Drone LiDAR reveals three unregistered Aboriginal rock shelters in Australia's rugged Blue Mountains

Drone LiDAR technology has been used to discover three previously unregistered Aboriginal rock shelters in Australia's Blue Mountains region. The shelters contain significant cultural heritage, including red hand stencils and stone artifacts. The discovery was made in collaboration with the Dharug Custodian Aboriginal Corporation, and this innovative approach may improve archaeological surveys in difficult-to-navigate areas.
