jun 29, 62934 BC - Earliest evidence of seed grinding, pigment-processing and the use of edge-ground hatchets

Description:

Tools and pigments, found at Madjedbeb, Mirrarr Country in Northern Arnhem Land are dated, by archaeological research in 2017, to be at least 65,000 years old, much earlier than the previous estimates of occupation of Australia by First Nations peoples. These tools and pigments are the earliest evidence of seed grinding, pigment-processing and the use of edge-ground hatchets in the world.
