Context (Amendments / updates)
The Period for this object, along with other Kimberley Points in the museum's collection, was originally given as 'Palaeolithic'. However, Kimberley Points were made after the European settlement of Australia, and especially in the late 19th century. It is not known precisely when this point was made, so the Period has been updated to simply 'Modern'.
