Mysterious 1000-year-old jaw bone on the beach

(jawc.tv) - The jaw of a 1000-year-old child found on Australian beach fits the skull skeleton floating on this beach 6 years ago.

Work is underway to determine the origin of the skeleton. It is not believed to be an aboriginal bone. They think it could come from Asia or the Pacific Ocean.

The skull-based carbon dating method found on the Mona Vale coast in 2008 indicated it dates from 1200 to 1400 BC.

But scientists revealed it was actually 1001, The Daily Telegraph of Australia said.

The jaw bone was found on Sydney's northern sea on September 14 after it was discovered by a passerby. It was transferred to the forensic anthropologist, according to the Daily Mail Australia.

Dr. Xanthe Mallett, anthropologist, senior lecturer in crime and forensic science at the University of New England, told The Daily Telegraph Australia that the skull may belong to a personal collection.

Dr. Mallett said: 'It may have been missing at sea from a ship, and this is purely hypothetical, the person with the skeleton may have decided to bury it on the beach where it was swept away. drifting '.

In 2005, electricians discovered the skeleton of an Aboriginal person dating to 3700 years. The skeleton, called 'Narrabeen Man' , was found near a bus stop on the north beach.

The study showed that the man died of a punch in the head and had at least three stab wounds, The Sydney Morning Herald said.

The rest of Narrabeen man is the oldest discovery found in Sydney.
