Notes A deep limestone cave containing deep earthy deposits, which has been excavated since 1955. Deposits consist of various flowstones capping earthy and silty clay units; the flowstones have been used to indicate the start/end of deposits. Artefact assemblage included quartz, chert and limestone materials and animal bone and were present over most of the last 12,000 years. Site also includes numerous bone points, some of them in association with radiocarbon dates of 19,000 BP. Direct occupation is evident living floors associated with hearth 1 and Pits 1 (c. 220 cm below surface) and 2 (c.210 cm below surface). The lowest evidence of continued occupation was at layer 30, with only sparse artefactual remains between layers 31-38, and sterile deposits between layers 39 - 51. This sample formed part of a larger inter-disciplinary study to clarify the lower deposits of the shelter. The study indicated that the initial occupation was as early as 48ka, with main occupation of the shelter by c. 40ka.
