在约克角半岛东南部最近出土的Nurrabullgin洞穴中，有证据表明，人类在37,000年前就已经占领了这个洞穴。该遗址分层良好，包含石器、骨头和大量木炭，代表了一系列中断所分隔的不同职业阶段。在全新世中期和晚全新世水平也发现了赭石碎片；它们在早期沉积物中的缺失可能表明，墙上的许多画作可以追溯到相对较近的时代。人类最早占领的确切年代尚不清楚。
Evidence is presented for occupation pre-dating 37,000 BP at Nurrabullgin Cave, a recently excavated site from southeast Cape York Peninsula. The site is well stratified and contains stone artefacts, bone and large quantities of charcoal, representing a number of distinct occupational phases separated by a series of hiatuses. Ochre fragments were also recovered from mid- and late-Holocene levels; their absence from earlier deposits may indicate that the numerous paintings located on the walls date to relatively recent times. The precise antiquity of the earliest occupation remains unknown.
