Joe,

I actually did no such thing. The assertions
were not mine but those of experts and they were
not without reason. So they can't be denied
without reason -
as you are trying to do. The burden of proof is on
you as Hitchen would say. And so far you've come up
short to say the least.

Et natione asseritur vobis est diluendum.

Foxy,

Please don't weasel out. You have asserted, and demanded that everybody else chase up hundreds of pages of 'references'. You've asserted, so the onus is on you to provide us with evidence. Otherwise, why should we take the slightest notice ? Please don't try the old one of 'appeal to authority', especially when your Chosen Reference may not be any sort of authority at all.

Ah, I get it: you don't know ! You don't know what sorts of crops were grown (and please don't say 'eels pulled out of a creek') ! You don't know how these imaginary crops were planted or weeded or harvested or transported or stored or traded !

You've asserted; the rest of us can go and watch TV while you find some back-up. No rush.

If you want to read something valuable, try Peter Bellwood's 'First Farmers'. Now, THERE's chapter and verse, in fine detail.

Joe

Foxy,

You may find this interesting:
http://exarc.net/issue-2013-3/ea/reconstruction-danubian-neolithic-house-and-scientific-importance-architectural-studies

It shews the remains of neolithic posts as used in the construction of a building.

Perhaps you could reference similar remains in Australia and shew us the type of dwellings that Aborigines constructed?

Joe,

Bruce Pascoe does give details and footnotes and
lists, names, et cetera. The finromation has is
there you simply don't want to bother with it.
Therefore I can't help you any further due to
your closed mind. You're the one who's always
had a toxic rejection of whatever does not meet
with your viewpoint. And you're not impressing
me at all.

Is Mise,

Try reading Pascoe's book.

Cheers.

Foxy,

All you have to do is tell us what is supposed to be there. You assert: you demonstrate.

Otherwise, yes, we can all keep our minds closed UNTIL we have a skerrick of evidence - then we will open them. But otherwise don't waste other people's time.

And is Pascoe all you've got ? The 'first cities' man ? The 'first societies' man ? That's it ? And all he's got is Mitchell's 'stoops' ? Surely you're not that simple ?

Joe

Joe,

No I am not that simple. And Pascoe has more than
just one source - he footnotes and lists them all.
His is only one of many references that are available
and provide the information. Bill Gammage is another
whose book is worth reading. And there are many, many\
more. Entire bibliographies have been compiled
on the subject. All of it is provided in libraries
near you. You just have to be willing to find it.

A visit to Australian museums are also worth a trip.

Amazing what you can discover.

I don't have the time to do it for you, nor the
inclination.
