Bone discovery near Lower Murray sheds light on Indigenous technologies

Australian Archaelogy has revealed.  The bones have not been identified as human, but the Murrawong bone point, dated between c. 5,300-3,800 years old, sheds light on traditional Indigenous tool-use going back thousands of years. It was discovered in a joint project by Flinders University, Griffith University and other experts. Ngarrindjeri man Dr Christopher Wilson, from Flinders University Archaeology, said the bones were more likely to be from a Kangaroo or Wallaby.  “Every discovery reminds us of the diverse material culture used by Aboriginal peoples in this country.” (a) The Murrawong bone point; (b) superior view; (c) inferior view; and (d) distal edge featuring use-related damage.
