Monash University The first conclusive archaeological evidence of insects as a food source in Australia has been discovered by a group of archaeologists and traditional land owners. Led by Monash University and the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC), the researchers found food remains of Bogong moths on a stone tool in a cave in the foothills of the Australian Alps in Victoria. The microscopic remains were found on a small, portable grindstone that would have been carried around by its owners during travels. The group can also lay claim to discovering the first conclusive archaeological evidence of insect food remains on stone artefacts anywhere in the world.
