Abstract

This paper provides the initial chronological framework for an Australian Aboriginal women's sacred area, based on the first absolute ages obtained through luminescence dating. The Thirteen Mile Creek site of the Avon Downs women's sacred area provides evidence for various aspects of women's lives, including lithic raw material extraction and lithic artefact production from ∼7000 years to recent times. It is the first dated Aboriginal women's sacred area in Australia. The successful use of single grain luminescence on a colluvial mantle suggests the potential to extend cultural histories in tropical hillslopes to the middle Holocene. Our preliminary study of the site raises awareness of the challenges of protecting women's sacred sites from mining and development and highlights the importance of preserving Aboriginal sacred sites for future generations.

澳大利亚神圣妇女事业的考古学:昆士兰中部高地的全新世历史
本文根据通过发光测年首次获得的绝对年龄,为澳大利亚原住民妇女圣地提供了初步的年代学框架。雅芳唐斯妇女圣地的十三英里溪遗址提供了妇女生活各个方面的证据,包括从 7000 年到近代的石器原料提取和石器制品制作。这是澳大利亚第一个有年代记载的原住民妇女圣地。在冲积地幔上成功使用单粒发光法表明,有可能将热带山坡的文化历史延伸到全新世中期。我们对该遗址的初步研究提高了人们对保护妇女圣地免受采矿和开发挑战的认识,并强调了为子孙后代保护原住民圣地的重要性。
