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与殖民者最近以及最近的殖民者跨越了海洋。最重要的史前迁移是人们从中国南部，台湾，亚洲以及从那里迁移到密克罗尼西亚和整个太平洋。对玛丽安娜（Marianas）最古老的遗址的新调查将更好地了解早期史前海事能力，定居亚洲和大洋洲岛的移民群体之间的联系以及印度太平洋殖民的过程。对我们邻居的能力和历史的提高知识对澳大利亚带来了明显的国家利益。
