The construction of models of past settlement systems in the Australian arid zone are based on serious misunderstandings of the formation of deflated archaeological deposits. This in turn leads to the application of inappropriate interpretative frameworks that often ignore chronological contexts and assume that spatially separate deposits are contemporary, and demonstrate consistency in human behaviour through time. This denies archaeologists the opportunity to explore the temporal aspects of deflated records, both in terms of chronology and the management of stone artefact manufacture across space and through time. Radiocarbon determinations from heat-retainer hearths and stone artefact assemblage data from the Pine Point/Langwell area of western New South Wales (NSW) near Broken Hill are used to demonstrate the concept of archaeological deposits as persistent places across the landscape. This combined with an analysis of variability in stone artefact assemblage composition provides an alternative framework to synchronic models.
