Abstract This paper presents a preliminary occupation chronology for the Riverland region of South Australia, based on 31 radiocarbon age determinations. This region has represented a significant geographic gap in understanding occupation chronologies for the broader Murray-Darling Basin. The dating forms part of an ongoing research program exploring the long-term engagements of Aboriginal people with the habitat mosaics of the central River Murray corridor. Dating targets were selected on the basis of their landscape context. Results relate occupation evidence to an evolving riverine landscape through the period extending from approximately 29 ka to the late Holocene. These results include the first pre-Last Glacial Maximum ages returned on the River Murray in South Australia and extend the known Aboriginal occupation of the Riverland by approximately 22,000 years.

南澳大利亚州里弗兰德地区放射性碳测年计划的初步结果和观测结果

摘要本文根据31个放射性碳年龄的确定情况，介绍了南澳大利亚州里弗兰德地区的初步职业年表。该地区在理解更广泛的默里-达令盆地的职业年代方面存在着巨大的地理鸿沟。约会是正在进行的研究计划的一部分，该计划探索土著人与默里河中央走廊的栖息地马赛克的长期互动。约会对象是根据其风景背景选择的。结果表明，从大约29 ka到全新世晚期，占领证据与不断演变的河流景观有关。
