Abstract

STONE and bone artifacts are described from excavations in a small cave in the far south-west of Western Australia. The bottom of the deposit has not been reached, but radiocarbon dates show that the deposit so far excavated includes a time span from about 12,000 to about 25,000 years ago. Two pits and a hearth show that the cave was occupied at times by human beings. Artifacts are present at most levels. Some of these artifacts may have been washed into the cave, but others may have been left there by the occupants.
