Abstract

THE Late Pleistocene human cremation found at Lake Mungo in western New South Wales is among the most significant recent discoveries in Australian prehistory1. The fragmented skeleton of this young, adult female2 was recovered from a buried soil on the Lake Mungo shoreline dune (lunette) known as “The Walls of China” (see accompanying paper, site 1). This paper records new radiocarbon data providing a precise age for these remains.
