Museums, universities and other institutions have collected many cultural artefacts that belong to Indigenous communities, including stone tools - the research focus of archaeologist and geochemist Dr Michelle Richard. Streaming live from the Parkville campus, discover how the origins of these tools are often mysterious: how old are they and where do they come from, exactly?
New, non-destructive analytical techniques can answer these questions, trace the technological developments of ancient cultures, and show how Indigenous peoples interacted with each other and with early settlers across Australia and the Pacific. This research reconnects communities with their precious cultural heritage.
