Abstract
This paper describes the results of a test excavation carried out at. Rushy Lagoon in northeast Tasmania as part of a wider systematic archaeological survey funded by the National Estate. The major aims of this excavation were to provide the survey with temporal information on Aboriginal occupation and exploitation in lowland northeast Tasmania. The Rushy Lagoon lunette was chosen for investigation because the discovery of a rich artefact deposit lying on a deflated area of the foredune indicated the possibility of in situ material the lunette system which is probably of late Pleistocene and early Holocene age (Bowden 1983). It was anticipated that excavation of such a site would provide comparative data for the much more intensively investigated area of the northwest (Jones 1971; Hanson 1980; Bowdler 1979; Stockton 1982).
