Abstract
A sequence of radiocarbon dates on shell, from Mazie Bay, North Keppel Island was reported in Australian Archaeology in 1981 (Rowland 1981). This sequence indicated that a Holocene beach ridge at Mazie Bay had been occupied on an irregular basis from ca. 4000 BP through to the present, though a discontinuity in both occupation and ridge formation was suspected at ca. 3500 BP. Further dates were reported in 1982 (Rowland 1982), this time from South Keppel Island. On this island seven sites were dated with none producing a date older than ca. 700 BP. In 1983 errors in three of the dates from the ANU Radiocarbon Laboratory were reported together with corrections (Rowland 1983). Recently I have obtained four new dates, again on shell, from Mazie Bay, and these are discussed below. Â
