Notes A well-known open site containing Aboriginal archaeological material over a megafauna bone bed. Unit 5 - 8 includes a wide variety of megafauna remains (including Diprotodon and Genyornis sp.) between c. 28,000BP - >30,000 BP. Artefacts occur from unit 6 in association with megafauna remains - the origins of these artefacts form the basis of human/climate megafauna extinction debate. The majority of the archaeological assemblage occurs in unit 5 and includes horsehoof cores, small single and multi platform cores and flakes, from silcrete, quartz, quartzite, chert, conglomerate, feldspar porphory, and sandstone. Unit 5 forms the upper of three bone beds present to depths of 4 m in at this site. This sample was an attempt at dating tooth enamel from several of the megafauna species within units 6A-12. Grun et al's data raised questions about the age of SU 6. This sample was identified as 2037.
