Archaeological evidence of Aboriginal life in Sydney

The lives, activities and material culture of the people who lived in the Sydney area for thousands of years before Europeans arrived are only revealed by archaeological evidence. Sydney has many diverse sites where physical evidence of the first inhabitants can be found, revealing much about their technologies, diets, cultures and occupations, and how these changed in the centuries before European settlement changed everything.
