Scientists sent a team of divers to explore the sights where the researchers believe there will be ancient sights. The divers two sites off northwestern Australia. The first, in Cape Bruguieres Channel, contained artifacts that are at least 7,000 years old. At the second site, Flying Foam Passage, they found a single artifact that is 8,500 years old. The leader researcher Jonathan Benjamin said "Our results represent the first step in a journey of discovery to explore the potential of archaeology on the continental shelves which can fill a major gap in the human history of the continent,"
This article relates to Location because North Australia is the where the origin of Aborginal people began. The artifacts discovered could tell us a lot about how the Aboriginal people lived and what kinda tools they had. They date back thousands of years ago and could be added to the history of the people. Geography is important for this discovery because archaeologists want to know how the people’s daily lives were like, what kind of government they had, and what kind of beliefs they had. I chose this article because it relates to what we are learning about. In rabbit proof fence the girls family and tribe were aborginals. It caught my attention because of what we were learning in class. I find the article interesting because it can teach us a lot about the past that we may be missing and it could help us understand them better. This article can affect the world because it could make us look at the Aboriginal people differently depending on what the scientists find. The artifacts were said to date back to thousands of years ago but the first Aboriginal people dated back to 75,000 years ago. This article relates to World History because this will make the world view change when they look at the Aboriginal people. In history they were controlled by the white settlers and had to follow every rule they gave them. But how did they live before white settlers? They couldn’t get rations from them or go to shops. They had other ways and the artifacts found could tell us exactly how they lived and got food. Guy, J. (2020, July 02). Archaeologists find ancient Aboriginal sites under the sea.
