Abstract
A STRATIFIED and undisturbed occupation deposit containing stone and bone tools and a rich faunal assemblage has been discovered in a limestone cave at Buchan, in eastern Victoria (latitude 37° 31′ S, longitude 148° 10′ E). This is the first Pleistocene occupation site in which bone is preserved, yet found in eastern Australia.
