If the indigenous people could recreate the pottery, the pottery would have been widespread around Australia within a few centuries. Not only are the indigenous people of Australia the oldest civilisation on the planet, it is barely civilised. No progression from the hunter-gatherer tribespeople in Australia. We might have seen the end of the Stone Age in Europe about 5000 years ago. But the indigenous people never developed the bronze age.

The pottery was traded from visiting boat people who had mastered pottery making. Why else would there be fragments of pottery on one island, if the Australian colonisers smashed their culture up to 220 years ago? The indigenous would not have straight up forgotten how to make pottery. And we would be seeing much newer remnants of pottery today that was made by indigenous Australians as late as the 1920s.

That's just bigotry and racism.

99.9% of white Australians couldn't make pottery.

So? .... they're not claiming they can or did.

Proof or get off the pottery.... we're sick of this reading in by 'researchers' in their weed smoke filled hazes... desperately seeking something controversial and of interest so they can make a name for themselves.... FCS....

Stick to reality... it was a passing Chinese boat...

Pascoe Pottery.... created from the finest shards in the island.....

See that island over there, Njungawadda? That's Pottery Island - the only place in Australia where they make that stuff..... it's a secret potter's business thing .... and nobody is allowed there to see .... Cool

Let's look back at this researcher - sheila or not sheila? Or a mock sheila or something steeped in the usual total lack of ability to discern reality from unreality, as per the education system...

"The search for pottery of Lizard Island kicked off in 2006, when New Zealand archaeologist Matthew Felgate — co-author of the new paper — was taking a coastal walk.

"He goes on a holiday to Lizard Island, and walks around the intertidal zones, and he found pottery," Professor McNiven said.

Professor McNiven and other Australian researchers couldn't believe it.

"Everyone has been looking for pottery on the Queensland coast forever, none of us have ever found it. His first trip looking for it he finds it."

2006? 18 years of research fellowships to find a few shards that look like stone and somehow attribute those to Aborigines who weren't there?

Yeah, man - youse guys spent years trying to find this crap, man, and I just wandered along a golden beach and found it... yeah... true story... and nowhere near the Queensland coast where the Abos are thick on the ground... it's a miracle!!!

FFS - when will the ABC give this up? 'fish traps, 'fire management', sweeping fields of grain.... FFS... a lie repeated often enough becomes truth, eh?

No wonder the cutters got inside the heads of the young ones these days... they just believe what they're told... it's pushed on them from their first day at pre-school.... wondering about boys and girls... wanna play with that doll? Take your hormones and we'll go find you some pottery to play with.....

FFS ........... NOBODY in their right mind believes any of that crap these days.

Brian has made no responses or further posts to his initial post on this topic. I dare say he just left the topic here as bait to irritate the commonsense thinking people. If this was a court of law, the argument would be conclusive that the aborigines traded for the pottery, that was not made in Australia.

I would argue that the number of potters in Australia of indigenous heritage (including those that are as white as Pascoe) since the time of Federation would probably not make up the numbers of a football game.

99% of all Bwyans posts are made as click bait .. he posts any spurious BS that mentions amazing discoveries about Aboriginals merely so he can call anyone who counters/disagrees with the premise of the post a "Wacist".

Bwyan is always thinking outside the box you know?

Even if it's a paper Mache box in the pouring rain.

I know the sort of shyte you're speaking of ..... it happened here when our local Mayor(long gone) and a few Councilors decided a good boon for the local ecomomy was to have a prison built here.

When the site was chosen out of town a few klms they had to get a bus load of Aboriginals on $300 a day, who came from all over the state, with no connection to the area or local tribe, to scour the area looking for significant Aboriginal trees & sites....

the biggest overzealous trouble maker in the group was a white bloke ... who when seeing a backhoe operator drilling soil sample cores bring up some ochre coloured soil ....

he ran over saying "look, look, ochre - this is where they got ochre" ....

the backhoe operator, a big bloke got down off his machine and said to the bloke ... "that ochre is over a metre and half deep - aboriginals didn't mine for ochre and if you don't

f

uc

k

off with your BS I'll bury you in that drill hole" Grin

Bwyan is like that white overzealous trouble maker who didn't know his arse from his elbow.

They just need to pump out an Academic 'paper' to get more 'fundings' and more intention mainstream - helps get that funding more so.
