[QUOTE]Originally posted by DD'eDeN: [QB] http://s1.zetaboards.com/anthroscape/topic/8102846/1/ http://cuevadelapileta.blogspot.com/2017/05/japans-oldest-human-skeleton-found-in.html A human skeleton thought to be the oldest in Japan has been found in a collapsed cave in Okinawa, a local museum said Friday, adding that it appears to be around 27,000 years old. The nearly complete skeleton, dating from the Old Stone Age, appears to have been intentionally placed in the cave, providing the first evidence of a funerary rite dating from that period, according to the Okinawa Prefecture Archeological Center. Previously, the oldest human bones discovered in Japan were a set dating from around 22,000 years ago that were found in the southern part of Okinawa Island. The skeleton was discovered in Shirahosaonetabaru cave on Ishigaki Island during research at the site from 2010 to 2016. - - - http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/latest-news/aust-coastal-occupation-50000-years-old/news-story/c2ae41497bdd77599f2d0a94e5cba98f Aust coastal island occupation '50,000 years old' "Indigenous people lived along Australia's coast about 50,000 years ago, archaeologists say, after discovering dietary remains on an island off Western Australia. The remains in a cave on Barrow Island, about 50km off the Pilbara coast, provide the earliest evidence of the coastal occupation of Australia, says Professor Peter Veth, the study's lead archaeologist from the University of Western Australia. "We've actually got very firm evidence of people living on the coast that we didn't have before," he said. "The cave was used predominantly as a hunting shelter about 50,000 and 30,000 years ago before becoming a residential base for family groups after 10,000 years ago." (I thought the Buti/Booty island site was older, 55ka?) [/QB][/QUOTE]
