This project will be used to foster a greater awareness of the history of Aboriginal occupation in the Torres Strait islands, as well as furthering our understanding of past and present relationships between groups in Torres Strait, Cape York and Papua New Guinea. The research seeks to understand the southern-most limits of early Papuan influences into the Torres Strait islands and investigate the notion of a distinctive Aboriginal signature in the archaeological record from the Kaurareg Archipelago (south-Western Torres Strait islands). This project will also record contemporary perspectives from the traditional owners of the Kaurareg Archipelago (the Kaurareg Aboriginal community) to better understand interregional relationships today.

该项目将用于提高对托雷斯海峡岛屿土著占领历史的认识，并进一步了解托雷斯海峡、约克角和巴布亚新几内亚各群体之间过去和现在的关系。该研究旨在了解早期巴布亚人对托雷斯海峡群岛影响的最南端，并调查来自Kaurareg群岛（托雷斯海峡群岛西南部）的考古记录中独特的土著签名的概念。该项目还将记录Kaurareg群岛（Kaurareg土著社区）传统所有者的当代观点，以更好地理解今天的区域间关系。
