This paper reports on archaeological analysis carried out on assemblages recovered from two stratified cave sites on Campbell Island in the Montebello group in northwest Australia. These sites provide unique insights into human responses to the drowning of the extensive arid plains of north-west Australia following the Last Glacial Maximum. Rich faunal assemblages have been recovered which date to the period 30,000 - 7000 BP as the local environmental context changed in response to the post-glacial marine transgression.

The Terra Australis series, focusing on work achieved by the Centre for Archaeological Research and the Department of Archaeology and Natural History, RSPAS, reports the results of archaeological and related research within South-East Asia, with a particular focus on Australia, Papua New Guinea, and island Melanesia.
