Ancient Aboriginal artefacts likely dumped in a freshwater spring thousands of years ago have been miraculously discovered under the sea off Western Australia.

The 9000-year-old cutting tools were located off Karratha in the Pilbara region by Flinders University archaeologists working alongside colleagues from the University of Western Australia and Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation last year.
