Document Summary
Lower middle and upper palaeolithic (class i missed) These are exactly what were written on the slides, and a bit more. Colonization of australia- still in palaeolithic, 10 000 years ago in australia 15 000 years ago in the americas. Se asia towards the end of the plaesticine. Made it from se asia up to australia sometime by 40 kya (40 000 years ago). Shows early cremation (mungo lady ca 40 kya) Nearby ochre burial of mungo man (also about 40 kya) Some debate as to when people first arrived there. Arch evidence shows around 15-13 kya likely more than 1 migration. Beringia was a landmass linking ne asia to alaska; now under the bering sea. Passage south by 14 kya - ice free corridor . Because before that the glacial cap over the americas didn t start to melt yet. Cordilleran ice sheet and the massive laurentide ice sheet covering pretty much all of canada.
