- During 1992 and 1993 excavations were carried out at ten sites as part of Ph.D. research into the nature of Aboriginal occupation in the ranges behind the New South Wales south coast. Prior to this only two sites. Sassafras 1and 2, had been excavated. These rockshelters produced initial occupation dates of 3770±150BP (ANU-743) and 2780±115 BP (ANU-744) respectively indicating that occupation of the coastal ranges was relatively recent (Flood 1980:279-80). Preliminary results from one of the newly excavated sites now indicate that Aboriginal inhabitation of the coastal ranges extended into the Pleistocene.
