Intensification has been a large topic of debate in Australian archaeology. Archaeologists have created an "intensification" model that hypothesizes that foraging economies became more specialized, productive, and efficient during the Holocene; essentially a progression of Pleistocene life (Hiscock, 2008). Others have suggested that economic activities have a long duration or that more recent economic transformations have not necessarily been more efficient or more sophisticated than previous ones (Hiscock, 2008). The “great intensification debate” is largely focused on what social and environmental circumstances could have given rise to economic changes based on archaeological evidence (Hiscock, 2008). Discussions in the 1970s and 1980s within both sides of the debate indicate population changes, changing behaviors, and natural processes are the big determining factors (Attenbrow, 2004). Many archaeologists have accepted that there has been a continuous increase over time in the number of archaeological sites established and used, as well as in the number of artefacts accumulated at individual sites, particularly over the last 5000 years (e.g. Johnson 1979:39; Bowdler 1981; Morwood 1984:371, 1986, 1987; Ross 1984, 1985:87; Beaton 1985: 16-18: 282, 286) (Attenbrow, 2004). Demographic change refers to changes in the number of people or population size, behavioral changes refer to changes in activities such as tool production, subsistence practices and the use of space within a site (Attenbrow , 2004). While natural processes include geomorphological and biological processes that may have influenced the archaeological record (A... middle of the paper... preservation is a significant factor in producing chronological differences in the abundance of archaeological objects (Hiscock, 2008) making it questionable if there was any indication of “intensification,” as the evidence base is not present. Abandoning the idea of ​​“intensification” may alter the interpretation of Australia's indigenous past (Holdaway et al., 2008). So far today, the term 'intensification' generally refers to changes based on archaeological evidence during the Holocene. However, if the archaeological record during the Pleistocene were more extensive, perhaps this term would be granted as a more legitimate term to use for this period. It appears that the archaeological restrictions of the Australian Pleistocene have prevented the term from being applied when referring to any economic change. observed before the Holocene..
