terracotta. | 1 | |
| Materials | Ceramics - Porcelain - Architectural/Industrial | |||
| Materials | Ceramics - Porcelain - Domestic | Ceramics - Porcelain refers to all forms of porcelain (soft and hard paste) and bone china, i.e. types of vitreous whiteware. The body particles are completely vitrified during firing - any break in porcelain is, therefore, smooth and glass-like. Porcelain pieces are non-porous and often to some extent translucent, depending on the fineness of the of the piece. Porcelain pieces are usually glazed (clear) although ornamental pieces are occasionally unglazed. Domestic ware pieces are relatively fine and thin. | ||
| Materials | Ceramics - Porcelain - Other | |||
| Materials | Ceramics - Stoneware - Architectural/Industrial | |||
| Materials | Ceramics - Stoneware - Domestic | Ceramics - Stoneware refers to wares made of a vitreous opaque body, usually light brown or beige in colour. The clay particles in stoneware are completely vitrified during firing, thus producing a hard, non-porous ware, which is completely smooth at a break. Because it is non-porous, stoneware was frequently used for drinking vessels, containers for liquids, and for industrial pieces. Domestic stoneware is found glazed and unglazed (sometimes salt glazed, which gives a shiny, "orange peel" effect) and frequently features relief decoration (or is left undecorated).. | 1 | |
| Materials | Ceramics - Stoneware - Other | 1 | ||
| Materials | Ceramics - Terracotta | Ceramics - Terracotta usually have a rough unglazed clay body, which is often red or yellow in colour. Terracotta is extremely porous and usually found in the form of building materials and garden pieces. | ||

| Materials | Glass - Other - Clear | Glass - Other refers to all non-window glass. The most common type within the category is bottle glass. If bottles are incomplete bases and lips can be of diagnostic value. Further, many bottles are impressed with manufacturing information, which can also provide information about the date of manufacture. The technology of bottle making is fairly closely dated for the early 20th century. Glass colours Allowable colour names are: CLEAR - ranges from completely colourless to bluish or greenish colour. BLUE - ranges from an extremely deep dark blue to light blue. GREEN - ranges from an extremely dark olive green (occasionally described as "black glass") to light sea green or grass green.

| Significance | PRIMARY | Aesthetic | An object may be aesthetically significant for its craftsmanship, style, technical excellence, beauty, demonstration of skill and quality of design and execution. It might include innovative or traditional objects from indigenous or folk cultures or high art. Aesthetically significant objects may be unique or mass produced. | 2 |
| Significance | PRIMARY | Historic | An object or collection may be historically significant for its association with people, events, places and themes. This is the most common category of significance in historical collections. Historically significant objects range from those associated with famous people and important events, to objects of daily life used by ordinary people. They include objects that are typical of particular activities, industries or ways of living. Historically significant items may be mass produced, unique, precious or handmade. | 1330 |
| Significance | PRIMARY | Scientific or Research | An object or collection may have research significance if it has major potential for further scientific examination or study. An object may be of scientific value if it demonstrates the documented distribution, range, variation or habitat of a taxon or taxonomic category, such as species or genus. Archaeological artefacts and collections may have research significance if they are provenanced, and were recovered from a documented context, and if they represent aspects of history that are not well reflected in other sources. This criterion tends to apply chiefly to biological, geological and archaeological material, but may also apply to documentary collections. All biological collections of wild plants or animals, providing they have some data about their provenance, are of some real or potential scientific value, since they contribute to an overall picture of the species, an ecological community, or area biota of a particular locality. Note that objects significant to the history of science or technology should be assessed under the criterion of historical significance, not scientific significance. | 20 |
| Significance | PRIMARY | Social | Objects have social significance if they are held in community esteem. This may be demonstrated by social, spiritual, or cultural expressions that provide evidence of a community's strong affection for an object or collection, and of how it contributes to that community's identity and social cohesion. This evidence can usually be found by consulting people and communities, but it sometimes becomes apparent only when the object is threatened in some way. For example, the social significance of an object is often demonstrated through public debate about its location, conservation or interpretation. Objects may acquire social value with the passage of time and through particular events or activities that demonstrate present-day community esteem. Social significance is only for living, contemporary value; if the value has ceased to exist, it becomes historical significance. | 1 |
| Significance | SECONDARY | Condition, Intactness and Integrity | An object may be significant because it is unusually complete, or in sound, original condition. Objects with these characteristics are said to have integrity. Changes and adaptations made in the working life of an object do not necessarily diminish significance, and , in fact, are also recognised as an integral part of the object and its history. | 1 |
| Significance | SECONDARY | Interpretive Potential | Objects and collections may be significant for their capacity to interpret and demonstrate aspects of experience, historical themes, people and activities. In the hands of a skilled museum worker, most objects have potential to tell their story, and their significance is best described by reference to one or more of the primary criteria. However, there are some circumstances where interpretive potential is a major attribute of an object or collection, or may indeed be the only criterion for which the object is significant. To some extent, interpretive potential represents the value or utility the object has for a museum, as a focus for interpretive and educational programs. It may also be significant for its links to particular collection themes, histories or ways of seeing the collection. Some objects may have very limited significance under the primary criteria, but they still may have some degree of significance for museums for their ability to interpret and illustrate particular themes, people or ideas. This is the case for many humble, unprovenanced social history objects, where the object stands for, or is used as a link to, wider themes or issues. Interpretive potential can be particularly important where certain aspects of history and experience are not well represented in museum collections. Some people's lives are not materially rich or well expressed in the material culture record. In museums their lives or experience may be interpreted though generic objects that have interpretive potential but are otherwise of limited significance. | 190 |
| Significance | SECONDARY | Provenance | Provenance means the chain of ownership and context of use of an object. Knowing this history enables a more precise assessment. Provenance is central to establishing historic and scientific significance. An object may be significant because its provenance - a documented history of its existence, ownership and use - gives it a context in society at large or in the natural world, or in the more personal world of a known individual. Provenance has very particular meaning in some collection areas. Archaeological material should desirably be provenanced to a particular site, and to an exact stratum and location within that site. Archaeological material removed from a site without having had its provenance recorded has little value, unless it has other significance, such as aesthetic. Even then, an object whose archaeological provenance is unknown is diminished in value in the same way as an artwork of doubtful provenance. | 2 |
| Significance | SECONDARY | Rarity | An object may be significant as a rare, unusual or particularly fine example of its type. It is possible for an object's significance to be rated as both rare and representative. | 5 |
| Significance | SECONDARY | Representativeness | An object may be significant because it represents a particular category of object, or activity, way of life or historical theme. | 2 |

In 1962, the carpentry equipment was moved out and the structure was used to store coke, though towards the end of the year it once again was used as the Carpenter's Workshop. An extension was added to the rear of the building in 1974. In 1981 it was converted into a Drying Room and served this purpose until 1992 when the "Old Donga Line' was finally abandoned. It was dismantled and RTA'd in 2007. | 2 | |
