Luminescence

• We detail our findings in newly published research in collaboration with archaeological expert Liz Hatte and Jangga Elders Colin McLennan and Marie Wallace.
• Our excavation of the layered sediments at Avon Downs reveals a long history of raw stone extraction and tool making.
• By dating these artefacts, we have traced a 7,000-year history of continuous stone tool production by Aboriginal women – including objects traditionally associated with men.

Hundreds of generations of tool making

• This implies the site was used for stone tool production and possibly as a sacred women’s area for hundreds of generations.
• Jangga Elders Colin McLennan and Marie Wallace have a shared memory extending as far back as at least six generations.
• Drill points, ochre and a grinding stone and muller are further evidence of everyday tool making and decoration.

Railway project disruptions

• It sits in the way of the North Galilee Basin Rail Project, which stretches from the Carmichael coal mine to the port at Abbot Point.
• Planning for this project started in 2012, prompting cultural heritage surveys, assessments and negotiations with Traditional Owners.
• So while the railway project will not run directly through, it has still compromised the integrity of the area.

Protecting sacred area

• Sacred Aborignal women’s sites are often difficult to protect in their entirety.
• Throughout Australia, there are only a handful of examples where Aboriginal women have chosen to disclose secret information to protect sacred women’s sites for future generations.
• When explaining the importance of protecting and recording Jangga traditional knowledge and culture, Wallace emphasised the Jangga people’s belief that such sacred places can even be dangerous: You are not supposed to touch anything, or take away something.

• Completely replacing them with LED illuminators, which are devoid of these imperfections, was a revolutionary step in the industry.
• Now, the Video Spectral Comparator Regula 4306 is fully equipped with LED illuminators, while 99% of the light sources in other Regula comparators utilize LED technology.
• “Regula was the first forensic equipment manufacturer to begin integrating LED light sources into forensic hardware solutions back in 1998.
• Regula’s family of advanced forensic equipment now includes four video spectral comparators, with the Video Spectral Comparator Regula 4306 serving as one of the leading models.

• The new research builds on an earlier discovery for creating continuously glowing plants by inserting DNA obtained from the mushrooms.
• Light Bio is excited to begin taking orders today for its category-defining Firefly Petunias, available at www.light.bio , today.
• Light Bio chose the petunia as its first product because it is one of the most popular ornamental plants in the world.
• In addition to the pure joy these plants bring, the underlying science also helps to elucidate the molecular physiology of plants.
