From the 1860s, most Aboriginal people in south-eastern Australia were confined to reserves such as Ebenezer Mission, and despite official accounts which argue for the success of the 'civilising' enterprise, archaeological evidence promises to provide a new Indigenous perspective. Investigation of this key site, in collaboration with Aboriginal descendants, will reveal 1. How everyday life on the mission was experienced by different social groups: Aboriginal girls, boys, families and 'fringe' dwellers, and Moravian missionaries, 2. The role of gender organisation within the colonial process, and 3. How Aboriginal cultural identity was shaped by missionisation. A range of general and scholarly histories will be produced.

自19世纪60年代以来，澳大利亚东南部的大多数原住民都被限制在埃比尼泽传教士传教士等保护区内，尽管官方声称这项“文明”事业取得了成功，但考古证据有望提供一个新的原住民视角。与土著后裔合作对这一关键地点的调查将揭示1.不同社会群体--土著女孩、男孩、家庭和“边缘”居民以及摩拉维亚传教士--在传教期间如何经历日常生活，2.性别组织在殖民进程中的作用，3.传教如何塑造土著文化特性。将出版一系列通史和学术史。
