The Asia-Pacific region, including Australia, is linked by seas and oceans that have been crossed by colonists in ancient as well as recent times. The most significant prehistoric migration was the movement of people out of southern China, into Taiwan, Island Asia and from there into Micronesia and across the Pacific. New investigations of the oldest sites in the Marianas will provide better understanding of early prehistoric maritime capacity, the connections between migrant groups who settled the islands of Asia and Oceania, and the processes of Indo-Pacific colonization. Improved knowledge of our neighbours capabilities and history is of clear national benefit to Australia.

包括澳大利亚在内的亚太地区被古代和近代殖民者穿越的海洋连接在一起。最重要的史前移民是人们从中国南部迁移到台湾，亚洲岛屿，然后从那里进入密克罗尼西亚，跨越太平洋。对马里亚纳群岛最古老遗址的新调查将更好地了解早期史前海洋能力，定居亚洲和大洋洲岛屿的移民群体之间的联系，以及印度-太平洋殖民化的过程。更好地了解我们邻国的能力和历史对澳大利亚来说显然是有益的。
