Description: In 1970, Harry Allen excavated a small section of creek terrace adjacent to Burkes Cave in the Scope range of western New South Wales, revealing a stratified deposit dated by a single radiocarbon determination to c.2000 BP. An analysis of the stone artefact assemblage was never fully published. In this paper we present a description of the technological characteristics and composition of the stone artefact assemblage from this important site and consider similarities and differences from other western New South Wales assemblages we have studied.
