Archaeologists upend what we thought we knew about early Indigenous Australians

from First Nations First

Archaeologists have discovered ancient Indigenous artifacts on an island off Cape York, challenging the long held notion that Indigenous Australians did not make pottery. The discovery of 82 pieces of Indigenous pottery on Jiigurru is the earliest ever identified in Australia, and provides a glimpse into just how far back the craftsmanship and innovation of Australia's Traditional Owners really stretches.
