Review of Devil’s Lair artefact classification and radiocarbon chronology

The radiometric chronology of the Devil's Lair cave deposit in southwestern Australia, excavated during the 1970s by a Western Australian Museum team, is currently being assessed through luminescence and AMSÂ 14 C dating. Also underway is a long overdue inventory of this site's stone and bone artefact assemblages. Our purpose here is to revise some previously published archaeological classifications of Devil's Lair artefacts, and to confirm human occupation of the cave as early as ca. 3 1,000 yr BP, as implied by conventional radiocarbon dates obtained twenty years ago.
