Notes A larger sandstone rockshleter in the Royal National Park, south of Sydney. The shelter retained a tripartite sequence (Elouera-Bondaian-Capertian) and was one of the key sites in the 1960's and 1970's regarding the discussion/timing of these different typological assemblages. The site retained three main sedimentary units: 1) the upper layer was a consisted of a lightly packed midden with marine, fish and some non-human bones; this layer did not extend far beyond the dripline; 2) a layer of dark brown unctuous soil with no bone or shell; this unit extends beyond the dripline, but is deepest (1'3") and highest artefact densities are in the rockshelter; and 3) clayey decomposed sandstone matrix (1'6" in depth) derived from weathering bedrock. Date from hearth within Bondaian layer. Megaw refers to midden/Bondaian period.
