Rosenfeld (1997) recently reported her excavations and the stratigraphy and radiometric chronology at Buang Merabak, a site probably first occupied c.32,000 radiocarbon years ago. While that report contains brief summaries of the artefact classes, we have now carried out more detailed analyses of these artefacts and report them here. Despite the need for further radiometric dating, we conclude, contra Rosenfeld, that the Pleistocene layers of this site are largely intact and offer further important evidence of Pleistocene human behaviour in New Ireland. These data both complement and extend the data from similarly aged sites in the region
