Our new study out in @ScienceAdvances shows human presence in Tasmania at least 41,600 years ago, nearly 2000 years earlier than previously thought, and Aboriginal people burned and used wet forests. Link: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Landscape burning facilitated Aboriginal migration into Lutruwita/Tasmania 41,600 years ago
Paleoecological records show that Aboriginal people burned wet forest to first settle in Tasmania 41,600 years ago.

Part of my research has been to identify and describe one of the oldest continuous Aboriginal shell tool traditions identified in Boodie Cave, Barrow Island commencing 46,000 years ago and still in use until the recent past by Thalanyji people.

Aboriginal people made pottery and sailed to distant offshore islands thousands of years before Europeans arrived
Pottery made more than 1800 years ago by Aboriginal communities on Jiigurru in the Lizard Island group in the Great Barrier Reef is the oldest ever found in Australia.
