Ancient History

Snippet: Archaeologists from the Australian Museum, the University of Sydney and The Australian National University (ANU), in collaboration with First Nations community members who hold cultural connections with the Blue Mountains, have unearthed 693 stone artifacts dating from the last ice age to the recent past.

Found in an ancient Blue Mountains cave known as Dargan Shelter, this new evidence provides definitive proof of repeated occupation in this once frozen high-altitude landscape. The research is published in Nature Human Behaviour.
