Australian archaeologists uncover 40,000-year-old site
Australian archaeologists have uncovered what they believe to be the world’s southernmost site of early human life, a 40,000-year-old tribal meeting ground, an Aboriginal leader said Wednesday.
The site appears to have been the last place of refuge for Aboriginal tribes from the cannon fire of Australia’s first white settlers, said Michael Mansell of the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre.
The find came during an archaeological survey ahead of roadworks near Tasmania’s Derwent River and soil dating had established the age of the artefacts found there.
I don’t know where they’re getting all the stuff about “tribal meeting grounds” and recent shootings of aboriginals from a 40k year od site. . . .
UPDATE: And more!
