Abstract
This site report presents an account of archaeological excavations undertaken at Eurimbula Site 1, a large open midden site complex located in Eurimbula National Park on the southern Curtis Coast, Central Queensland. Excavations yielded a cultural assemblage dominated by mud ark (Anadara trapezia) and commercial oyster (Saccostrea commercialis) and incorporating small quantities of stone artefacts, fish bone and charcoal. Densities of cultural material were found to decrease markedly with distance from the creek. Analyses of excavated material demonstrate extensive low intensity use of the site from at least c.3,200 cal BP to the historical period.
这份遗址报告介绍了在Eurimbula site 1进行的考古发掘,这是一个大型的开放式遗址综合体,位于昆士兰州中部柯蒂斯海岸南部的Eurimbula国家公园。发掘出了一个以泥方舟(Anadara trapezia)和商业牡蛎(Saccostrea commercialis)为主的文化组合,并结合了少量的石器、鱼骨和木炭。随着距离小溪的远近,养殖物质的密度显著降低。对挖掘材料的分析表明,从至少c.3,200 cal BP到历史时期,该遗址被广泛的低强度使用。
