Abstract
This report, completed in preparation for the Department of Maritime Archaeology’s October 2006 return to the site, following the receipt of a grant resulting from the National Heritage listing of the north end of Dirk Hartog Island examines all known and suspected disturbances at the French ‘annexation site’ in that area up to and following the 1998 finding of a bottle, two capsules and two coins related to the annexation process. The report also examines the possibility that the annexation bottle remains.
