DESCRIPTION:Please join us for an in-person screening and informal discussi
 on of the Archaeology Hour talk by Helen Green (University of Melbourne).\
 n\n \n\nAustralia hosts the world’s oldest continuing culture\, and Abor
 iginal rock art represents one of its most significant records of knowledg
 e. These paintings and engravings remain of deep importance to Aboriginal 
 people today and provide valuable evidence for researchers seeking to unde
 rstand long-term human-environment interactions. Yet one of the greatest c
 hallenges in rock art research is determining age. Without knowing how old
  the paintings and engravings are\, it is difficult to understand how the 
 artworks relate to past changes in climate\, environment\, or culture. In 
 this talk\, Dr. Helen Green will outline the latest scientific techniques 
 used to establish the age of Australia’s oldest rock art\, and the innov
 ative\, multi-disciplinary projects that bring together traditional Indige
 nous knowledge and Western science to deepen our understanding of these re
 markable cultural records and how we might protect them into the future.\n
 \n \n\nThis event is free and open to the public.
