Maxime Aubert

Maxime Aubert is an Adjunct Professor with the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Southern Cross University (SCU), Australia. Based in Lismore, he bridges the disciplines of archaeology and geochemistry to investigate the chronology and context of early human artistic expression.

His research centres on:

• High-precision geochemical dating of rock art and associated archaeological deposits.
• Understanding the evolutionary processes that shaped Homo sapiens, particularly through symbolic behaviour preserved in ancient imagery.
• Integrating geochronological techniques with palaeoenvironmental reconstructions to illuminate the timing and drivers of human dispersals.

No specific publications, awards, or lists of graduate students are provided in the source text, but Professor Aubert actively invites prospective master’s and doctoral candidates to explore SCU’s higher-degree-by-research programmes under his supervision.
