13.01.2022 EXCITING NEWS! The Palaeo-Research Institute has started a lecture series as part of the Palaeo-TrACKS project run by Prof. Lombard. Each Month a member of the ...P-RI will present on a recent publication. To start off Womens' Month here in South Africa, our first speaker will be Stephanie Baker who will discuss the large scale implications of the recent Homo erectus discoveries from Drimolen, the oldest in the world! See you there! Note: the platform may change from Zoom, but this will be communicated closer to the time!

11.01.2022 PAINTINGS SAVED IN NYIYAPARLI ROCK SHELTER Significant ochre paintings are relatively rare in the Pilbara, to date. Most of the known rock art in the region i...s characterised as petroglyphs, carvings such as those on the Burrup Peninsula. Associate Professor Lynley Wallis of Griffith University and her team have documented nearly 40 painting sites across the Pilbara. But these particular ones saved the Hope Downs rock shelter from destruction by miners, despite a 'Section 18' approval by the state government for mining to proceed in 2002. They have been created using dry ochre crayons and are suspected to be between 'maybe a few hundred to maybe a couple of thousand years old' (due to the difficulties of dating rock paintings). Boomerangs and kangaroos are depicted, found in 2017 by the team of researchers and Niyiparli traditional owners. After the discovery, the mine pit was redesigned to avoid destruction of the priceless Indigenous heritage.
