Abstract
This paper reports the results of excavations conducted at the Mort Creek Site Complex, located in the Rodds Peninsula Section of Eurimbula National Park on the southern Curtis Coast, Central Queensland. Cultural and natural marine shell deposits were excavated and analysed as part of an investigation of natural and cultural site formation processes in the area. Analyses (including foraminifera studies) demonstrate a complex site formation history, with interfingering of cultural and natural shell deposits (cheniers) in some areas of the site. Radiocarbon dating indicates that Aboriginal occupation of the site was initiated before 2,000 cal BP, overlapping with dates obtained for natural chenier deposits.
本文报道了在位于昆士兰州中部柯蒂斯海岸南部的欧林布拉国家公园罗德半岛部分的莫特克里克遗址群进行的挖掘结果。文化和自然海洋贝壳沉积物被挖掘和分析，作为该地区自然和文化遗址形成过程调查的一部分。分析(包括有孔虫研究)显示了一个复杂的遗址形成历史，在遗址的一些地区，文化和自然贝壳沉积物(cheniers)相互干扰。放射性碳定年法表明，土著居民在2000 cal BP之前就开始占领该遗址，这与天然烟囱沉积物的日期重叠。
