Humans arrived in the arid interior of Australia 10,000 years earlier than previously thought, archaeologists working at a site in South Australia believe.

Researchers excavating a rock shelter in the Flinders Ranges have unearthed ancient artefacts dating from up to 49,000 years ago – just 1,000 years or so after humans arrived in Australia – including burnt eggshells and stone tools. A bone from a now-extinct creature known as a Diprotodon optatum – a huge wombat-like marsupial – was also retrieved, offering the clearest evidence yet that humans interacted with such creatures.
