    Mungo Man was discovered in 1974 in Mungo National Park in New South Wales, Australia. Analysis of the ochre buried with the remains provided insights into Aboriginal burial practices. Mungo Lady's burial site was discovered nearby and dated much older than Mungo Man. Genetic testing on Mungo Man's hair provided evidence that Aboriginal Australians were the earliest inhabitants of the continent. Coastal environments supported communities through fishing and gathering shellfish and sea mammals provided an abundant food source. Relocating communities was sometimes necessary to access seasonal food sources. The archaeological record shows Aboriginal people engaged in a single wave migration over 50,000 years ago. Rock art at the cave sites depict animal species no longer found in the area. Archaeological
