Allen's Cave

Allen's Cave yielded stone tools and an enormous quantity of animal bone, but little of this relates to Indigenous occupation of the site, having been accumulated through owl pellet deposition and mammalian predator activity. Occupation at this site commences at 39,500 years ago and continued until the recent past. Lubljon Marun undertook the first excavation at this site as part of his doctoral research (ANU, Canberra) in the early 1960s and was followed by Rhys Jones and Scott Cane in 1988/89. Allen's Cave is the oldest and best dated cave site in South Australia and is amongst the oldest occupation site in Australia.

艾伦洞穴出土了石器工具与大量动物骨骼，但其中与该遗址原住民居住相关的遗存极少——这些遗存主要通过猫头鹰食团沉积及哺乳动物捕食者活动积累而成。该遗址的居住历史始于39500年前，一直延续至近代。20世纪60年代初，卢布尔扬·马伦（Lubljon Marun）作为其博士研究（ANU，堪培拉）的一部分，首次对该遗址展开发掘；1988-1989年，里斯·琼斯（Rhys Jones）与斯科特·凯恩（Scott Cane）接续进行了发掘工作。艾伦洞穴是南澳大利亚州年代最久远且测定最准确的洞穴遗址，同时也是澳大利亚最古老的居住遗址之一。
