Archaeological Discovery In Kakadu
#13
I should have mentioned some of the stone tool discoveries.

Edge ground tools or stone axes are generally associated with early agriculture and are usually found in sites less than 10,000 years old.  Aboriginal people had stone axes well before that (>20,000) but this site pushes the earliest stone axes much further back.

Other artefacts indicate a seed grinding technology.  Once again something that is usually associated with agriculture or in the relatively recent past in Australia.
