Abstract
This site report presents a description of archaeological investigations undertaken at Roof Fall Cave, an occupied rockshelter and art site located at Cania Gorge, eastern Central Queensland. Excavation yielded quantities of stone artefacts, bone and charcoal, along with some freshwater mussel shell and ochre with an occupational sequence spanning from up to 18,576 cal BP to the historical period. Roof Fall Cave is currently the oldest dated site in Cania Gorge and possibly in the Central Queensland region.
这份现场报告描述了在位于昆士兰州中部东部Cania峡谷的一个被占领的岩石避难所和艺术遗址Roof Fall Cave进行的考古调查。挖掘出土了大量的石器、骨头和木炭,以及一些淡水贻贝壳和赭石,其职业序列从18576 cal BP到历史时期。屋顶瀑布洞目前是卡尼亚峡谷最古老的遗址,可能也是昆士兰州中部地区最古老的遗址。
