Riversleigh's vast trove of fossils lets scientists see deep into the past - and unearth lessons for the future A certain type of person might regard Phil Creaser's life as a tiny bit humdrum. Fair-skinned and bespectacled, he works from a desk as a project coordinator in the Commonwealth public service, returning in the evenings to an empty house.

(These, along with 5,700 artefacts and 4,500 pages of field notes, form a priceless ethnographic collection at Museum Victoria.) They document the vanished world of a self-sufficient and proud nomadic society: a solemn young widow receiving a ceremonial staff topped with a bundle of string and her husband's finger bone; hunters gliding stealthily on canoes through the giant Arafura Swamp.
