"Aboriginal Hotspot: 4000 Stone Artifacts Uncover Ice Age Secrets of Drowned Australian Land"
An analysis of over 4,000 stone artifacts on Barrow Island off northwestern Australia provides insights into Aboriginal life during the last ice age, revealing connections between the island and the mainland. The artifacts, dating back to 29,000-19,000 years ago, suggest a diverse range of tools and materials, indicating trade and exchange between different groups. The study sheds light on the ancient connections and landscape use by Aboriginal peoples during a time period that is virtually unknown elsewhere on the continent.
