Art and ritual connect people socially and help them manage stress. Throughout human history, evidence for this is preserved by the collection and use of ochres (coloured earth minerals). Characterising ancient ochre records across Sunda, Wallacea and Sahul, this project aims to understand people’s use of art and ritual in the most climatically dynamic region on Earth. Furthering Australia's reputation for innovative archaeological science, expected outcomes will include the first large-scale interdisciplinary investigations into how art and ritual were used to help mediate climate flux, generating significant new narratives of past cultural resilience to benefit people currently grappling with climate vulnerabilities.

艺术和仪式将人们在社会上联系起来，帮助他们管理压力。在整个人类历史上，这方面的证据是通过收集和使用赭石（有色地球矿物）来保存的。该项目以巽他、瓦拉西亚和萨胡尔的古代赭石记录为特征，旨在了解地球上气候变化最大的地区人们对艺术和仪式的使用。为了进一步提升澳大利亚在创新考古科学方面的声誉，预计成果将包括首次大规模跨学科调查，研究艺术和仪式如何被用来帮助调解气候变化，产生对过去文化适应力的重要新叙述，以造福目前正在努力应对气候脆弱性的人们。
