本文介绍了一项试验开挖的结果。塔斯马尼亚东北部的拉什泻湖，是由国家遗产基金资助的更广泛的系统考古调查的一部分。这次发掘的主要目的是为调查提供有关塔斯马尼亚东北部低地土著人占领和剥削的时间信息。之所以选择拉什泻湖新月形沉积物进行研究，是因为在前丘的一个凹陷区域发现了一个丰富的人工沉积物，表明可能存在晚更新世和全新世早期新月形沉积物系统的原位物质（Bowden 1983）。预期这样一个地点的挖掘将为西北地区更深入的调查提供比较数据（Jones 1971; Hanson 1980; Bowdler 1979; Stockton 1982）。
This paper describes the results of a test excavation carried out at. Rushy Lagoon in northeast Tasmania as part of a wider systematic archaeological survey funded by the National Estate. The major aims of this excavation were to provide the survey with temporal information on Aboriginal occupation and exploitation in lowland northeast Tasmania. The Rushy Lagoon lunette was chosen for investigation because the discovery of a rich artefact deposit lying on a deflated area of the foredune indicated the possibility of in situ material the lunette system which is probably of late Pleistocene and early Holocene age (Bowden 1983). It was anticipated that excavation of such a site would provide comparative data for the much more intensively investigated area of the northwest (Jones 1971; Hanson 1980; Bowdler 1979; Stockton 1982).
