ABORIGINES OF THE SouTH-East OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA +67 
Buack Roox Srres, (BR. 1 and BR, 2). These sites are situated about ons 
anda half miles to the south-east along the coast from Blackfellows Caves (Sections 
292 and 390), and might aisa be considered another series of more or less connected 
eamp areas. They, too, are situated on the hard, dark level base lying between 
the shore dues aud the big spectacular sandhills which along this region lie a 
hundred yards or so inland, On these also the implements collected were mainly 
of microlithic forms, with a scarcity of larger implements. In places these flat 
areas were covered with a thin layer of drift sand which made collecting more 
difficult. Site BR. 2 was particularly interesting for the profusion of microliths 
on two or three quite small areas; and another striking feature of this latter site 
was that its south-eastern ond merged on to rismg ground, built up in parts to 
sandhills, the firmer slopes of which were strewn with tremendons quantities of 
Turbo shells, Scattered burnt hearth stones were also much in evidenee, 
Maccorry Pont Sire (MP.). Sitaated (Section 388) about two miles or so 
further to the south-east of the Black Rock sites, This expansive area which 
covered proably four or five acres was quite similar in general characteristics to 
those of the Black Rock region. But. to the immediate inland of this area, more 
or less permanent swamps ocenr. Microliths were moderately plentiful, aud here 
larger implements and flake debris were more plentiful than on the ofher similar 
coast sites. Scattered hearth stones and some molluse shells were observed, 
Long Guity Rapes (LGR,1), This site consists of an area about quarter 
ofa mile in length on the inland slope of Long Gully Ridge (in Section 477). Here 
this ridge is rather law, probably not more than thirty to forty feet.above the leyel 
ground on the inland side, The camp area remnants are rather small sand-blown 
patches on the upper and lower levels of the ridge and give the appearance of an 
old site which had. not been oecupied for a considerable time. The lower levels 
have been covered with silt deposits Here and there are scattered hearth remains. 
Considering the size of the areas with exposed implement material, quite a large 
collection of pieces was made. Most of these are larger pieces of the seraper type— 
much more frequent than on the coastal sites. A few microlithic specimens were 
also gathered, but these, on the contrary, wére not nearly so conspicuous as on 
the coast. sites. 
Warawse Ripan Sim. (WR, 1). A small area on the higher slopes of the 
inland side of this Radge (in Section 489), This area was not very productive, 
providing only a few pieces of seraper types of medium size, 
Konsorone Rance Serres. (KR. 1, KR. 2, KR. 3, KR. 4, SR.5). Numbers 
1 and 2 (Section 479). These are much eroded, wind-blown areas gituated on the 
western or ocean side of the Range—not a typical situation for camp sites. Erosion 
has exposed many hlocks or ‘‘ pillars’! of limestone, and among these were found 
scattered implement material, mostly of the scraper variety from medium to 
large sizes. Many are of the casual or poorly trimmed type of seraper, though 
oecasionally examples of symmetrical, well-trimmed tools were found, Only a 
faw of the micro types were collected. Scattered hearth remnants also oecur. 
Kr, 3. (Section 479). This, in general features, is similar to the aboye sites, 
but occupies a fairly shelfered depression on the crest of the Range a little further 
to the south-east. It presented a few scattered hearth remnants and medium-sized 
serapers. 
oe 4, (Section £79). This consists of a series of rather small wind-blown and 
rain-washed areas on the inland slopes of the Range to the east of sites ER, 1 and 2. 
On these some good examples of medium to large size scrapers were collected, and 
another interesting find is a fragment of one of the typical Lower South-Bastern 
basalt stone axeheads—portion of the eround.and polished end of the tool. Rem- 
nants of seattered hearths also persisted.
