Abstract
Thermoluminescence ages have been obtained for 100 micron quartz grains from samples taken at a site at Point Ritchie, Warrnambool, where shells and an apparent hearth suggest human occupation. Dates of 132 and 160 ka have been obtained from two samples suspected of being oven stones and a date of about 80 ka years for the calcarenite matrix of the site. -- AATA
