Narrabeen Man
Narrabeen Man is the name given to a 4,000-year-old skeleton of a tall Australian Aboriginal man found during road works in Narrabeen, a coastal suburb North of Sydney, in January 2005.
==Discovery and dating==
The skeleton was found by contractors digging in a ditch for electricity cables near the corners of Octavia Street and Ocean Street, Narrabeen. A forensic investigation was undertaken and bone samples were sent to Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California to determine the age of the remains. Radiocarbon dating of the bone suggested an age of around 4,000 years for the skeleton. This is recorded to be Sydney's oldest skeleton, and is Australia's third oldest skeletal remains behind Mungo Man and Mungo Lady.
An archaeological dig at the site revealed that Narrabeen Man was found in a posture unlike a tribal ceremonial burial. Rather than lying on his front with hands by the side or across the chest, the Narrabeen Man was on his side with one arm across his head. Further investigation of the skeletal remains revealed evidence of spear ends found embedded into his vertebrae and near other parts of the body. This indicated death by spearing and suggested to archaeologist Dr. Denise Danny that Narrabeen Man was perhaps the first physical evidence of ritual murder in Australia.
