| Popis: |
A lead weight was recovered between 2.2 and 2.4 m depth in stranded beach sands at the souther end of Fraser Island. Its isotope values indicate a close affinity with lead from mines in France. Pumice found with the lead occurs elsewhere at sites dated 480+/-100 y BP and 520+/-75 y BP, and one fragment appears to be Loisels Pumice, for which a similar radiocarbon age has been reported from New Zealand. The data are difficult to assess but suggest that the lead weight could have reached this ancient beach between 1410 and 1630 AD. |
