| Zusammenfassung: | This paper reports on the characterisation, using thin section petrography and Instrumental Neutron Activation Analysis, of cherts recovered from Pleistocene sites (Bone Cave, Warreen, Pulawa Trounta and Nunamira) located in the interior of Southwest Tasmania. The results indicate use of one major chert source area and fit a simple distance fall-off model. These results are congruent with palaeo-ecological models previously developed for Southwestern Tasmania (Cosgrove 1995; Cosgrove, Allen and Marshall 1990). |
