The pacific

Back to The Pacific: 1000 to 700 B.C.

Advanced Neolithic cultures existed throughout many of the Pacific islands. In Australia, the aborigines developed complex kin relationships and a religion involving time-consuming, elaborate rituals. Stone and wooden tablets containing symbols were kept in sacred places which women or uninitiated boys were forbidden to even approach. Some fine painting was done on rocks and bark. (Ref. 19 )
