50,000-year-old time capsule of Australia's first coastal people found on Barrow Island, off Western Australia.
50,000-year-old time capsule of Australia's first coastal people found on Barrow Island, 60 km off Western Australia. Research published in Quaternary Science Reviews reveals these Aboriginal people lived on parts of the coastal plateau from 50,000 years ago until rising sea levels separated the island 6,500 years ago. The island and submerged coastlines provide vital insights into how Australia's First Nations people lived during the last ice age.
