释义 |
The Green gully archaeological site is an Aboriginal archaeological site in Keilor, Victoria, Australia. The site was discovered during soil quarrying in the 1960s, when artefacts and a burial were uncovered in the alluvial terraces in the Maryibyrnong Valley.[1] The site is located near the confluence of Taylors Creek and the Maribyrnong River at {{Coord|-37.729558|144.828286|format=dms|type:landmark_region:AU|display=inline,title}}. The Keilor Terraces were identified as a sequence of Pleistocene alluvial terraces,[2] which in several locations have revealed very old Aboriginal remains, for example the Keilor archaeological site.[3] The site has also been important in development of an understanding of climate change and different river conditions in the Melbourne area over a period of more than 30,000 years.[4] The Catalogue of Fossil Hominids Database notes that the site is dated to about 6500 years old.[5] References1. ^Macintosh, N.
