Abstract

This thesis examines spatial and temporal variation in the composition of midden deposits at Sandstone Point, a coastal mainland site in the Moreton Bay region. Density of faunal remains increased across the site towards the shoreline, and revealed an exponential increase in marine resource exploitation within the last 800 to 1,000 years. This pattern could not be simple explained as a function of environmental change. Intensity of faunal discard the foredune deposit suggested use of the site as a location for gatherings of Aboriginal groups. Evidence for intensified economic production was interpreted in terms of the dynamics of social and cultural variables.
