The narrative of culture contact in Australia is dominated by British colonisation, yet Indigenous Australians in Northern Australia had a much earlier connection with global explorers and traders. We aim to conduct the first systematic maritime and terrestrial archaeological investigations of the Tiwi Islands, alongside the study of material culture, oral history and archival materials associated with early Dutch explorers, British colonists, and Macassans. This multi-disciplinary approach will broaden our understanding of long-term race relations in Australia, the past presence of foreign visitors to Northern Australia, develop cultural heritage public policy and consolidate Tiwi cultural identity and history into the historical record.

澳大利亚文化接触的叙事被英国殖民统治所主导，然而澳大利亚北部的土著澳大利亚人与全球探险家和商人的联系要早得多。我们的目标是对Tiwi群岛进行第一次系统的海洋和陆地考古调查，同时研究与早期荷兰探险家、英国殖民者和Macassans有关的物质文化、口述历史和档案材料。这种多学科的方法将扩大我们对澳大利亚长期种族关系的了解，了解过去外国游客到北澳大利亚的存在，制定文化遗产公共政策，并将Tiwi文化身份和历史巩固到历史记录中。
