在西方世界的大部分地区，定居者考古学家进行的合作研究很容易，至少部分地，继续殖民项目。然而，在这种背景下，澳大利亚第一民族的人民继续与研究人员合作，推动研究实践的系统变革。社区参与的考古学，在这里被定义为共同开发的祖先遗址研究（遵循Schaepe等人2017），旨在改善土著人民和考古学家之间的关系。即便如此，在机构优先事项和资助机构官僚机构方面，与非定居者社区一起进行考古学的实践仍然不发达。在这里，我们（Mirabel传统业主，Mirabel员工和定居者考古学家研究人员）反思这些问题，作为我们正在进行的研究的一部分，在鳄鱼河地区，北领地，澳大利亚著名的Madjedbebe岩石庇护所的赭石和bim（岩石艺术）。
In much of the Western world, collaborative research undertaken by settler archaeologists readily lends itself, at least in part, to a continuation of the colonial project. Yet, against this backdrop, Australia's First Nations’ peoples continue to work with researchers and to drive systemic change in research practice. Community-engaged archaeology, defined here as codeveloped studies of ancestral places (following Schaepe et al. 2017), is directed to improving relationships between Indigenous peoples and archaeologists. Even so, the practice of archaeology with and for nonsettler communities remains underdeveloped with regard to institutional priorities and funding agency bureaucracies. Here, we (Mirarr Traditional Owners, Mirarr employees, and settler archaeologist researchers) reflect on these issues as part of our ongoing research on the ochres and bim (rock art) of the well-known Madjedbebe rockshelter in the Alligator Rivers region, Northern Territory, Australia.
