摘要本文探讨了金伯利东部Keep河地区的占领记录，以及考古记录是否在地区内和地区间得到了同样的保存。发光测年，放射性碳测年和考古证据，从8个岩石庇护所序列只提供晚全新世（5 - 0千BP）占领序列，而发光测年和考古证据的三个砂片序列表明占领日期为18千BP。鉴于岩石庇护所和砂席挖掘可以产生这样不同的年表，有人质疑，在多大程度上的代表性记录的东部金伯利，和邻近的西部金伯利，维多利亚河区和阿纳姆地地区可以比较。也有人认为，在没有比较非占领年代地层学，特别是岩石庇护所，它仍然不清楚是否明显的全新世强化是一个产品的文化变化或研究和保护。
Abstract This paper considers the record of occupation in the Keep River region of the eastern Kimberley, and whether archaeological records are equally preserved within as well as between regions. Luminescence dating, radiocarbon dating and archaeological evidence from eight rock shelter sequences provide only late Holocene (5 – 0 ky BP) occupation sequences, whereas luminescence dating and archaeological evidence for three sand-sheet sequences indicate occupation dating to 18 ky BP. Given that rock shelters and sand sheet excavations can produce such different chronologies, it is questioned to what extent the representative records for the eastern Kimberley, and the adjacent western Kimberley, Victoria River District and Arnhem Land regions can be compared. It is also argued that in the absence of comparative non-occupation chronostratigraphy, particularly of rock shelters, it remains unclear whether apparent Holocene intensification is a product of cultural change or of research and preservation.
