Australia in the Indo-Pacific: The last 65000 years

(3 Credit Hours) · Undergraduate

This unit focusses on the deep human history of Australia and the Indo-Pacific. The region is playing an increasingly important role in archaeological research and for our understanding of the global story of humanity. Recent years have seen the uncovering of the oldest dated rock art in the world in Indonesia and the region was home to the earliest seafarers, who first settled Australia and New Guinea ca. 65,000 years ago.
