Abstract
Archaeological excavation of the Echidna's rest site was undertaken in 1985 as part of an M.A. thesis research project at the Australian National University (David 1987). The project concerned patterns of cultural change and stability during the Holocene in the Chillagoe region of Northern Queensland and included an investigation of past foraging behaviour. When this research began very little was known of the prehistory of the region (see Campbell 1982, David 1984). Echidna's Rest was therefore excavated primarily to obtain information about the human antiquity and paleoenvironment of the region.
1985年,作为澳大利亚国立大学硕士论文研究项目的一部分,对针鼹休息地点进行了考古发掘(David 1987)。Â该项目关注昆士兰州北部Chillagoe地区全新世文化变化和稳定的模式,包括对过去觅食行为的调查。Â当这项研究开始时,对该地区的史前史知之甚少(见Campbell 1982, David 1984)。Â因此,挖掘针鼹的安息地主要是为了获得有关该地区人类古代和古环境的信息。
