Geography
Country: Australia

State: Victoria


Coordinate: 37° 17' S, 144° 43' E
Coordinate basis: stated in text

Time interval: Late Pleistocene

Max Ma: 0.0594

Min Ma: 0.0441

Age basis: OSL

Geography comments: "Lancefield Swamp is a spring-fed swamp adjacent to the small town of Lancefield, in southern-central Victoria, Australia".
"The swamp is located on a 10 km wide shallow basalt plain in the upper catchment of the Maribyrnong Basin at 500 m above sea level".
OSL dates on the bone beds from the Classic site of the 2004-2005 excavations range from 59.4 ± 5.1 to 44.1 ± 3.5 ka BP.

Environment
Lithology: siliciclastic (mixed)

Taphonomic context: lake deposit

Habitat comments: "The swamp features two depressions, one each at the western and eastern ends".
"The western depression is known as the Classic Site and the eastern depression as the Mayne Site".
The bone beds consist of mottled or speckled clay with >5% gravel. The sediment is unconsolidated and contains a dense, interlocking matrix of bones".
Taphonomic analysis indicates the faunal remains "represent an accumulation of multiple waterhole death events, impacted by some carnivore activity, with isolated areas of channel cutting and filling".

Methods
Life forms: other large mammals,other small mammals

Sampling methods: quarry,screenwash

Sample size: 101 specimens

Years: 2004, 2005

Sampling comments: "Systematic excavation involved extending the Classic and Mayne Site trenches".
"The excavation at the Classic Site was undertaken 50 cm into the original trench walls at locations along the trench to provide 50 × 100 cm sample areas across the swamp".
"All sediment was wet-sieved through 3 and 5 mm mesh screens".
