If these craters indeed are impact craters and 0.8 Ma old, that's interesting. Even without this new findings there's evidence for multiple cratering events around 0.8 Ma. Apart from the australasian tektites, there's Darwin crater, and there are the Tikal tektites from meso-America.
For those who want the Australasian event framed into the context of early human evolution and hominine presence in east Asia: read appendix 1 of my book (shameless plug): M.
