摘要: ABSTRACTStories belonging to Australian Aboriginal groups tell of a time when the former coastline mainland Australia was inundated by rising sea level. Stories are presented from 21 locations every part this coastline. In most instances it is plausible assume that these stories refer events occurred more than about 7000 years ago, approximate at which level reached its present around Australia. They therefore provide empirical corroboration postglacial sea-level rise. For each locations, minimum water depth (below level) needed for details particular group local-area be true calculated. This then compared with envelope (Lewis et al., Quaternary Science Reviews 74, 2013), and maximum ages recent could have been observed method dating shows they appear endured since 72...
