Funded Activity Summary

Microanalysis of human fossils: new insights into age, diet and migration. Human occupation of Australia and the Pacific dates back tens of thousands of years. New micro-analytical techniques now make it possible to learn about the life histories of these ancient peoples: their diet, migration paths and the climate in which they lived. This project will benefit the Indigenous populations and researchers of neighbouring countries through collaboration and increased knowledge of their ancestors, thus enhancing Australia's links and status as a good neighbour in the region. This falls squarely into the Research Priority 'Safeguarding Australia - Understanding our Region and the World'. In the future, our analytical approach will give important insights into the complex and rich archaeological heritage of Australia.
