Exciting find!
Fortunately lots of archeology sites are under water where we couldn't get at them to destroy 'em.
Lucky for us.
Everytime I see something like this I always wonder why, aside from the science aspects, why Aboriginals aren't asked where or if this is included in their Dreamtime oral history? Even if done non-publicly?
From the outside it's never made any sense that history books brag about the AU Aboriginals long residence and eons long oral record of Australia but whenever something new is found any info they could contribute isn't even asked of them. Of course I "get" that the AU govt just wishes they'd go away but the rest of the world is facinated with their stories-oral history-longevity.
Not looking to delve into AU politics or past behavior, just curious.
