Williams Point is an iconic late Quaternary sedimentary sequence exposed at the southern margin of Madigan Gulf at Kati Thanda – Lake Eyre (KT-LE), Australia's largest lake. The ∼15 m high cliff outcrop includes 6 m of aeolian sediments, capping a ∼0.5 m beach/shoreline facies containing abundant Coxiella (aquatic gastropod) unconformably overlying 5–6 m of fluvio-lacustrine facies. The base of the outcrop and the playa floor comprises shallow and deeper water laminated lacustrine sediments. We re-examine the stratigraphic sequence using detailed excavations, micromorphological analysis and geochemical characterisation (X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, palaeoecology, stable isotope analysis of gypsum hydration water and biogenic carbonates, rare earth element analysis) and present a revised chronology using single-grain optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) within a Bayesian framework. Our new chronostratigraphic data generally supports previous interpretations for
