A recent study led by Dr. Ana Paula Motta, in collaboration with the Balanggarra Aboriginal Corporation, has uncovered a previously unknown style of rock art in Australia’s north-east Kimberley region. The findings, recently published in Australian Archaeology, propose the addition of a new category to the current Kimberley rock art sequence: the Linear Naturalistic Figures (LNF)

archaeological evidence suggests that Aboriginal Australians were among the first people in the world to make stone axes, particularly those with ground-edge technology. A fragment of a stone axe, possibly the oldest known axe with a handle, has been found in Western Australia, dating back to 44,000 to 49,000 years ago. This discovery indicates that the axe technology may have been developed in Australia after people arrived on the continent around 50,000 years ago
