Warratyi

Warratyi is a rock shelter in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia, representing the oldest known site of human habitation in inland Australia [1]. Discovered accidentally in 2011 by a local resident, the shelter contains thousands of artefacts and bone fragments dating between 49,000 and 10,000 years ago [1]. The excavations revealed Australia's earliest evidence of bone and stone-axe technology, ochre use, and interaction with megafauna such as Diprotodon [1].
