Watched a doco on Mungo Lakes on NITV the other day & it would be really great to have more Indigenous Archaeologists in Australia to assist with Culturally Appropriate research that is being undertaken
8:17 there is actually a 4th scar on that tree in this shot in the upper left hand corner of the video. The branch has since snapped but half the scar is visible
c51:00 - that sort of edge/weight is ideal for splitting larger bones, likewise the 'bashing' scars correspond with the sort of abrasion you would get from trying to crush/crack open the end of a bone or crack a skull. Not saying it is, but it fits & would be a likely use in a hearth/food prep area
No insult intended but how does anyone know what or how the rocks were used. There is no historic record showing us how these things were done. It seems archaeologists use native stone use techniques from other countries to explain indigenous history.
A fascinating subject no doubt but the constant sniffling and slurping of phlegm by the presenter is a really off putting aspect of this documentary. Please blow your nose before speaking to camera.
Really enjoyed this video, thank you.

The term "on country" is modern indigenous pigeon english used to describe their affinity to the land.
Incredible to watch
I wonder if there is an update to this since they have analysed some cooking spots?

I really want to wander lands like these, but am unsure i'f be allowed or welcome to.
Did you just refer to Australia as ‘England Australia’?
