This paper describes the execution and results of an open site survey in the Koolburra Plateau of Cape York Peninsula (for a detail of study area see Flood 1986, this volume). The objective of the survey was to assess the nature and distribution of surface sites on and in the immediate vicinity of the plateau. It aimed to do this through an intensive examination of selected parts of the Echidna Creek catchment.
