To the islands borne - 50,000 years of occupation of Barrow Island Other events...
Barrow Island provides a unique window into human-landscape dynamics on the drowned coastal plain of the North West Shelf. Caves, rock shelters and some thirty open sites provide evidence for stone artefacts, dietary shellfish and fauna, many of which are not found on Barrow Island today. New findings are enabling researchers to better define Aboriginal settlement. Dates for occupation greater than 50,000 years provide firm evidence for an Aboriginal presence in Australia at this very early stage. Join Winthrop Professor Peter Veth to discover how the Barrow Island Archaeology project is providing new and unique insights into the ecology, climate and human use of the North West Shelf.
