This paper discusses evidence from midden sites on the Cape Range peninsula, Western Australia. Holocene dates from these sites and from three stratified rockshelters in the foothills of Cape Range clearly demonstrate an ongoing and continued use of the coast and its resources from the terminal Pleistocene to the Late Holocene. Previous work in the area has established the use of coastal resources from at least 32,000 yqrs ago (Morse 1993). Significantly the midden dates show that where older coastal landforms survive there is evidence of human exploitation of their one time associated marine environments. This is a far cry from Beaton's (1985:18) declaration that 'The late Holocene [midden] sites on our coast are not just some tail end of our coastal history, they are it!' and from arguments which stress that it was not until sea lwels stabilized during the late Holocene that widespread coastal and marine habitats, highly favourable to human subsistence, evolved and were exploited by hunter-gatherers @ailey and Parkinglon 1988; Hayden 1981; Osborne 1977). It is argued that coastal resources have always been part of the economic round at Cape Range Peninsula and that people with a well developed and sophisticated knowledge ofthe coast and its resources followed the changing shoreline, certainly during Holocene times and by implication during Pleistocene times as well.
