Notes | A follow up to Gillespie et al.'s (1978) work at Lancefield swamp. This date was taken from a piece of Diprotodontid teeth recovered from the bone bed in the Maynard Site. The large error of this sample may relate to the water-logged nature of the site. It formed part of a range of techniques to determine the age of the bone bed. Ultimately, van Huet et al. concluded that the bone bed dated between 30-60ka based on the techniques and demonstrated cross over between humans and megafauna. |
