Cuddie Springs (original) (raw)
Cuddie Springs is a notable archaeological and paleontological site in the semi-arid zone of central northern New South Wales, Australia, near Carinda in Walgett Shire. Cuddie Springs is an open site, with the fossil deposits preserved in a claypan on the floor of an ancient ephemeral lake. The claypan fills with water after local rainstorms and often takes months to dry, a fact which facilitated the survival of fossils over a long period of time.

| dbo:abstract | Cuddie Springs is a notable archaeological and paleontological site in the semi-arid zone of central northern New South Wales, Australia, near Carinda in Walgett Shire. Cuddie Springs is an open site, with the fossil deposits preserved in a claypan on the floor of an ancient ephemeral lake. The claypan fills with water after local rainstorms and often takes months to dry, a fact which facilitated the survival of fossils over a long period of time. The site provided the first unequivocal association of stone artefacts with fossil remains of Australian megafauna. Cuddie Springs has been known as a fossil megafauna locality since the late 1870s, when a well was sunk into the centre of the claypan. The Australian Museum launched excavations in 1933 and while many bones were found, no archaeological discoveries were made in that initial research. More extensive excavations were conducted between 1991 and 1996 by a team from the University of New South Wales and were continued between 1997 and 2009 through the University of Sydney. (en) Cuddie Springs es un sitio arqueológico y paleontológico notable en la zona semiárida del norte central de Nueva Gales del Sur, Australia. Es un sitio abierto, con los depósitos de fósiles preservados en una capa de arcilla en el suelo de un antiguo lago efímero. Esta capa se llena de agua después de las tormentas locales y, a menudo, tarda meses en secarse, un hecho que facilitó la supervivencia de los fósiles durante un largo período de tiempo. El sitio proporcionó la primera asociación inequívoca de artefactos de piedra con restos fósiles de megafauna australiana. Cuddie Springs ha sido conocida como una localidad de megafauna fósil desde finales de la década de 1870, cuando se hundió un pozo en el centro de la arcilla. El Museo Australiano inició excavaciones en 1933 y, aunque se encontraron muchos huesos, no se hicieron descubrimientos arqueológicos en esa investigación inicial. Un equipo de la Universidad de Nueva Gales del Sur llevó a cabo excavaciones más extensas entre 1991 y 1996 y continuaron entre 1997 y 2009 a través de la Universidad de Sídney. (es) |
