Drone LiDAR Discovers Three Unregistered Aboriginal Rock Shelters
Researchers used drone LiDAR technology to identify three previously unregistered Aboriginal rock shelters in Australia's Blue Mountains. Working with the Dharug Custodian Aboriginal Corporation, they documented red hand stencils and stone artifacts, highlighting significant cultural heritage. This method may enhance archaeological surveys in challenging terrains and is being tested for broader use across Australian landscapes to aid heritage preservation.
