Scientists say they have found Australia’s first underwater archeological areas off the country’s west coast. The sites are believed to be 7,000 years old. The area where they were found was once dry land. Archeologists say study of the hundreds of found objects will increase understanding of the culture and technological development of Australia’s aboriginal people.
