How was Mungo Man buried?
Mungo Man was found in pink- coloured sand, which suggests he was covered in a layer of ochre when he was buried. This provides the earliest evidence of the ritual use of ochre in a burial in the world, it is also very significant in Australia's history as it has stretched our history back 20,000 years more than we originally thought.
