Y'all got any papers on one of the Australian Aboriginal societies deep frying?

Relatedly, there was a discussion here on Native Americans using seed oils for cooking that indicated that they did so rarely, if at all.

But native Americans did harvest lard to make protein bars, so possibly animal fat frying

I'm not sure I'd call any part of the process of making pemmican "frying."

Certainly not. My point was solely that their only method of deep frying would have involved lard, and I can’t say either way whether they did so
