The project aims to provide a high-resolution archaeological record of ritual mobility by examining a Torres Strait Islander initiation pathway. The project is expected to generate new knowledge about human movement and improve public understanding of Indigenous peoples connection with country. Anticipated outcomes of the multi-disciplinary and community-led research include the first detailed record of ancient ritual mobility in northern Australia and development of a web-based system to transfer archival information between cultural institutions and remote communities. This should provide significant benefits and assist Meriam people to engage with their cultural heritage and expand public knowledge about Indigenous forms of mobility.

该项目旨在通过研究托雷斯海峡岛民的入门途径，提供仪式流动性的高分辨率考古记录。预计该项目将产生关于人类运动的新知识，并提高公众对土著人民与国家关系的理解。多学科和社区主导的研究的预期成果包括澳大利亚北方古代仪式流动性的第一个详细记录，以及开发一个基于网络的系统，在文化机构和偏远社区之间传输档案信息。这应该会带来巨大的好处，并帮助梅里亚姆人参与他们的文化遗产，扩大公众对土著流动形式的了解。
