Keilor archaeological site : ウィキペディア英語版 | Keilor archaeological site
The Keilor archaeological site was among the first places to demonstrate the antiquity of Aboriginal occupation of Australia when a cranium, unearthed in 1940, was found to be nearly 15,000 years old. Subsequent investigations of Pleistocene alluvial terraces revealed hearths about 31,000 years BP, making Keilor one of the earliest sites of human habitation in Australia. Remains of megafauna suggest a possible association with Aboriginal hunting.〔http://www.library.uq.edu.au/ojs/index.php/aa/article/view/735 Duncan, Jacqui, Megafauna at Keilor and the timing of their extinction, ''Australian Archaeology'' No 53 (2001)December〕 ==Location==
The site is located at the confluence of Dry Creek and the Maribyrnong River, 1.5 km north of Keilor, Victoria at . The site was found when artefacts were exposed in sand quarries, and as a result of increased bank erosion of the river terraces due to runoff from the then recently opened Tullamarine Airport.
