| Notes | A study (Bird & Frankel, 1991) using radiometric dates of southwest Victoria as a proxy for occupation/activity. The paper concludes that late Holocene intensification, at least from a social perspective perspective, was not the case. However, the paper does show increasing numbers of dates (n=80) in the late Holocene. Interesting features of the study include an apparent hiatus between 6-7ka and the appearance of earth mounds only in the last 2.5ka. Earth mounds have several different interpretations, including house foundations and/or a byproduct of repeated visitation and cooking and/or through collapse of sod/turf structures. |
