Notes | A reference to a date of a midden as part of a wider review of shellfish exploitation in Tasmania. The paper indicates the site was dominated by Xenopulex securis, Mylitus edulis and Ostrea anagasi. The papers findings suggest an exploitation of the sub-littoral zones during the late Holocene with a focus on upper and middle littoral zones earlier in the Holocene. |
