Abstract
The Devon Downs rock shelter, on the lower Murray in South Australia, was the first archaeological site to be systematically excavated in Australia (Hale and Tindale 1930). The deposit spans the last 5000 years of Australian prehistory. Between November 1976 and July 1977 I re-examined the excavated material from this shelter and this work is described in detail in my BA thesis (Smith 1977). The greater part of my time was spent studying the faunal assemblage and the results of this part of my work are summarised below.
